Press releaseIssued by TransMagic, Inc..

TransMagic, Inc., leading developer of easy-to-use, highly efficient and precise 3D multi-cad interoperability software, announces the release of MagicCheck R2, a 3D geometric data comparison application. MagicCheck R2 delivers new features including multi-body comparison, 3-point move positioning and dynamic dimensioning. MagicCheck's new assembly comparison and dimension features will allow suppliers to instantly find even the smallest model and assembly changes in new data sets. This feature dramatically improves the accuracy of quoting based on 3D CAD data and allows companies to easily document changes to downstream processes such as NC toolpaths and QA inspection plans. The user experience is also enhanced with optimized model import performance, multi-core processing technology and dockable browser panes.

Deployed at Neill Aircraft Company, Juan Castro, Systems Control Manager, states, “MagicCheck helped us immensely by concentrating the extraction and validation processes under one roof.” The MagicCheck R2 feature enhancements allow users greater control over 3D CAD data for more accurate and detailed comparison results. The multi-body compare capability enables advanced comparison of parts in multi-bodied assemblies. Now users can manipulate the alignment of parts anywhere in space using the new 3-point Move function for precise analysis. The dynamic dimensioning intuitively guides users to create professional level dimensions on any 3D part or assembly, enabling companies to produce more accurate quotes and share precise model query data amongst teams.

Built on the TransMagic multi-CAD foundation, MagicCheck R2 delivers an enhanced and optimized user experience. Noted by Juan Castro, Neill Aircraft Company, MagicCheck includes “…multiple additional functionalities and features absent on previous software products used by our company.” Multi-core processing enables increased performance and faster model import speeds by allocating system processing across all available system cores instead of the standard process of using one core at a time. The new dockable browser panes and upgraded visualization features allow users to customize their 3D model comparison environment to their requirements. Supporting numerous file formats, MagicCheck R2 includes updated file format support for CATIA, NX, Inventor and Parasolid. New formats introduced in R2 include DWG/DXF and SMLib.

Delivering a complete solution, TransMagic focuses on more than just the technology; “implementation and training have been a great plus, along with exceptional Customer Service,” adds Castro.
