latest version of the world’s leading 3D CAD healing and repair software is now available
Milford, OH, October 2, 2009 – ITI TranscenData announced today the release of CADfix 8.0, the latest edition
of its leading CAD interoperability tool which tackles the ever present problems of 3D model data exchange and
re-use between different engineering applications. CADfix allows the user to import CAD data, efficiently repair
and adapt it, and export in the most suitable form for reuse in the downstream system, eliminating the need for
expensive CAD model rework.
The release of CADfix 8.0 sees many new developments and consolidates the incremental service pack
functionality that has been released over the last year. Some of the many enhancements include:
• Shrink Wrap STL Generator
Creates watertight representations of parts or assemblies with the ability to suppress gaps and surface details
smaller than user controlled size. Designed with multi-core support for maximum performance.
• Imprinting tools
Tools for detecting and imprinting the contact regions between touching solids, including advanced handling of
cyclic symmetry
• Native 64-Bit Version for Windows & Linux
Enables the import, processing and export of massive models previously beyond the 32bit limits
• Automatic sliver face and sharp angle fixing
Detects and eliminates these geometry conditions that often cause meshing problems in CAE applications
Additional enhancements include:
• Advanced STL Processing Tools, including quality checks and decimation
• Ability to handle very large CAD models and assemblies without entity limit
• Ability to Import & Merge models into an open (live) session
• New tool to find and rejoin fragmented NURBS surfaces (CATIA V4 to V5 migration issue)
• Enhanced Feature Deletion – allows processing of higher complexity features
"As engineers and designers continue to increase the complexity of their CAD models and assemblies, the need
for efficient repair, simplification and export is becoming increasingly more important. With our latest enhancements
and new features, CADfix 8.0 rises to the challenge facing today’s engineers and provides them with effective,
innovative and invaluable tools to enable them to complete their tasks within their ever shortening time constraints",
said Mark Gammon, CADfix Product Manager. “Many of these latest features have been developed through our
close working relationship with our customers. This approach allows us to listen closely to the real problems and
ensures that our efforts deliver the functionality they need.”
The new product release is available immediately worldwide and current CADfix customers can easily upgrade
to version 8.0.
