Surface Tools... What's Really Needed

Too bad you've never seen it then, right?

 

But you are more than happy to pose, right?

As long as you don't use it or know much about it.

Unlike you .....

Unlike you .....

Unlike you .....
Who told you about all of this? LOL ....

 

Because you don't have a clue?

 

Thanks Jon,
I'll have to dig up my CD and see whats on it. The main manual you get
is pretty intensive.... We'll check out the one(s) on the CD.
Thanks again,
Chris L

 

Feel free to e-mail me if you can't find it, Chris. ;>)

The $50 is money well spent.

For those who want to understand the basics of creating quality
curves and surfaces I would highly recommend reading Rhino Level
Two training.

How would you know?

When are you going to?

 

They told me:
ThinkiD $18k
ThinkDesign $4k
ThinkDesign Plus $6k
plus 15% per year for maintenance

 

~3,000 per year an top of all of that or it just
stops working, making all your saved parts totally
useless?

No CAM capabilities at all? Much less full
5 axes ...?

Any applications programming or is that extra as
well, if even available (is it?)?

LMAO !!! Clueless Buzzword King strikes again.

 

Are you currently using thinkID or thinkDesign ?

What do you think of Global Shape Modeling ?

Cliff,

spent 3 hours with the VX demo guy this morning. We went over only the
surfacing and mold cavity capabilities. Cool program.

As a note, for ThinkiD and ThinkDesign, once you buy it, you don't have
to keep on paying maintenance for it to still work. They changed their
model to be like everyone elses CAD software.

 

uhm... i don't use icem software, but since it's that famous and
well-known, i guess they'll hardly well me their .com domain...

have a good day

 

LOL

Perhaps it's time for your company to change to ICEM Surf so your
material handling equipment won't look so box like and will have really
slick curves ?

I checked out your website :

http://www.icem.it/en/en_prod_intro.html

It looks like an American car from the 70's ! :>)

If you can't cope with ICEM sharing your name then I have just the
thing for you, Gianni....

I say time to make the switch to VX..... NOW before it's to late !!! ;>)

On a serious note.... I understand thinkDesign is very big in
Italy. Have you seen thinkID / thinkDesign ?

FACTS don't get in the way of "The Virus's" agenda. :>)

"The Virus" even had it wrong about not being able to open parts /
assemblies designed in thinkDesign / thinkID under the old sales
model where you had to renew every year.

You could still open them you just could not make changes.

Heard of a new demo, did you?

Reread some of the posts from *actual users* in
years gone by.

LOL ...

 

well, actually it's a matter of costs and robustness/toughness more
than ability to design something looking beautiful. if we produced
coaches/buses --like officine padane or neoplan or setra or whoever
else--, it would be far easier: those products are 300k+ euros each
and nice designs are more compatible with very expensive products than
with cheap ones.
in our market --electronic pallet trucks, stackers, vert./horiz. order
pickers and so on-- you often loose a selling for 30/50 euros and
producing "nice" products is hardly compatible with low costs.
what is more, we're specialized in producing customized products
--longer or shorter, wider or narrower, thicker or thinner forks, wide
or narrow bodies, high capacity (up to 10 tons)-- and since we often
produce unique machines it would be impossible to adopt nice
covers/bodies.

and we cannot even use plastic covers/parts, because if you buy a
toyota or linde pallet truck and you break a plastic cover every 2
weeks, you pay for the spare part and are happy with it. if you buy an
icem pallet truck and you break a plastic cover after 6 months, i
receive a letter from your lawyer

oh, i *love* american --muscle-- cars from late 60's / early 70's

but, joking apart, my products must be, first of all, functional,
reliable, robust and, as much as possible, cheap. i'd love to move to
beautyful looking bodies, but they're so expensive that we cannot
afford them.

i'll do my best to improve our products design

and one more --and last-- thing: at the moment the website isn't very
nice, but it's temporary, we're working on the new one.

i've never heard of it, but i stopped reading/following the cad/addons
market in late 1998, when we started using swx. it may be very popular
nowadays, but at that time i can't remember of it.

cheers!
