By DE Editors

VariCAD (Liberec, Czech Republic) released VariCAD 2008 3.0, a new version of its 3D/2D mechanical CAD system. This version uses Unicode, and supports fonts from another languages (e.g. Japanese, Chinese, Russian etc.)  and special characters.

This new version also brings improved DWG and DXF compatibility, more convenient system settings, improved BOM, and more.

In addition to standard tools for 3D modeling and 2D drafting, the CAD system provides tools for shells, pipelines, sheet metal unbending and crash tests, assembly support, libraries of standard mechanical parts (ANSI, DIN) and symbols,  mechanical part calculations and tools for working with bills of materials (BOM), and title blocks. VariCAD supports STEP, STL, IGES, DWG and DXF file formats.

Mechanical designers can quickly create, evaluate, and modify their models as the CAD system is sold “fully loaded,” including all features and functions,  for one affordable price.

Free 30-day trial versions for Windows and Linux are available for download from VariCAD.
