3DConnexion CADMouse, SpaceMouse | CATIA surface to solid workflow example

MAD CAD LTD

I’ve used 3Dconnexion products for many years. You’re not stuck using mouse and key combinations to perform each task one at a time. It becomes especially useful when you have to switch between modeling programs that all use different mouse and key combinations to perform those tasks. With 3Dconnexion, model view manipulation works the same in any modeling application.

3DEXPERIENCE CATIA can be cumbersome using the mouse to manipulate the viewpoint as with any other CAD software. The SpaceMouse makes this a breeze and vastly increases the speed at which rotation, pan and zoom can be acheived.

Having used a normal mouse for performing CAD modelling for years, the dedicated buttons on the SpaceMouse and CadMouse bring a completely new dimension to the way in which I am able to perform CAD modelling and CAE simulations. Less switching of fingers for performing tasks reduces hand fatigue when working with our CAD/CAE softwares like DELMIA and CATIA for 7 to 8 hours daily.

3Dconnexion’s SpaceMouse and CadMouse transform the CATIA experience with precise 3D navigation, customizable controls, and ergonomic design. These tools boost productivity and enhance presentations, making them invaluable for both designers and stakeholders.
