VX Corporation, announces the release of a new product targeting the under entry level CAD market with a truly scalable solution. One dilemma facing CAD/CAM users trying to make do with low-end software is that it doesn't take long before they are faced with an insurmountable design challenge that requires more computing horsepower.

Often, the solution can't be found within the same product line, so users are forced to buy a more expensive product with the additional burden of learning yet another new interface. The same predicament holds true for low-end CAM buyers who settle for inferior CAD tools. Later on, they're forced to purchase a more capable CAD system.

VX is changing all of this with the Innovator product. VX Innovator was designed to put high-end CAD/CAM within reach from a cost, learning and scalability standpoint. Innovator is value-priced, comes pre-loaded with built-in tutorials and can be upgraded to any level of CAD/CAM including full mold & die, design and manufacturing.

VX Innovator solves these problems...

   1. VX Innovator is a true hybrid modeler using modeling tools which work seamlessly with surface and solid geometry.
   2. No Solid Required. The product can import and work with poor geometry. Healing and surface editing tools are available to work with non-solid geometry.
   3. VX Innovator allows you to add style to your models with complex sweeps, lofts and domes.
   4. VX Innovator includes an entire suite of detailing and layout tools, important for communicating design concepts for manufacturing and quoting.
   5. VX Innovator provides the most popular assembly tools for top-down and bottom-up design allowing users to ensure assembly part fit and range of motion.
   6. Your engineering and training investment is protected since Innovator can scale to any of the other VX product bundles.
