Industrial-Strength STEP-ACIS-STEP Data Translator Gets New Facade and Enhancements
Troy, New York - April 9, 2002 - STEP Tools, Inc., the forerunner in developing STEP and STEP-NC software solutions for the global marketplace, announced today it is now shipping ST-ACIS v 4.0. This industrial-strength translator comes with a brand new GUI interface and is fully optimized to prompt the user for its full range of data translation options. ST-ACIS was designed to build STEP (Standard for Product Data Exchange) to

manufacturing company who wants the most tested, robust STEP data translator in the marketplace. STEP Tools' integrated suite of software tools and libraries cover every aspect of STEP implementation and drastically minimize the effort needed to move
applications and databases into compliance with ISO 10303 STEP and other standards that use EXPRESS information models.
New ST-ACIS Library
STEP Tools also offers the newly updated ST-ACIS Library, an add-on product for ST-Developer, which provides C++ programming and desktop tools for the bi-directional translation of STEP geometry to/from ACIS-SAT model geometry/topology. Programmers can build their own STEP-ACIS data translator for a fraction of what it would cost to write all the code from scratch.
Custom Online Translation Services For The Enterprise Intranet or Extranet
STEP Tools will also develop custom versions of online data translation services for enterprise Intranets and Extranets. With this type of service, manufacturers and design firms receiving CAD data from a variety of sources can readily leverage the Internet to solve interoperability issues, and provide on-demand translators to the desktops of company employees, suppliers, and subcontractors.
