Stockholm, Sweden - January 23, 2007 – Tacton Systems, global vendor of product configuration software, today announced that it will launch and demonstrate TactonWorks at the SolidWorks World 2007 Conference, being held from February 4 through February 7, 2007 in New Orleans. The ninth annual SolidWorks World Conference brings together designers, engineers, managers, and partners to discuss ideas, trends, and the technology shaping the future of mechanical design. Conference attendees will see how TactonWorks and SolidWorks allow manufacturers to automatically configure complete assemblies and drawings to meet customer specific requirements.
As a SolidWorks Solution Partner, Tacton has embedded their state-of-the-art product configurator into the SolidWorks Window, empowering engineers to interactively engineer-to-order a complete 3D assembly simply by defining the customer’s requirements, and reviewing how the design changes for each selection. Engineers can define the configuration rules in a point-and-click environment, leveraging powerful configuration constraints.
“SolidWorks delivers powerful and easy-to-use 3D and 2D design functionality, and its parametric capability makes a perfect match with Tacton Configurator, to provide design automation for engineer-to-order manufacturers. We are looking forward to showing live demonstrations of this joint solution and discussing reference customer cases at SolidWorks World.” said Klas Orsvärn, Executive Vice President, R&D, Tacton Systems.
“TactonWorks has built a strong reputation for delivering exactly the engineer-to-order automation that design engineers need, “said SolidWorks Solution Partner Program Manager Efrat Ravid. “Together, TactonWorks and SolidWorks 2007 give engineers the innovative tools, design power, and ease of use to design better products.”
