Planit Solutions, Inc. has licensed and integration of two D-Cubed software components from Siemens PLM Software into Planit’s Cabinet Vision products.

Planit is using the D-Cubed 2D Dimensional Constraint Manager (2D DCM) and the D-Cubed Profile Geometry Manager (PGM), in the core geometry engine that serves as the foundation of its Cabinet Vision product line. The 2D DCM powers the 2D parametric design functionality in a range of CAD, CAM and CAE products. The PGM can extend the capabilities of a 2D DCM integration by generating 2D offset profiles and by supporting a range of profile based constraints, such as area and perimeter length, all integrated with the 2D DCM’s geometric constraint solving when required.

“Within the Planit Group we have used the D-Cubed components in our EdgeCAM, AlphaCAM and Radan product lines to great effect over many years, so we are confident of the high standard of product quality and technical support from Siemens PLM Software,” says Russell Franks, chief technical officer of Planit. “The complementary functionality provided by the D-Cubed PGM was further justification for selecting the 2D DCM. No other option offered such a complete package of technology and quality, backed by the confidence derived from such a long and successful business relationship.”
