Releases Four New Free RP Plug-ins
Panaji - 24th September, 2008 - SYCODE releases four new free
RP plug-ins as part of the OpenRP Initiative.
"Judging by the number of downloads of the free OpenRP software,
it would be fair to say that the RP file format is being widely adopted
across the RP industry", says Deelip Menezes, Founder
and CEO of SYCODE and Founder of the OpenRP Initiative. "Over
the past four years, among other things, customers have requested RP
plug-ins for CAD systems other than AutoCAD, SolidWorks and Rhinoceros.
These four new RP export plug-ins are the result of those requests".
SYCODE has developed RP export plug-ins for Inventor, Solid Edge,
SpaceClaim and Alibre Design. Moreover, the existing RP plug-ins have
been updated to support newer versions of CAD systems. RP Export for
AutoCAD now supports AutoCAD 2000 through to AutoCAD 2009 (32 and 64
Bit). RP Export for SolidWorks works with all versions of
SolidWorks from 2001 through to 2008 (32 Bit and 64 Bit). RP Export
for Rhino also supports Rhinoceros 4.0. SYCODE reiterates its
continued support to the OpenRP Initiative and is currently developing
RP plug-ins for other CAD systems.
The free software offered by SYCODE under the OpenRP Initiative is
designed to help the RP industry overcome the limitations of the STL
file format - large file size and zero security. Using this software CAD
software developers can add RP file support to their CAD systems, end
users can exchange their designs quickly and securely and service
bureaus can accept RP files from end users to quote and build
prototypes.
All the software offered under the OpenRP Intiative was, is and always
be free of cost. SYCODE also provides free support for all the software
it offers under the OpenRP Initiative. "There have been other
attempts to solve the problems associated with the STL file format, but
all have been made by companies with monopolistic strategies aimed at
deriving financial benefit or increasing market share," explains
Deelip Menezes, "Some problems need solutions that require time and
resources to be spent without getting any financial benefit. Developing
, maintaining and offering support for all this software does takes up
our time and resources. But we realize that someone's got to do it. And
currently we are doing it".
