Revware Announces RevWorks 8.0, 1 in a Series

By DE Editors

Revware, Inc. (San Diego, CA), developers of RevWorks CAD-Driven Reverse Engineering (CADDRE) software and a SolidWorks Gold Partner, announced the pending release of RevWorks 8.0 — which will be available mid-March for $6995.

RevWorks integrates data captured from existing parts with leading 3D digitizers with SolidWorks computer-aided design (CAD) software. The nFew RevWorks software will ship mid-March and feature an updated user interface, new part stacking and alignment capabilities, and support for Metris Manual Coordinate measuring Arms (MCAs).

RevWorks' new user interface uses SolidWorks' CommandManager interface and feature one-click alignment changes. Version 8.0 offers more immediate and interactive access to RevWorks' feature configuration while preserving the enhanced workflow security of the RevWorks server architecture. The updated Alignment ManagerT tool enables users to align digitized parts to any SolidWorks plane. Similar software offerings only allow alignment to three planes. Also added to Alignment Manager is a new part stacking function that creates multiple, reproducible part alignments that users can freely switch between during a digitizing session.

With RevWorks, users can more quickly and closely capture design intent from existing parts that have no native CAD data. Using 3D contact digitizers allows users to capture only the data they need without having to sort through complex point cloud data, including open spaces that 3D scanners cannot process. Those selected data points and resulting geometry are immediately displayed within the working SolidWorks model.
