ModuleWorks Bridge for Parasolid Released

By DE Editors

ModuleWorks, a supplier of CAD/CAM components for 3-5-axis toolpath generation and simulation,  and Siemens PLM Software have agreed to integrate the ModuleWorks software components with Siemens PLM Software’s Parasolid software.

By using the ModuleWorks Bridge for Parasolid, ModuleWorks, partners will be able to develop applications to directly read models from Parasolid 3D geometric modeling kernel technology.

The ModuleWorks Bridge for Parasolid allows client applications to read and query solid model topology and geometry and tessellate the model for toolpath generation and simulation without the need for translation or conversion to any other formats.

Product development on the bridge is now complete and it is available to licensees of Parasolid as part of the ModuleWorks 2010.6 component software release.
