RAND Worldwide™ Introduces IMAGINiT Productivity Pack for Inventor
Users Reduce design time by 75% and redesign time by 95%
Mississauga, Canada - September 17, 2002 - IMAGINiT Technologies (“IMAGINiT”) announced today the release of new add-on software that enables users of Autodesk Inc.’s (“Autodesk”) Inventor software to dramatically improve both design time and accuracy. IMAGINiT, a division of Rand A Technology Corporation [TSX: RND], operating as RAND Worldwide, is the world’s only independent global Autodesk reseller. RAND Worldwide is one of the world’s leading providers of engineering services and technology to manufacturers looking to optimize their Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) processes.
IMAGINiT Productivity Pack for Inventor is the first tool to embed Mechanical Physics, Theory and Calculations into easy-to-use wizards that enables users to automatically create mechanically correct models simply by entering engineering or geometric data without requiring extensive CAD drafting abilities. This product is also both powerful and flexible enough that an accomplished engineer can also use it to solve extremely complex and advanced mechanical engineering, design and drafting problems. This knowledge-based solution is the first tool to bring geometric CAD up to the latest standard demanded by the marketplace. This new standard is known as “Knowledge Driven CAD”.
This add-on software, which lists for US$500, including the first year of maintenance, can also be upgraded to the more robust system, MechSoft for Inventor. Both MechSoft for Inventor and IMAGINiT Productivity Pack for Inventor were developed by MechSoft, Inc., an established member of the Autodesk Inventor Certification Program.
Users of IMAGINiT Productivity Pack for Inventor can design a more competitive product by improving design efficiency, reducing product over-build and improving the overall cost and time to market. A valuable set of wizards, including Bolted-Connection, an intelligent parts library containing more than one million parts, the Shaft Wizard and more, are seamlessly integrated into Autodesk Inventor.
RAND Worldwide is one of the world’s leading providers of engineering services and technology to manufacturers looking to optimize their Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) processes. Unlike traditional CAD/CAM/CAE/PDM technologies, PLM provides collaborative solutions to define and manage information throughout the complete product lifecycle and across the entire extended enterprise. PLM helps organize and facilitate secure access to product information by everyone who needs it - from those involved in initial product design to users in manufacturing, sales, marketing and maintenance, as well as business partners and suppliers. As the world’s only independent global engineering technology provider, RAND Worldwide employs 1,200 people in more than 100 international sales and client service centres. The Company’s corporate head office in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada can be reached at 905-625-2000 or through the Internet at www.rand.com.
