ACTIFY EXPANDS 2D & 3D IMPORTER OFFERING

San Francisco, CA - August 18, 2005 - Actify Inc., the worldwide leader in enterprise-wide design visualization and collaboration solutions for the high technology, automotive, aerospace, industrial automation and discrete manufacturing industries, today announced that it has released another round of importer updates and improvements demonstrating the company's commitment to helping global enterprises streamline their digital design communications processes. Actify continuously develops new importers to support upgraded versions of the industry's leading CAD systems as they become available. New importers include the following:

  • I-DEAS NX V11
  • Unigraphics NX3 3D & 2D
  • JT Open Format

Actify CAD importers allow Information and Knowledge workers to access native CAD files without the use of a CAD system. Importers open and read files from all major CAD systems, allowing SpinFire Professional or Actify Publisher to publish all major CAD files into Actify's compact and secure .3D file format. The .3D file format makes sharing designs much faster and safer than exchanging CAD files. The .3D files can be less than 10% of original CAD file sizes, allowing for secure distribution of files to those who do not have access to the native CAD applications and for design projects embedding the 3D files into the Microsoft Office applications with SpinFire for Microsoft Office.

Actify's full suite of products are designed to enable easy and secure access, communication and distribution of multiple 2D/3D CAD file formats, and related documents through global enterprises and supply chains, without requiring access to native CAD systems. This allows for paperless distribution of complex design data so companies will realize cost savings and productivity gains in product design, procurement, quoting and estimation, manufacturing, sales, marketing and support.

Actify's 8,000 company strong customer base includes companies such as Magna International, Ford, GM, Daimler Chrysler, Honda, Lear, Guardian Automotive, Airbus, Lockheed Martin, NASA, Sony and Canon. Standard and optional importers for CAD formats may be purchased separately or in special bundles. Please visit www.actify.com for more information.
