Image Importation
It is possible to include in the work area 3D images in standard graphic formats from scanners or graphic processing
applications. These images can be used as basic sketch to build the required shapes or curves to realize the shape while preserving the designer’s creative intent.

GSM³ Global Shape Modeling and GSM³ Zone Modeling
Think3’s Global Shape Modeling, now called GSM³, provides designers a very high level of technological innovation with unrivalled ease of use. It is currently the only creation and modification tool that enables to make changes in a quick and accurate way in any stage of the design process, accelerating interactions with unlimited creativity and eliminating the need to rebuild models. This innovative technology can be applied either locally and subsequently, removing the limitations of traditional modeling programs. With the benefits of solid modeling and the flexibility of free shaped surface models, it is possible to make extremely creative and accurate changes to any kind of shape, both native and imported, ensuring a full and faster associativity compared to traditional approaches.

2D and 3D Translators
ThinkDesign Styling provides 2D translators for DWG, DXF, IGES and GBG Draftmaker, as well as 3D translators for IGES, STEP, STL, VDA, VRML, WaveFront, IV, ThinkDesign’s neutral format and ASCII. Other think3 translation platforms (available separately) support most proprietary 3D formats as well as the two-way conversion of Catia V5, Pro/E and Parasolid files. A two way converter for Catia V4 files is also available (2D included).

GSM³ Reflection Highlight
It eliminates the need to build and rebuild models. The user defines the required highlight on the object and think3’s technology automatically builds the shape. This unique solution allows to modify a shape by changing the reflection light on the shape itself.

Rake Sweep
In the wider Touch and Design project context (www.kaemart.it/touch-and-design), which will allow to work with a virtual rake on virtual clay, this control enables the creation of high quality surfaces that simulate the movement of the rake on the clay. It is a unique instrument for achieving high quality shapes simulating the clay modeling techniques typical of car industries.

Real Time Dynamic Rendering
It enables working on a model with an unrivalled level of realism. For example, by applying the GSM³ functionality to a rendered model it is possible to view the resulting change in real time. In addition it enables the mapping of the surrounding environment in different modes, while textures can be applied to surfaces by means of various options.

2D/3D/PLM Transparency
ThinkDesign Engineering’s integrated design environment ensures full 2D/3D/PDM transparency and does not require expensive interfaces for the migration from 2D to 3D. ThinkDesign Engineering offers optimized and interoperable 2D and 3D environments, that are fully integrated in thinkPLM, think3’s PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) application suite. This way companies can preserve and modify existing 2D data, securing their original investment ad preventing the risks associated to the migration from a design platform to another.
