What's included?

• Plastic Rules: Assign plastic rules to components to automatically control the properties of plastic features, like physical material and thickness. Create new rules, edit existing rules, or save rules to a library to use them in multiple designs.
• Plastic Design Tools: Use the Boss and Snap Fit tools to create plastic features. Add draft angle, draft pull direction, and fillet radius to Web and Rib features.
• Presets: Create setting presets to quickly reuse common values.
• Geometric Pattern: Create complex patterns with adjustable size and distribution gradients across a selected face.
• Organic Mesh Conversion: Convert organically shaped meshes to solid, surface, or T-Spline bodies.
• Volumetric Lattice: Modify existing solid or closed mesh bodies to create complex volumetric lattices that alter the shape and appearance of a design.
• Design Advice: Identify manufacturability concerns based on industry best practices and company standards, and receive recommendations to improve the manufacturability and performance of your design.
