- Ionic Capital

Wassmer Studios, L.L.C.
This is an ionic capital and column modeled similar to those at the Temple of Erechtheus on the Acropolis in Athens.
The entire part was modeled as components in VX. The palmetto design around the “neck” was scanned into a point cloud and surfaced in VX then exported to IGES.
Each part is being machined and assembled to make a complete wooden pattern.
From that we will create rubber molds for cast stone parts.

- VX Import

VX
VX CAD/CAM software supports direct import of Parasolid® -based files as well as Pro/E® and CATIA® files for operating in today's multi-vendor environments. The STEP and IGES interfaces in VX have also been enhanced to identify a larger amount of “smart geometry” created in other CAD systems. In the example shown here, a file imported through IGES has converted a large number of free-form IGES surface entities to completely recreate an imported solid model.

VX
VX is the first mid-priced CAD/CAM system to offer both automated and manual inspection and repair of inaccurate geometry that often occurs when translating files from one CAD system to another. With the new VX healing functions, a user has the choice of automatically healing an imported file or stepping through a case by case examination of each trouble spot. Trouble spots are highlighted in red as shown in the wireframe model. For emphasis, yellow arrows have been added and the inset shows the healed component.
