Advanced 3D Modeling & Production Design
Insane power at an extraordinary price, ViaCAD™ Pro offers precision solid modeling and drafting toolsets, enabling advanced 3D prototyping, photorealistic rendering, and design for products and packaging.
Usability
ViaCAD Pro offers a seamless progression for CAD hobbyists and professionals looking to take their skills to the next level. The power of ViaCADs precision solid modeling and drafting toolsets make it perfect for designing objects and parts, manufacturing, and prototyping projects. The addition of mesh-based modeling coupled with subdivision technology makes creating 3D conceptual drawings a snap. It also contains all the great features of ViaCAD 2D/3D, so working in the 2D space is incredibly intuitive and efficient.
ViaCAD Pro provides robust 3D modeling tools.
ViaCAD provides powerful solid modeling technology found in much higher end products. Additionally, ViaCAD Pro delivers surface modeling tools to expand design capabilities.
• Feature-based History Tree for editing
• Powerful 3D editing tools such as blending, chamfering, and shelling
• A complete design tool with extrusions, Booleans, surface modeling for more complex smooth surfaces
• Precise geometry suitable for concept to manufacturing
• Associative surface modeling
Woodworking and Architectural tools
ViaCAD Pro includes tools to speed up woodworking designs. You can quickly create otherwise tedious joints such as Dado joints and miter joints. The furniture that you design might just be for your new house or office. The plans for those buildings can be created with ViaCAD Pro as well as 3D views.
• Woodworking Joints: rabbet, miter joints, and Dovetails
• Woodworking Dado joints including options for Through, Stopped or Blind
• Woodworking Tongue & Groove
• Architectural Wall tools
• Composite walls to show materials
• Parametric doors and windows
• Instant 3D walls, roofs, and floor slabs
