Design's IPA v8.0 Provides Support For
SolidWorks® 2005
Generate Interactive 3D Assembly Procedures, Maintenance Manuals,
and Parts Catalogs
Acton, MA - July
26, 2004 - Immersive Design, Inc. today announced that its flagship
product, IPA v8.0, supports SolidWorks 2005 3D mechanical design software.
Manufacturing companies use IPA and SolidWorks for quick and easy generation
of their product documentation reducing costs and getting their products
to
market faster. The
use of interactive 3D procedures can dramatically cut down misunderstanding,
miscommunication, and mistakes compared to a stack of static 2D drawings
used for instructions.
"SolidWorks
has a rapidly growing customer base with thousands of products designs
created every day," said Brian Houle, Partner Program manager
for SolidWorks. "The SolidWorks network effect is readily shown
in IPA generated interactive product documentation by leveraging SolidWorks
data throughout a company. As an original SolidWorks Solution Partner
and the initial developer of the SolidWorks Animator, Immersive Design
has once again helped deliver a total SolidWorks solution for manufacturing
companies."
"For manufacturing companies with the need to generate assembly
procedures, service documentation or parts catalogs, the new functionality
found in SolidWorks 2005 increases the ability for IPA users to quickly
and easily generate interactive 3D product documentation. By leveraging
the information already in the SolidWorks 2005 assemblies, procedures
that used to take days can now be created in minutes," said Gregory
Smith, CEO of Immersive Design. "The quality of the latest SolidWorks
release definitely shows why SolidWorks leads the market for mainstream
3D mechanical design software."
