Transmagic Makes 3d Designs Accessible

Transmagic has released Transmagic R8, which includes an Auto Repair Wizard, new-look graphical interface, increased processing speed, assembly hierarchy support and updated CAD-version support.

The Auto Repair Wizard analyses and validates the quality of 3D geometry and offers single-click best practice options to repair the model. The wizard guides the user through simple steps to ensure the best-quality results from any model translation. Transmagic R8 utilises assembly structures and hierarchy for rapid viewing, selecting or exporting individual part models or whole sub-assemblies. Increased productivity and smaller file size are accomplished with new file pre-processing, which identifies multiple instances of the same part. In models containing more than one instance of the same part, the part is only translated once then reused as needed within the assembly, providing smaller file sizes, shorter translation times and better efficiency when working with large assemblies. To provide 3D data-exchange options for more applications, Transmagic has added new output-formats, including binary STL and OBJ files. Binary STL files can provide a 10x file-size reduction over Ascii STL files. OBJ files can transfer models into popular products such as Autodesk Aliasstudio, Maya and 3DS Max. Transmagic R8 combines plant-design models with metadata exported from PDMS for use in CAD or PLM systems.
