SpaceClaim 3D Modeling Software Solves Geometry Problems Fast.

At SpaceClaim, they believe that technology should work for you, not the other way around. Technology should make your job easier, not more complicated.

SpaceClaim enables anyone to create, edit, or repair geometry without worrying about underlying technology. With SpaceClaim, working with 3D modeling software becomes fast, easy, flexible, and rewarding, no matter where in the workflow you need it.

Users of SpaceClaim can:

    • Edit, repair, and create any geometry – without worrying about where the file comes from
    • Increase productivity by removing the CAD bottleneck in your workflow
    • Manipulate geometry faster, easier, and more intuitively resulting in less time spent struggling with geometry and more time dedicated to primary job functions such as manufacturing, analysis, and concept modeling.

Reverse Engineering

SpaceClaim offers intuitive tools that are perfect for reverse engineering. With SpaceClaim, STL files and solids can be easily altered to recreate perfect models for parts and fixtures. Users can even start with 2D models. Imperfect data from worn components or a dirty scan can be quickly corrected.

For reverse engineering, SpaceClaim is unmatched in terms of power, ease of use, and flexibility.

Design the way you think

Our vision from the beginning was to bring 3D to everyone by providing a simple, fast, flexible design tool.  We believe a 3D tool should be so simple, anyone can learn it quickly and have fun while doing so.

Imagine, design, make, and realize your ideas, faster with SpaceClaim

3D Printing Software and Prototyping

SpaceClaim’s intuitive interface allows users to create, edit, and prepare models for 3D printing faster and more efficiently than before. With a new module, we upgraded functionality to allow users to work directly with STL files as well as leverage automated many prep tools for 3D printing applications.

Jig and Fixture Design | Prep for Manufacturing

SpaceClaim enables manufacturing engineers and machinists the flexibility to work with any CAD data to edit and prepare models for manufacturing. No other tool is faster to use and does a better job editing geometry, cleaning up corrupt or difficult CAD data, and quickly designing jigs and fixtures. SpaceClaim is the only solution on the market today that helps machinists complete jobs quickly while minimizing downtime on the shop floor.

SpaceClaim for Modeling and Simulation

SpaceClaim provides CAE analysts the easiest and fastest tools possible to get geometry ready for simulation. Whether de-featuring CAD geometry, modeling for simulation, or optimizing existing models, SpaceClaim removes the geometry bottleneck, thus freeing engineers to focus on the physics and modeling. By putting simulation users in control of geometry, CAE can drive product development by optimizing models before CAD and validating results post-CAD.

Challenges Between Modeling and Simulation

Traditional CAD software, designed for manufacturing documentation, is not optimized for CAE experts.  Before SpaceClaim, CAE users were forced to use CAD tools designed for CAD specialists or ask the CAD team to create or simplify models for them. The result: wasted time and energy. All too often, engineers wouldn’t be able to perform simulation until after the detailed models were complete, causing unnecessary compromises and time-consuming changes late in the process.
