ACTON, MA--(INTERNET WIRE)--Feb 13, 2002 -- Immersive Design, Inc., ( www.immersivedesign.com) an industry leader in product communication, today announces its participation in the upcoming SolidWorks World Conference (DASTY) in Las Vegas, February 17-20. Show attendees will see the company's latest release of IPA Professional 7.2, IPA WebView 3D streaming viewing technology, as well as a preview of the new IPA Publish3d for SolidWorks.

IPA Professional 7.2. This new release of the company's flagship interactive 3D authoring and web publishing software boasts new web page templates for assembly/methods procedures, service instructions, part catalogs, user manuals, and training manuals.

IPA WebView. 3D streaming viewer allows the viewer to be embedded in an e-mail attachment and also features additional functionality to facilitate the generation of powerful web pages.

IPA Publish3D for SolidWorks. IPA Publish3d for SolidWorks enables SolidWorks users to quickly and easily generate interactive 3D product and process documentation. IPA Publish3d leverages the data contained in users' SolidWorks assemblies to generate a 3D interactive web page that can be distributed as an e-mail attachment or published to a web site. Offered at an introductory price of $195, IPA Publish3d for SolidWorks is an add-on that saves companies significant time and costs associated with traditional means of generating 3D product and process documentation.

"While many manufacturing companies have embraced 3D modeling, they still revert back to 2D when generating the documentation necessary to communicate their product assembly methods, service instructions, part catalogs, or any process associated with their products," says Gregory Smith, CEO of Immersive Design. "IPA Publish3d for SolidWorks intelligently takes advantage of all the knowledge contained in CAD assemblies and allows the user to quickly create the required product and process documentation in a 3D interactive web page that can be easily updated."

To learn more about how IPA products can help reduce the time and cost associated with product and process documentation generation, visit the Immersive Design booth (#319) and attend Gregory Smith's presentation "The Power of Online 3D Product Documentation" at SolidWorks World on Tuesday, February 19, at 3:15 p.m. in the Tradewinds C.
