SpaceClaim gets purchased?
SolidWorks Corp. and Autodesk appear to have no answer to Siemens/UGS Synchronous Technology. It looks to me like both companies were caught off guard by this announcement from Siemens/UGS. Perhaps SpaceClaim can help one of them have a better chance of not looking so stupid as this new approach to modeling takes hold.
Sorry to have to say I told you so SolidWorks Corp. but the FACT is that Siemens/UGS has a far better understanding of manufacturing than you do..
What happens if Siemens/UGS figures out how to really market UG CAM Express with SolidEdge with Synchronous Technology? As a Mastercam user I have no doubt that UG CAM Express can replace Mastercam in many machining job shops if it's marketed correctly.
