ProFab Hip Pocket Demo and Video Now Available
Sheet Metal CAM software includes a direct interface to SolidWorks

Milford, OH, July 29, 2004 — Applied Production, Inc. announced today that the ProFab Hip Pocket Demo and Introduction to ProFab video are now available. These great new marketing tools show how easily ProFab Sheet Metal CAM software automates and optimizes the process of programming a CNC Turret Punch Press or Laser Machine. The ProFab Hip Pocket Demo and Introduction to ProFab video are available on the “Partner Interactive Demos, Videos and Case Studies” page of the SolidWorks Web site (www.solidworks.com/pages/partners/Hip_pocket_demo_public.html) and at www.AppliedProduction.com.

As a leader in the programming of CNC Punch Presses and Laser Machines, the ProFab Hip Pocket Demo is a PowerPoint presentation constructed in such a way that it appears as if the user is giving a ProFab demonstration. This is a very easy way for sales people and application engineers to demonstrate ProFab along with its SolidWorks® interface, without being an expert using the ProFab software.

The Introduction to ProFab video provides streaming video of SolidWorks software and ProFab in action. A sheet metal part designed in SolidWorks is used to show how ProFab is integrated in SolidWorks, eliminating the need to export and import data. ProFab provides the user the most powerful set of tools for programming a CNC Punch Presses or Laser machines. AutoTool, interactive nesting, and optimize are just some of the features highlighted. Engineers and designers use ProFab and SolidWorks so they can manufacture better products faster and more efficiently, speeding time to market. The SolidWorks model used in the video as well as a 30-day ProFab trial is available for download at www.AppliedProduction.com.

“SolidWorks is the standard for 3D mechanical design software,” said Brian Houle, Partner Program manager for SolidWorks. “Combining it with ProFab gives engineers the tools they need to do their jobs faster and better by reducing programming time and increasing shop floor productivity.”

The SolidWorks Partner Program features products and services that complement SolidWorks products. ProFab supports SolidWorks 2004 3D mechanical design software. ProFab includes a direct interface to SolidWorks and provides users with instant access to ProFab within the SolidWorks window.
