SpinFire Professional 8.0 is a digital design communication tool suitable for the automotive, high technology, aerospace, industrial automation, and discreet manufacturing industries. New features that enhance the digital design communication process include the ability to interact with product manufacturing information, a plug-in application program interface to create custom solutions, a new user interface, improved analysis capabilities, and an easier exploded assembly creation tool. The new features provide users with instant access to complete and accurate design data, reducing design errors, lowering operating costs, and shortening product development cycles. SpinFire Professional 8.0 is designed to make 2D and 3D CAD data more easily accessible to both technical and non-technical users. It provides powerful 2D and 3D CAD visualization capabilities, without requiring a native CAD system, in a secure and user-friendly 3D format. This enables access, communication, and distribution of multiple CAD formats throughout the enterprise and supply chain, allowing companies to realize cost savings and productivity gains in all facets of product design, procurement, quoting and estimating, manufacturing, sales, marketing, and support. Features of SpinFire Professional 8.0 include an expanded exploded animation capability. These handle-based transformations allow for drag and drop user-view creation and animations. The new application program interface allows third-party developers and end users to create plug-in applications to leverage functions and technology within SpinFire Professional for customized uses and vertical industry applications. An intuitive user interface features a new layout, grouping, style, and logic of the application user interface similar to MSFT Office. Enhanced markup features for notes and dimensions added to a part or assembly, can be placed on a surface. Improved analysis capabilities for removing material and retaining material cross-section modes allow users to choose between a full cross-section view and a profile view. Complete part comparisons between an original model and a second version highlights added and/or removed material. The program allows for saved files to Intel’s U3D format for back-end archiving of design data in PDF format. SpinFire Professional 8.0 supports files created in any major CAD file format allowing users in the manufacturing industries and their supply chains to use a single software solution enabling them to view, measure, mark-up, and share all major 2D and 3D data formats without needing to purchase and maintain seats of native CAD systems. Pricing starts at $495.
