3Dconnexion 3D Mice Now Supported by Autodesk Inventor 2011


Fremont, Calif. - April 15, 2010 - 3Dconnexion's line of 3D mice is now supported by Autodesk Inventor 2011 software, giving design engineers more intuitive control over their 3D models and the overall digital prototyping process.

Providing a level of design interaction that is unattainable with a traditional mouse and keyboard, 3Dconnexion 3D mice complement the enhanced design capabilities and specialized tools offered in the latest Inventor software suite. Conceptual design, engineering, and manufacturing professionals working in Inventor 2011 can navigate designs with a 3Dconnexion 3D mouse, allowing them to validate the form, fit, and function of a design before it is built, as if they were holding the digital model in their hand. This added control helps professionals accelerate design times and identify potential design flaws with greater ease.

3Dconnexion's 3D mice offer product development teams a range of design performance and productivity benefits for 3D mechanical design, product simulation, tooling creation, and design communication, including:

o Improved Control and Navigation allows users to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate models or simulations without stopping to select commands.

o Greater Productivity with customizable programmable buttons that provide quick access to commonly used commands.

o Advanced Design Performance by aiding in the detection of design flaws and enhancing design review, verification and presentation.

o Increased Comfort with traditional mouse clicks reduced by up to 50 percent.

The entire 3Dconnexion product line is compatible with these applications, including the Professional Series with the SpacePilot PRO (MSRP $399) and SpaceExplorer(TM) (MSRP $299), and the Standard Series with the SpaceNavigator (MSRP $99) and SpaceNavigator for Notebooks (MSRP $129).
