INOVATE –
The Fastest and
Easiest Way to Conceptualize in 3D
 INOVATE™
is a low cost, easy to use 3D desktop product for creating,
modifying, interrogating and communicating 3D designs. It is the
ideal 3D design collaboration tool from concept to production. Its
radical drag-and-drop 3D environment delivers unmatched ease-of-use,
speed, design flexibility and power making it the most productive 3D
concept design and communication tool available. INOVATE bridges the
gap between today's viewer technology and a full blown CAD seat. It
is perfectly suited for situations where 3D design concepts have to
be verified prior to being committed to a formal detail design
process. It allows the quick exploration of 3D design concepts and
the communication of those ideas through photo-realistic images and
realistic motion animations as part of the collaborative process.
INOVATE is equally at home
working with existing models which can be imported, interrogated,
modified and communicated to others either as models,
photo-realistic images or real world animations. INOVATE is the most
complete way to collaborate in 3D.

“Because
IRONCAD and INOVATE are so quick to learn, everyone in the
design chain can use them and be productive immediately.”

Andersson, STIK AB |
EASE-OF-USE
Whether you are working with models,
creating a rendering or doing an animation, the same basic concepts
of drag and drop, right mouse property access and handles are
utilized throughout, making INOVATE the easiest and most cost
effective 3D design tool available. It is based on the same award
winning user interface technology as IRONCAD. Its user interface has
been designed to allow members of the extended design chain to
productively participate in the design realization process.
Model concepts can be created by
simply dragging intelligent 3D features (IntelliShapes™) from
pre-built catalogs and dropping them into a scene or onto an
existing part. Modifications can be accomplished by simply pulling
on dynamic handles, or through property pages, accessed through a
simple right mouse click. IntelliShapes are designed for maximum
flexibility and can be fully parameterized. This revolutionary
Creative Design approach is The Fastest and Easiest Way to
Conceptualize in 3D.
DESIGN
CONCEPTUALIZATION
From concept, through detail design,
to unpredictable pre/post production changes, INOVATE is the first
new modelling architecture that can effectively be used throughout a
products entire product life cycle. It is a product that allows true
Creative Design at each stage of the product development process.
Creative Design allows design intent
to be applied when it is best for the user, with the added freedom
to make unanticipated changes at any time during the design process.
It is the only 3D modelling system available that allows the user to
select, based on need, between using a constraint history based
design method or a no constraint, no history based design approach.
INOVATE allows casual users to design
fast and effectively without concerning themselves with constraints,
parametrics and feature trees mandated by today’s leading systems.
Power users can use all of these advanced features and more to
create highly intelligent models.
DESIGN VISUALIZATION
| The integration of powerful,
high-end visualization and animation technologies into the
core of INOVATE makes the entire design process faster, more
productive, and easier to understand.
Real-time detail representations
such as texture, bump, and decal mapping are fully
integrated to save time and valuable data space. Effective
communication to all contributors, at every phase, enhances
collaboration and speeds the product development process. |

In addition to the visual realism,
INOVATE allows models to be set in motion with the addition of
SmartMotions™. SmartMotions are pre-created drag and drop key frame
animations with editable paths providing truly realistic motion.
Once created, the animations can be shared with others as animated
GIF or AVI files.
DESIGN COMMUNICATION
The design visualization,
collaboration features and ease-of-use makes INOVATE the perfect
tool for Engineering, Marketing, Sales and Training to illustrate
and communicate product features either through the use of
animations or through directly importing 3D design models into
marketing and sales brochures. This versatile use model of INOVATE
takes 3D models beyond the engineering design community.
| INOVATE
supports a rich set of data translators (IGES, STEP, ACIS,
Parasolid, CATIA, Pro/E, STL, more……) that allow it to
exchange data with all of the leading CAD systems. Once in
INOVATE, the user can FULLY edit the model data (not just a
subset of recognized features) enabling true upstream and
downstream design collaboration. This makes it the perfect
companion tool to your existing CAD tools.
INOVATE allows engineers to
confidently exchange and make use of 3D CAD data throughout
the design process, as well as enabling users to share parts
or assemblies throughout the design process. INOVATE
supports the creation of custom catalogs such as families of
standard parts, which dramatically improves design
productivity and facilitates the easy transfer of critical
design data between design chain participants.
COST
EFFECTIVENESS
INOVATE is the most
competitively priced 3D concept design product on the market
today. This aggressive pricing makes it possible to deploy
INOVATE across the whole design chain.

| “The advanced
visualization functionalities of INOVATE are
very useful when presenting a design to a customer.
With INOVATE I can show the customer an exact
rendering of the final product. This is crucial when
presenting designs to potential customers before
prototypes are available.” |
