In the latest issue of Desktop Engineering (March 2000, p. 14-21) Joe Greco published the results of
his blending and filleting challenge. He tested 3D modelers based on 15 specific criteria.
Vellum Solids clearly outperformed all of the competitors by successfully completing 14 of the 15 blends. In addition to general
completion stats, the article charts what (if any) work was required before adding a fillet/blend in order for it to function. Here again, Vellum Solids stood out. 12 of the 14 blends created in Vellum Solids required no additional
work.
"This clearly demonstrates the power of Vellum Solids, letting designers freely create what they dream," says Robert Bou, Ashlar's president.
"We are elated that Vellum Solids so ably demonstrates our
technological achievements and shows how ACIS is setting the standard for 3D modeling functionality and rapid technology development," remarked Bruce Morgan, president and CEO, Spatial Inc
