NEW! We Want Your Input.
Help others in the industry and even get some free publicity for yourself.
The TriStar Bulletin was designed for our customers, so we’d like you to help us make it exactly what you need.
We are always looking for industry-relevant (not just Pro/E) articles to include in the Bulletin.
Send us your press releases, articles, tips and tricks, or any other news and accomplishments of your company you’d like to share. Likewise, if you come across any news items that could benefit your colleagues, pass it along as well (with credit to original source of course).

NEWS AND ARTICLES
Pro/ENGINEER Goes Under the Knife
Pure Depth engineers created a unique dual-image display LCD screen that allows surgeons to view their operating instruments and a patient’s vital signs simultaneously during surgery. See how industrial designers and mechanical engineers were able to work simultaneously on the same model while allowing each group to still control their own sections.

Pro/ENGINEER Reverse Engineering Extension
Quickly convert Existing Products into 3D CAD Models
Do you have prototypes, current products, or finished tooling, but no related drawings or CAD data? Are you dreading having to create the CAD model from scratch? Perhaps you design highly customizable products such as medical devices that require a perfect fit with the human body. Are you wondering how you’ll get the parts to fit? Relax.
Pro/ENGINEER Reverse Engineering allows the transformation of existing physical products into digital models. Its suite of automation capabilities and ability to impose dramatic design changes help improve product customization and increase design re-use opportunities. Fast and powerful, Pro/ENGINEER Reverse Engineering enables productive use of existing intellectual property.
KEY BENEFITS
- Reduce costs and shorten development time by automating the process of reverse engineering a physical prototype
- Simplify the workflow, and minimize the learning curve, by using the same CAD program you use to design your products to also reverse engineer a product
- Reduce noise in point cloud data for more accurate product designs
- Maintain design integrity by accurately capturing the design intent of the original product
- Automate the manual process of transforming scan data into manufacturable surfaces
- Easily update old designs without their original digital data to meet new market requirements
- Analyze the differences between the completed model and the original point cloud data to verify accuracy
