Revware releases RevWorks 8.0 reverse engineering software

January 28, 2008

Revware Inc. is releasing Version 8.0 of its CAD-driven reverse engineering software, RevWorks 8.0 (to be previewed at SolidWorks World 2008), into the marketplace in March. The software integrates data captured from existing parts (with leading 3-D digitizers) with SolidWorks CAD software, and it will feature an updated user interface, new part stacking and alignment capabilities and support for Metris Manual Coordinate measuring Arms (MCAs).

RevWorks’ new user interface utilizes SolidWorks’ CommandManager interface and features one-click alignment changes. The updated Alignment Manager tool enables users to align digitized parts to any SolidWorks plane. Also added to Alignment Manager is a new part stacking function that creates multiple, reproducible part alignments that users can freely switch between during a digitizing session.

With RevWorks, users can quickly and closely capture design intent from existing parts that have no native CAD data. Using 3-D contact digitizers allows users to capture only the data they need without having to sort through complex point cloud data, including open spaces that 3-D scanners cannot process. Those selected data points and resulting geometry are immediately displayed within the working SolidWorks model.
