For a limited time we are offering a 30 day evaluation copy of the most comprehensive documentation software tool available – 3DVIA Composer.

Here is how it works, to begin the process of obtaining the 30 day evaluation copy, you must attend the upcoming 3DVIA Composer webinar scheduled for Monday June 7 at 10am EST. Upon completion of the webinar you will receive an access code to obtain your trial version.

At 3DVision Technologies we understand that today’s plastic part designers and injection mold makers face a unique set of industry challenges. Do your customers:

• Demand shorter delivery times so they can be first to market with new designs?
• Send last-minute design changes, but expect you to still meet the original delivery dates?
• Encounter communication issues between product designers and mold-makers because the products are designed in one country but molded in another?

If your answer to any of these questions is YES, then SolidWorks CAD software combined with SimpoeWorks plastic injection simulation software just might be the right solution for you.

For a limited time, buy SolidWorks together with SimpoeWorks and get a 20% discount.

SimpoWorks is the only plastic injection simulation software totally embedded into SolidWorks so you never need to leave the SolidWorks interface.

Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (CSI) of St. Paul, Minnesota was faced with the challenge to develop, commercialize and manufacture clinically proven, safe and effective medical devices for the treatment of vascular disease.

Through the development of a disposable, diamond-coated catheter-based device, CSI is revolutionizing the world.

By implementing SolidWorks design software, SolidWorks Simulation Premium analysis, and 3DVIA Composer technical communication software, CSI was able to accelerate development, streamline manufacturing, and garner regulatory approvals.

The Competitive Advantages of 3D Printing
An ideal complement to CAD, Dimension 3D printing offers a fast, low-cost alternative to traditional rapid prototyping for building concept and working models. Designed for workstation and network access much like a standard laser printer, Dimension 3D printing is growing in usage along with the unprecedented growth of CAD solid modeling.

Cost is a Big Difference
Both rapid prototyping (RP) and Dimension 3D printing technologies build models layer by layer from STL data. The cost difference per part between Dimension 3D printing and rapid prototyping systems can be significant. Including material, machine depreciation, system maintenance and labor, a part built using rapid prototyping technology can cost nearly twice as much compared to 3D printing. More expensive rapid prototyping systems are often centrally located with a dedicated staff functioning much like an in-house service bureau. Dimension 3D printers are smaller, more affordable and suitable for installation near an end user providing convenience and ease of use that eliminates "departmental delay."

In-house Beats Outsourced
Enlisting a service provider to build prototype parts requires exchanging confidential STL data. Turnaround time depends on the quality and complexity of the STL file and can require additional CAD work.

While there are many variables in comparing service provider costs with internal 3D printing costs, i.e., part complexity, size and tolerances, etc., a company sending one relatively simple part per week to an outside service provider could, by comparison, pay for a Dimension 3D printer in a matter of months - and maintain control and confidentiality internally.

For a limited time, 3DVision Technologies is offering Dimension leasing options through Stratasys, the system manufacturer. For more information, email info@3dvision.com and request a quote.

We have borne witness to the devastation from the recent oil leak but how does that impact you?
Well, ask yourself;

• During your design process do you ever wonder if the choices of your materials have an impact on the environment?
• Are your current products environmentally friendly?
• Do you have customers that request greener products?
• Is it important for your company to design products that has less impact on the environment?

We all want to design better, but isn’t it time we start to design “greener”?

SolidWorks has developed an integrated product that will help your organization become an effortlessly environmentally conscious company.

3DVision Technologies offers hands-on product seminars, webinars and demos free for engineers, engineering managers and designers looking to educate themselves on Design Validation, Product Data Management, Documentation Software, 3D Printing & Design Automation.
