Delcam, the UK’s leading developer of CADCAM software, is
pleased to announce the addition of a Cimatron translator to its
online data exchange service, PS-Exchange. The Cimatron
Interface is provided totally free of charge for an
introductory period.
The addition of the Cimatron format to PS-Exchange will
enable toolmakers and other subcontractors to read in the huge
variety of files supplied by their customers without any need to
purchase extra software. The full range of options for input
into PS-Exchange is now Cimatron, CATIA, Pro/Engineer (including
2000i2) , SolidEdge, SolidWorks, Unigraphics, Parasolid XT, IGES,
VDA and STEP, while files can be exported as IGES, STEP,
Parasolid XT or as Delcam’s own DGK format.
PS-Exchange offers two advantages of over other online
translation providers - speed and security. Other services
require the CAD model to be sent to the service provider for
translation and then returned. With PS-Exchange, the translation
software is stored on the user’s own computer. To use the
service, the user simply obtains a real-time authorisation from
Delcam’s web server - <Http://www.delcam.com/exchange/exchange.htm>
This approach gives much faster results since transferring a
short authorisation code is much quicker and easier than
transferring a complex CAD model. Once the authorisation has
been obtained, the translation itself should never take more
than a few minutes
The service also gives total security. Since the model file
stays within the users own computer, there is no chance of
sensitive information being intercepted or mailed to an
incorrect address.
To test the new Cimatron translator in PS-Exchange, simply
download the software from the Delcam Web Site - <http://www.delcam.com/exchange/exchange.htm>
- and register your participation.
