Anark Core 1.1 provides several enhancements to the company's automated CAD data transformation software system, including direct support for three industry-leading 3D data-exchange and visualization formats: VRML, X3D, and Autodesk[R] DWF[TM]. The newly added formats expand upon a growing menu of industry-leading, high-precision and lightweight 3D CAD and visualization formats supported by Anark Core. VRML and X3D are recognized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C (World Wide Web Consortium, www.w3.org) An international industry consortium founded in 1994 by Tim Berners-Lee to develop standards for the Web. It is hosted in the U.S. by the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at MIT (www.csail.mit.edu/index.php). ) and the International Organization for Standardization International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Organization for determining standards in most technical and nontechnical fields. Founded in Geneva in 1947, its membership includes more than 100 countries. (ISO (1) See ISO speed. (2) (International Organization for Standardization, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iso.ch) An organization that sets international standards, founded in 1946. The U.S. member body is ANSI. ) as open 3D graphics formats for a wide array of data exchange and visualization applications. The Autodesk DWF format was added to allow users to easily export transformed 3D CAD data from Anark Core for use within Autodesk Design Review and Freewheel free·wheel n. also free wheel 1.

Design Review is Autodesk's software to view, print, measure, mark up, and annotate 2D and 3D designs, and Freewheel is their free web service to view and share 2D and 3D designs. Anark Core 1.1 also includes significant memory-performance enhancements, enabling larger CAD assemblies and parts to be transformed within Anark Core Workstation and Anark Core Server. This will aid manufacturers seeking to transform product design data for exchange, collaboration, and visualization processes, including technical publications. "The Anark Core Platform has been well received by leading manufacturing companies that need to easily and cost-effectively transform and share relevant product data internally and throughout the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and supply chain," commented Scott Collins, Anark's Senior Vice President of Product Development. "Core's expanded support for popular 3D visualization formats and improved performance extends its utility within critical collaboration, design-data-exchange, and visualization applications."
