CSG Thumbnail 2.1

The CSG Thumbnail is a powerful tool developed by CAD Schroer to help users visualize complex CAD models in an intuitive manner.

Unlike traditional methods that rely on 2D views or wireframe models, the CSG Thumbnail creates an interactive 3D model of the object that can be easily navigated and manipulated.

This technology works by using constructive solid geometry (CSG), an advanced algorithm that mathematically transforms geometries to create new shapes. Users can quickly access all parts and sub-parts of the design, and view them in a realistic, virtual environment.

• The CSG Thumbnail is particularly useful for large assemblies, machine designs, and architectural models, where complex geometries can make comprehension difficult.
• By using the CSG Thumbnail, designers can easily identify potential design flaws or errors before committing resources to build a physical prototype.

Additionally, this tool supports file types from multiple CAD vendors including Siemens NX, SolidWorks, PTC Creo, Autodesk Inventor and Solid Edge.

The CSG Thumbnail is a valuable addition to any designer's toolkit to explore designs visually in 3D, shorten design cycles and save time and cost.
