3Dconnexion 3D Mice Extend Power Of Catia V6R2010

3Dconnexion has announced its range of 3D mice, including the Spacepilot Pro flagship 3D mouse, is now supported by Dassault Systemes’ Catia Version 6 2010 virtual design solution. 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice help engineers working in Catia V6R2010 to more efficiently interact with and collaborate on designs. In addition to the increased control and navigation benefits inherent in 3Dconnexion 3D mice, the Spacepilot Pro 3D mouse also complements the collaborative engineering and improved efficiency focus of Catia V6R2010, with features designed to help engineers save time and reduce interruptions in their design workflows.

Its Quickview Navigation keys offer designers easy access to 32 standard views, allowing Catia users and workgroups to instantly view a design from any angle for improved error detection and design review and verification, while its full-colour LCD Workflow Assistant lists function-key assignments and delivers at-a-glance access to important information. For added productivity, 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice and new Spacepilot Pro are also pre-configured with the most commonly used commands for Catia.

Design engineers also have the flexibility to further customise the programmable buttons to suit their personal workflow needs using Catia’s built-in button-mapping editor. In addition, 3Dconnexion’s 3D mice allow engineers to navigate and control their designs more naturally and intuitively when working with the new direct modelling and visualisation enhancements featured in Dassault Systemes’ V6R2010. With less time spent toggling views and commands within Catia, users are left with more time for the creative elements of a design.

Website Includes 3D Tours Of Pumps

A new website offers users a host of useful technical information on positive displacement and double helical gear pumps. The new Varley Pumps website includes 3D tours of pump products, downloadable documents, digital brochures, spare parts ordering information, latest news, as well as showcases of pump products and applications (including pumps charts). Varley Pumps believes its new website will offer customers a faster method of accessing the information they require, aided by easier navigation, rich technical content and improved overall look and feel.

Debbie Reeve, Group Marketing Manager, comments: “In keeping with Hayward Tyler’s strategy to increase awareness of this high quality brand of gear pumps, the new website will enable Varley Pumps to strengthen its presence internationally, as well as providing further value to the company’s existing and new customers”.

The launch of the website follows a strong start to the year for Varley Pumps, which has already received record orders for the year to date. In addition to its bespoke range of pumps, the company offers a comprehensive range of spare parts and testing services. Customers can also place orders on credit cards to speed up processing and delivery times. UK-based Varley Pumps is part of the Hayward Tyler Group.
