What is 3D Sculptor?
3D Sculptor is a cloud-based CAD design role available to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This brings the power of sub-division modeling to the cloud, allowing you to complete your designs from all of your devices including mobile devices such as tablets and phones. The sub-division modeling technology brings you the power to create organic geometry with a push and pull environment allowing you to create complex geometry traditionally only possible with complex surface modeling. This modeling service is powered with the SOLIDWORKS xShape app. It is fully compatible with 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS, allowing you to design parts on the go and utilize those parts in your SOLIDWORKS assemblies.
Who is 3D Sculptor For?
The 3D Sculptor role provides you with subdivision modeling capabilities on the cloud. This allows you to create aesthetically pleasing organic shapes with ease from anywhere, on any device, as long as you have an internet connection. This role is especially useful for industrial designers or SOLIDWORKS users that have been limited by the surfacing capabilities in the past.
Job Positions That Could Use 3D Sculptor
CAD Designers, CAD Managers, Mechanical Engineers, Design Engineers, Industrial Designers and more.
Key Apps Included With 3D Sculptor
xShape
xShape is the only app included with the 3D Sculptor role. This app brings users all the subdivision capabilities described for the role, allowing you to create aesthetically pleasing organic models in a push/pull environment. It also includes tools to check the manufacturability of your design. As an x-app to 3DEXPERIENCE, it is accessible on cloud and pairs seamlessly with other design apps such as SOLIDWORKS and xDesign, as well as all other apps throughout the platform.
What Comes Next?
The 3D Sculptor role is great for creating organic geometry often needed for positions such as industrial design. 3D Creator is a role that allows you to carry out traditional parametric modeling from the cloud. If you have any CAD needs that extend beyond the capabilities of 3D Creator and 3D Sculptor, the 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS packages are suggested. These packages have the 3D Creator and 3D Sculptor included alongside 3DEXPERIENCE SOLIDWORKS which is the SOLIDWORKS you know and love but connected to the cloud with built in data management. The additional possibilities for roles are extensive. Contact us to learn about the many options for other design roles, simulation roles, rendering roles, and more.
