3Dconnexion 3D Mice Enhance New Design Experience in SolidWorks 2010

By DE Editors

3Dconnexion’s full line of 3D mice, including the SpacePilot PRO flagship 3D mouse, now supports SolidWorks 2010, the newest version of the 3D CAD software.

Using 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice within SolidWorks 2010 allows professionals to navigate around their designs more intuitively, according to the company, further enhancing the speed improvements made to rendering,  loading parts, and large assemblies in the new 3D workspace. In addition, 3D mice enable engineers working in SolidWorks 2010 to view designs from multiple angles, helping to detect errors earlier in the design process.

“3Dconnexion is committed to improving and enhancing the productivity of 3D design work, and the core design functions that have been implemented into SolidWorks 2010 echo that goal,” said Dieter Neujahr,  president of 3Dconnexion. “SolidWorks 2010 paired with 3Dconnexion 3D mice provides today’s engineers a very powerful 3D design solution focused on efficiency and design performance—critical elements in bringing competitive products to market as quickly as possible.”

3Dconnexion has also announced a promotion this month that lowers the cost of the SpacePilot PRO 3D mouse from $399 to $299.
