NEW COMPUNIX SOFTWARE IMPROVES IGES-TO-STL TRANSLATION QUALITY

October 1, 1995 -- Compunix, Inc. will demonstrate its new Rapid
Prototyping enabling translation software, IGES/STL, at tho AUTOFACT '95
conference in Chicago, November 14-16. The IGES/STL product provides
bidirectional translation solutions between IGES and STL data formats.

Many incoming STL files can not be used with Rapid Prototyping machines
because of poor quality. Use of IGES/STL improves the quality of data
translation through intelligent repair of data such as gaps between
adjoining surfaces, warped surfaces, incorrect surface normals, etc. These
are common but critical problems when data is translated to the STL
format. 

The IGES/STL bidirectional capability moves data between STL and IGES, and
then back to IGES with the problems resolved, thus providing STL-to-STL
flavoring. The IGES/STL software supports all IGES surfaces including
trimmed surfaces. 

Compunix will also demonstrate IGES/CATpc and CIMView+ at the AUTOFACT
conference. IGES/CATpc supports easy and quick bidirectional transfer of
CAD data entities from the IGES format to the native CATIA format, and
back to IGES again. CIMView+ is a complimentary product to IGES/CATpc. It
enables graphical viewing and markup of native CATIA files without a CATIA
license.

Both IGES/CATpc and CIMView+ support CATIA V3.x and V4.x data files. The
IGES/CATpc software supports translation to and from IGES 5.1 files. 

All Compunix software is available on Microsoft WINDOWS and MS-DOS systems.
Ports to UNIX systems can be arranged on request.

Compunix, Inc. is a trading developer and supplier of CAD data exchange
enabling software. Founded in 1989, Compunix offers a full suite of
software tools that enable users to resolve translation problems between
dissimilar CAD/CAM systems. Compunix products also provide engineering
organizations with the ability to automate and customize the translation
process.
