Original Press Release:
Anark Expands Format Support with Anark Core(TM) Platform 1.1
Newly added VRML, X3D, and Autodesk® DWFTM formats provide Anark Core customers with more options for design data exchange, collaboration, and visualization applications.
Boulder, CO. December 20, 2007: Anark Corporation today announced the latest release of the Anark Core(TM) Platform. Anark Core 1.1 provides several enhancements to the company's automated CAD data transformation software system, including direct support for three industry-leading 3D data-exchange and visualization formats: VRML, X3D, and Autodesk® DWF(TM).
The newly added formats expand upon a growing menu of industry-leading, high-precision and lightweight 3D CAD and visualization formats supported by Anark Core. VRML and X3D are recognized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as open 3D graphics formats for a wide array of data exchange and visualization applications.
The Autodesk DWF format was added to allow users to easily export transformed 3D CAD data from Anark Core for use within Autodesk Design Review and Freewheel(TM). Design Review is Autodesk's software to view, print, measure, mark up, and annotate 2D and 3D designs, and Freewheel is their free web service to view and share 2D and 3D designs.
Anark Core 1.1 also includes significant memory-performance enhancements, enabling larger CAD assemblies and parts to be transformed within Anark Core Workstation and Anark Core Server. This will aid manufacturers seeking to transform product design data for exchange, collaboration, and visualization processes, including technical publications.
"The Anark Core Platform has been well received by leading manufacturing companies that need to easily and cost-effectively transform and share relevant product data internally and throughout the OEM supply chain," commented Scott Collins, Anark's Senior Vice President of Product Development. "Core's expanded support for popular 3D visualization formats and improved performance extends its utility within critical collaboration, design-data-exchange, and visualization applications."
