SolidWorks and 3Dlabs work together through the SolidWorks Partner Program, which features products, and services that complement SolidWorks' software. Under this program SolidWorks has tested the Wildcat graphics accelerators to ensure the combination of SolidWorks software and 3Dlabs hardware creates a high-quality platform for demanding CAD designers everywhere.
Engineers and CAD designers who use 3Dlabs Wildcat4 and Wildcat VP solutions in combination with SolidWorks 2001 Plus and 2003 3D CAD software packages save valuable production time on projects. 3Dlabs and SolidWorks also provide seamless ISV support to 3D CAD engineers and designers, allowing them to maximize their real-world productivity.
"Production speed and graphics quality are crucial to 3D solid modeling, and 3Dlabs Wildcat4 7110 and Wildcat VP products make the process easy," said Brian Houle, partner program manager for SolidWorks. "Enabling engineers to access the Wildcat4 and Wildcat VP products via SolidWorks helps them work more efficiently and accelerate product delivery."
"The unsurpassed graphics quality of the 3Dlabs Wildcat family, combined with the outstanding functionality of SolidWorks software provides design professionals with a compelling set of tools to complete complex CAD projects on time and on budget," said Jerry Peterson, executive vice president and general manager of 3Dlabs workstation division. "Wildcat workstation graphics accelerators are uniquely designed with specific needs of the design professional in mind - creating a reliable, high-quality platform for 3D CAD designers."
