The world’s fastest and most powerful direct modeler

• Pull, Move, Fill, and Combine tools enable hands-on 3D design
• Quickly create and iterate design concepts
• Create solid models without the complexity of traditional feature-based CAD
• State of the art rendering

Rich environment for engineering and conceptual design

• Create multi-discipline concept models for engineering consensus prior to detailed design
• Perform what-if studies by editing designs, regardless of how they were created
• Powerful capabilities to clean up imported geometry and simplify models for analysis
• Includes special tools to design and flatten sheet metal components

Fits into your existing design process

• Work with popular common formats such as AutoCAD, SketchUp, ACIS, STEP, IGES, ECAD, Rhinoceros, CGR, DWG, DXF, STL, OBJ, XAML, VRML, and 3D PDF (requires Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended)
• Optional modules available to read native CAD data from SolidWorks, Pro/E (Creo), CATIA, NX, and more
• Integrated with many leading CAE and CAM tools
• Create high-quality models for the detailed design team

3D cross section creation and manipulation

• Draw 3D extruded, revolved, and swept geometry without ever leaving a 2D cross section
• Sketch out a new concept assembly without ever having to perform extra work
• Import a complex assembly, section through it, and immediately edit the section using the same Pull and Move tools you use in 3D

Flexible assembly structure

• Turn a part into an assembly or vice versa
• Create assembly structure before you've drawn a shape, or draw a dozen parts and create the structure later
• Never worry about inter-component relationships preventing changes
• Export subassemblies into external file for reuse with other designs, or incorporate an existing design for unique customization without impacting other designs

Parameters without constraints

• Change the value of a dimension simply by selecting what you want to move and editing the value: your geometry goes to the right place.
  There's no need to set up complicated systems of constraints. Different users can set up and save their own sets of dimensions so that others can work with the model the way they want.

Design in any context

The same tools work to edit assemblies, parts, drawing views, and 3D markups enable you to create and make changes wherever you see the need. You don't have to worry about switching to the right mode.

Watch a video of SpaceClaim Document Management for SharePoint in action. This functionality is available via a plug-in for SpaceClaim Engineer, available on the MySpaceClaim website. Several SpaceClaim Solution Partners also offer document management capabilities, and many SpaceClaim users work with their current PDM and PLM providers to ensure SpaceClaim documents are supported by those systems.

Free TraceParts Library Access

All SpaceClaim users (version 2011 or later) receive free access to the TraceParts library of over 100 million standard CAD models from leading parts manufacturers. Read more about this free resource for SpaceClaim users.

Free SpaceClaim Plug-In for Rhinoceros

Starting with any stored .3dm document, the SpaceClaim-to-Rhino Plug-in provides a round-trip that directly exports the current window from Rhino to SpaceClaim and imports the window contents of SpaceClaim back to Rhino. Software requirements include: Rhino 4.0 and SpaceClaim 2008 or later. See Help About for instructions on enabling this Plug-in on your system.

SpaceClaim Viewer

• Using the free SpaceClaim viewer, you can share a SpaceClaim design with a client, but your client doesn't need to use 3D or have SpaceClaim itself installed on his or her computer. With a simple 5MB download, anyone on Windows can view your designs from Window Explorer, Microsoft Outlook, and other applications. They only have to download the free SpaceClaim Viewer.
• Read the SpaceClaim End-User License and Subscription Services agreement.
