It's time for SpaceClaim to achieve the success they deserve. SpaceClaim has
removed the ridiculous licensing restrictions and is now selling SpaceClaim for
a very reasonable price.

Wait for it. This gets better ... LOL ....

What SpaceClaim badly needs is a CAM system running inside of it!
] - jon banquer
[
The machining job shop market and manufacturers are slowly starting to demand
fully integrated solutions like HSMWorks, CAMWorks and SolidCAM all of which run
inside of SolidWorks. It's only a matter of time before Gibbscam, Mastercam and
Surfcam customers throw in the towel and demand integrated solutions like those
I just mentioned.
] - jon banquer
A third party add-on is a "fully integrated" CAD/CAM system? LOL ...
[
While it's true that I'm a SolidWorks user I know that SolidWorks should not be
the only viable and popular integrated CADCAM solution.
] - jon banquer
Because you are not an actual user & it's a CAD system?

Their November 15th press release, like the ones before, described SpaceClaim as
"a breakthrough CAD-neutral modification solution that enhances engineers’
productivity by empowering them to contribute to, consume, and share mechanical
designs in a 3D digital form." This is in line with their original marketing
strategy of portraying their software as a "modification" tool.
In their November 27th press release they replaced the word "modification" with
"design". And in yesterday's press release they added the word "create". So now
it reads, "SpaceClaim provides a breakthrough 3D design solution that enhances
engineers’ productivity by empowering them to create, contribute to, and share
mechanical designs in a 3D digital form".

Deelip Menezes has developed buzzword psychosis too I think. But it's a hoot
IF you think about it.
[
The only thing missing is that SpaceClaim needs a CAM system to run inside of it
that does things the SpaceClaim way. Machining job shops and manufacturers are
starting to demand more and want integrated systems not two separate systems
with all the hassles that go along with maintaining two separate systems.
Porting existing popular CAM systems like Gibbscam, Mastercam, Surfcam, etc. to
SpaceClaim will never work for several reasons. First, these systems fail at the
basics of toolpath control and allowing the user to easily make changes to
numerous machining parameters.
] - jon banquer
Such as by having a clue how to use them & what they are doing?
[
Second, you can't shoehorn a legacy code UI CAM program into a state of the art
program like SpaceClaim.
] - jon banquer
He wants VIDEOS !!!
[
SpaceClaim badly needs to find a CAM vendor willing to create a CAM program for
SpaceClaim from scratch.
] - jon banquer
Too bad about the User Interface, eh?
Perhaps somebody might someday tell him about CAD/CAM systems.
Or that CAM programmers are supposed to know what they are doing.
Or that he's repeatng EXACTLY the same confused misinformation
so many have corrected him on so many times yet again.

"The CAD Modification Challenge has begun."
Latest & greatest ad: "CAD Modification".
[
SpaceClaim provides a complementary 3D design solution that enables you to more
quickly originate concepts, re-use and modify mechanical designs.
]
OOPS ... You ALSO actually need a real CAD system .. this thing is just
"complementary" to it, sort of like a mark-up package.
[
Complementary 3D – SpaceClaim Professional 2007+ complements the use of your
company's CAD/CAM/CAE systems, leveraging the benefits 3D CAD models ..

I guess jb missed those blurbs in the ad <VBG>.
[
Open – SpaceClaim Professional 2007+ ensures full and continued access to
product data through its open XML data format.

Has jb's long awaited XML kernel?

Goodie !!
A press release for poor clueless to drool on.

SpaceClaim Corp. is pleased to announce a perpetual licensing option for its
acclaimed 3D design system SpaceClaim Professional 2007+. The product is now
available as either a low cost of entry annual lease or as a perpetual license
for customers whose budget is more suited to a capital purchase. Additionally,
the company is offering promotional pricing through December 31, 2007. The
special pricing is 50% of the list price for most of the SpaceClaim product
line. Included in the price promotion are the annual lease and perpetual license
options for SpaceClaim Professional 2007+,
]
50% off til December 31, 2007 ... they must need cash badly, eh? No
market & not selling?
Perhaps the folks with the parts to modify already have CAD or CAD/CAM
systems? Or noticed that it's probably not very backwards compatible back
to the original system?
Now, we know clueless has basic math probems so ....
[
Promotional Pricing thru December 31, 2007 (US$)
Annual Licenses (1-yr term): SpaceClaim Professional 2007+ is $850/yr; 3D Data
Exchange is $150/yr
]
WARNING: FANCY MATH: $850 * 2 = $1,700
[
Perpetual Licenses: SpaceClaim Professional 2007+ is $1,275 plus $425 annual
maintenance for the first year; 3D Data Exchange is $225, plus $75 for first
year annual maintenance
]
WARNING: FANCY MATH: $1,275 + $425 = $1,700
No telling how much the third or later years might cost (if in business)
but as the other systems will have had upgrades & changes you'd need
a NEW UPDATED copy of this as well ....
[
Promotional pricing for additional modules is available on the SpaceClaim web
site.
]
Stripped-down version for the "sale", eh?
WARNING: FANCY MATH: $1,700 = $1,700
