SIGGRAPH 2006, Boston Convention & Exhibition Center (Booth #408) - August 1, 2006 - At SIGGRAPH 2006, SensAble Technologies, Inc.® is featuring the ClayTools™ system for digital content creation and fine arts, the FreeForm® Modeling™ system for product design, and haptic devices and SDKs for third-party development. At the core of SensAble™ products is the PHANTOM® line of haptic devices, which makes it possible for users to touch and manipulate virtual objects. This natural and direct way of working makes the SensAble systems easy to learn, and users typically become productive within a few days.
The ClayTools system delivers incredibly fast, unconstrained modeling and is ideal for sculptural modeling of complex, organic shapes for digital content creation and fine arts such as sculpture and portions of jewelry design. With ClayTools software and the PHANTOM® Omni™ device, users model with virtual clay and then smudge, smooth, carve, and tug to add details, blends, and textures that are challenging to achieve with traditional modeling tools. The ClayTools software works in combination with other design applications such as 3ds Max®, Maya®, and Rhino™, enabling users to expand the use of tools they may already have. At SIGGRAPH 2006, SensAble, JourneyEd (booth #2116), and Torcomp/Studica (booth #414) are offering the new ClayTools Education Bundle which includes the new, version 1.2 ClayTools software at tremendous cost savings to institutions, educators, and students. ClayTools demonstrations can also be seen at the Autodesk® User Group event on Monday, July 31 at the Westin Boston Waterfront hotel.
The FreeForm Modeling system provides 3D modeling with precision for product design. The system offers a fast and cost effective way for designers and modelers to create original models or modify and stylize scan data, and then output to RP systems for prototyping or milling. The system is ideal for modeling complex, highly-detailed, organic shapes for a variety of consumer products, and is also applicable for medical and dental modeling. A comprehensive set of modeling and detailing tools, dimensional control, import of polygon data for reference and modeling, and manufacturing-oriented features such as parting line evaluation are included in the system. At SIGGRAPH 2006, SensAble, Stratasys (booth #514) and Great Eastern Technology (booth #215) will be showing the FreeForm Modeling with PHANTOM Omni system, which was added to the FreeForm product line in May 2006.
PHANTOM haptic devices and the OpenHaptics™ SDK enable developers to add the sense of touch and true 3D navigation to their applications. Whether in simulation and robotics or touch-enabled training, the realistic sense of touch provides a compelling user experience. SensAble offers a broad range of haptic devices appropriate for use in commercial applications and attractive OEM pricing.
