SolidWorks gefur út DWGgateway 2. október 2005

SolidWorks leggur mikið upp úr því að gera hönnuðum sem eru enn að hanna í tvívídd með Autocad eins auðvelt og hagkvæmt og mögulegt er að færa sig yfir í þrívíða hönnun með SolidWorks. Þannig býður SolidWorks, eitt þrívíðra hönnunarkerfa, notendum upp á að opna Autocad teikningu með þremur vörpunum beint inn í SolidWorks og með örfáum skipunum að breyta þeirri teikningu í þrívíða teikningu af hlutnum.

Til að gera umbreytinguna hagkvæmari fylgir DWG-editor með öllum SolidWorks leyfum en notendur geta notað hann til að halda við Autocad teikningum þegar á því þarf að halda. Unnt er að hanna í DWG-editornum eða vista nýjar Autocad teikningar á eldra format og nota eldri útgáfu af Autocad. Því verður hreinn óþarfi að uppfæra Autocad leyfið því eins og Autocad notendur vita eru sjaldnast einhverjar nýjungar sem verið er að leita eftir þegar Autocad er endurnýjað.

Ennfremur býður SolidWorks nú frítt DWGgateway sem er “plug-inn” í Autocad og Autocad notendur geta notað á auðveldan hátt nýtt til að vista nýjar Autocad teikningar á formi fyrir eldri útgáfur. Unnt er að nálgast DWGgateway á eftirfarandi síðu:

Nesfiskur purchases two Valka RapidFeeds 29. apríl 2004


One of Iceland’s leading fish producers, Nesfiskur ehf, has completed the purchase of two Valka RapidFeed machines to feed a new 2500 kg/hour IQF spiral freezer manufactured by Dantech of Singapore. The new machines will be installed during the summer.

Located in the village of Gardur at the tip of the Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland’s extreme southwest, Nesfiskur processes primarily cod, saithe and redfish fillets. The company made its decision to purchase the machines after carefully evaluating the performance of three RapidFeeds in operation since the beginning of the year at Reykjavík processor Grandi hf.

Having examined the situation closely, Nesfiskur arrived at the same conclusion as Grandi, that the Valka RapidFeed is an essential part of any IQF installation in order to obtain optimum utilisation of the freezer.
