Technical Illustrations

A new integration to Arbortext IsoDraw helps companies automate the process of creating and updating high-quality technical illustrations and animations. Now you'll be able to use original 2D and 3D data from CoCreate to deliver technical illustrations and intelligent graphics to assembly instructions, parts catalogs, operator and service manuals, training documents, and more. With CoCreate Modeling 16.5, export a native ProductView .pvz file that's directly readable by Arbortext IsoDraw, including the full product assembly structure, which is fully accessible in IsoDraw.

High-Speed Machining for Rapid Prototyping and Mold/Dies

With Pro/TOOLMAKER, you now have a solution for high-speed machining for Rapid Prototyping and Mold/Die machining. Pro/TOOLMAKER delivers unprecedented ease of use and automation for efficient tool path creation. With CoCreate Modeling 16.5, a push button integration saves model geometry in a Granite format, starts Pro/TOOLMAKER, and loads the geometry. If changes to the geometry arise in CoCreate Modeling, the updated geometry can be loaded into Pro/TOOLMAKER, where the tool paths are automatically updated.
