When you think of modeling, you may think of features used when creating 3D geometry… or you may think of your days as a elbow model for L.L. Bean. You sexy beast. Either way, there’s a process and a need for both. In the case of 3D modeling, the process is dependent on what you…

Here’s where it happens. Where the surly bonds of history-based design slip off into a miry pool of sketch-driven constraints. Ker-plunk. Yes, watch them sink… down, down, down. It pains one who has built models feature-upon-feature to see the control, the order, give its last fleeting breath. As it happens though, Siemens hasn’t quite let…

Last week, Siemens launched what is very well the most feature-busting update to the Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology craze thus far. It’s Solid Edge ST3. I’ve not been able to get inside it yet, so I’m holding off on a proper review till I do. In the meantime, I went to Siemens with some…

I’m looking upon the screen, at a presentation of Solid Edge ST3 at this very moment. The 3rd amalgamation of history-free and history-based design wrapped up in a simple phrase you comfort your children with, Synchronous Technology. I’m seeing it, but I can’t say anything about it. The pushing, the pulling, the Live Rules… taunting…
