SpaceClaim file extensions

SpaceClaim is the world’s fastest and most innovative 3D solid modeler. It gives engineers and industrial designers the freedom and flexibility to capture ideas easily, directly edit solid models regardless of their origin, and simplify designs in 3D for analysis, prototyping, and manufacturing. 

SpaceClaim lets extended design and engineering teams work concurrently, finish projects at a fraction of the cost, and accelerate time-to-market. With SpaceClaim 3D design software, you can edit 3D designs based on your intent, regardless of how the model was created, and experiment freely with design concepts, unrestricted by complex parameters and restraints. 

Intuitive tools such as Pull and Move let you directly select portions of the model and put them where you want. The Combine tool divides parts into pieces and lets you merge in portions of other designs. The Fill tool cleans up small features and fills holes. Take designs where you want them to go without worrying about how to get there.

Using SpaceClaim 3D Direct Modeling drives innovation and improves collaboration. While feature-based CAD products are very powerful for detailed design work, they are not appropriate for conceptual design, engineering analysis, and simulation-driven design. SpaceClaim is easy to learn and use, cost effective, and very accurate, enabling 3D conceptual design by everyone and driving improved innovation and collaboration.

The product’s open file format and data exchange capabilities makes it easy for people to share designs and ensure that they fit within the existing development process. SpaceClaim supports common formats ACIS, STEP, IGES, ECAD, Rhinoceros, CGR, DWG, DXF, STL, OBJ, XAML, VRML, and 3D PDF (requires Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Extended). Many SpaceClaim customers use KeyShot from Luxion, available from SpaceClaim and tightly integrated into the SpaceClaim envinronment, for rendering as well.
