Taking your existing design knowledge into a 3D world

Are you looking for a 2D to 3D approach to modelling? Would you like even your “hard-core” 2D designers to be able to define your products in a 3D environment?

Then look no further.
The power of the MEDUSA4 3D Modelling tool lies in its simplicity and ease of use. Developed for designers who want to apply their existing knowledge and way of working to a 3D world, the modeller offers an intuitive approach for superior productivity, known as “sheet-based modelling”. It uses standard MEDUSA4 2D tools to define 3D models, meaning you don’t have to be a 3D expert to use it. Training times are minimised, and your company gains greater flexibility when deploying its resources. The newest version offers enhanced tools for defining and editing 3D models, as well as an integral viewer, which allows you to interact with models by zooming, spinning and panning.

Digital Terrain Modeller
The optional Digital Terrain Modeller for architectural and civil engineering applications automatically generates terrain models based on spot heights, and has been used throughout the world to model landscape features such as river beds.

Highlights include:
Intuitive and truly easy to use
No special modelling skills required
Easy 2D to 3D design automation
Allows designers to work in a familiar environment with known tools
Completely integrated product design
Suitable for simple to medium complex geometries
Fast centre of gravity and moments of inertia analysis
Used as base module for large assemblies in MPDS
(MEDUSA Factory Layout and Plant Design System)
Downstream use of your 2D to 3D models in other systems, e.g. Pro/ENGINEER®
