Brief Description

GTWorks™ is a comprehensive 3-D CAD/CAM system for design, documentation and manufacturing. All software applications share a common user interface, with easy-to-learn, on-screen menus, special function keys, and user-definable icon buttons. Applications are linked to a common database, eliminating the need for data reproduction, conversion and file maintenance.

The software provides a rich set of 2D and 3D modeling tools for creating geometrically accurate product design. Wireframe models are constructed from basic geometric elements such as points, lines, arcs, circles, conics, and splines (cubic, B-Spline, and NURBS). Models created using GTWorks™ are exact mathematical representations suitable for precise manufacturing and analysis.

Several options and features are designed to enhance and clarify the product image. Model elements (selected individually, or collectively by color, line, layer or region) can be blanked temporarily or removed from view to provide a simplified or unobstructed view. Models can be viewed in various sizes and orientations, or multiple views can be displayed simultaneously. Color, texture, shading and hidden line removal help to create a physically accurate portrait of a completed model.

Built-in drafting capabilities enable you to create production-quality engineering drawings for 2D needs, or form wireframe and surfaced models. Permanent associativity between the engineering drawing and the original 3D model assures that any change made to the model is incorporated automatically in all views of the engineering drawing. Drafting generates horizontal, vertical, parallel, angular, radius and diameter dimensions; up to 56 standard cross-hatching patterns; and text annotation in the form of notes, labels and balloons. GTWorks™ supports ANSI, ISO, DIN and JIS drafting standards and provides a supplemental library of commonly used fasteners and drafting symbols.

The professional edition adds provides several specialized functions, including flat pattern development, interactive nesting and numerical control programming.

GTWorks™ lends itself to easy and powerful customization using either C/C++ or Fortran. If you need assistance with customization, GrayTech is readily available to get you started or assume all aspects of the development effort.


Core GTWorks Engine Development

GTWorks™ is being separated into a core CAD engine and GUI. Currently the GTWorks™ viewer has been rewritten using this new framework. All menus, dialogs and interaction has been converted to a Windows style interface layer which calls the GTWorks engine as a DLL, GTW.dll. The GUI source code is available for free to all GTWorks users under support. Using Visual Studio 2008 or later, a client may alter or enhance the GTWorks viewer for their needs free of charge.

The GUI is being comverted to WPF (XML) and C#.
