Amapi Pro 7.5 provides product designers and 3D modelers a NURBS-based environment for conception and creation of highly refined 3D models.
Amapi Pro is flexible and fast, and offers all the advanced design tools to accurately construct, model and assemble complex 3D models in the 3D space.
About Amapi Pro:
Amapi Pro's NURBS (non-uniform rational B-splines) modeling allows designers to create and edit complex surfaces and volumes in a unique user interface widely recognized in the industry.
- Explore Design Alternatives
The Dynamic Geometry palette allows you to navigate inside complex objects made up of several levels, or earlier design stages can be revisited for design alternatives.
Amapi Pro handles IGES, SAT, STL and DWG file formats which communicate seamlessly with 2D CAD systems for integration into the manufacturing process. Amapi Pro provides the link between the designer's initial idea and the reality of the final project.
- Perfect Prototypes the First Time Around
Amapi generates watertight STL files, so you can quickly create plastic models of your design for rapid prototyping, facilitating the tooling process. Once your design is complete, you can build your prototype!
- Shade 8 Texturing & Rendering Now Included!
Amapi is now offered with Shade 8 standard. Shade delivers one of the most powerful rendering engines available anywhere, and includes Raytracing, Path Tracing, HDRI and Global illumination support. Enhanced with ShadeGrid, you can render on multiple machines.
NEW! in Version 7.5:
- Bezier-curve drawing and edition tool
Since object design often starts with sketching the most characteristic curves, Amapi Pro 7.5 now offers a smartly integrated Bezier-curve drawing and edition tool. Designers will feel at home with this new drawing function that completes the Amapi Pro drawing palette with the most intuitive way to conceive and tune a 2D profile.
- Advanced NURBS snapping assistants
Amapi Pro 7.5 now provides a full set of advanced NURBS snapping assistants. It allows the designer to get instant and dynamic access to all singular points and directions related to existing curves: extremities, tangents, perpendiculars, intersections, and more.
The Amapi Pro 7.5's snapping assistant system is fully dynamic and ideally integrated into all drawing and edition tools, providing a powerful yet easy-to-use way to draw with accuracy and efficiency.
Subdivision surfaces, and more generally Box Modeling is a very handy method for creating organic shapes. But it previously handled and created only polyhedral models. Not any more! Amapi Pro 7.5 brings the unique ability to combine the flexibility of Box Modeling technique and the power of NURBS representation.
Advanced 3D Illustrators will love this tool!
- NURBS variable-radius filleting
Amapi Pro 7.5 now makes it possible to apply a variable filleting radius by vertex, edge or along an edge. This new capability offers more flexibility to create advanced bevels and chamfers along sharp edges of your models.
- New Advanced Import/Export Modules!
Another bonus that comes with Amapi Pro 7.5 is a full set of new import&export modules! It enables Amapi Pro to communicate seamlessly with all major CAD/CAM systems. This addition completes the import / export capabilities of Amapi Pro by reading and writing natively the ACIS/SAT, STEP, VDAFS, OpenNURBS and Open-RP file formats.
- Enhanced hidden-line management
- Improved measurement display
- Overall printing improvement
Additional Features:
- Contextual menus at your fingertips
By a simple right-click on the mouse, you can now open at any time a full contextual menu, giving you a clear and complete access to frequently used functions, as well as to all options and accessories available within the tool you are currently using.
Amapi Pro 7.5 gives you instant access to all the features you need at anytime during your modeling session.
- e frontier News Service integrated
Nothing can be more convenient and user-friendly than to be informed in real time about fresh product updates, new resources, tutorials, and more. The e-news window will pop-up at Amapi Pro launch every time there are new updates, tutorials or product resources available. The e frontier News Service keeps you up-to-date with the Amapi Pro enhancements and services!
