And here's a pretty interesting quote about SpaceClaim from a different location
http://blog.novedge.com/3d_cad/index.html :
Quote:
"The most interesting aspect of the Kubotek and SpaceClaim approaches is that the system "intelligence" and "knowledge" are 100% in the editing algorithms, not in the data structure as in a parametric system. This provides two major benefits:
The smart editing can be applied to any geometry regardless of the CAD system of origin. This is a huge improvement over systems like Pro/E or SolidWorks where parametric changes can be applied only to native data.
Given enough time, money, and computer power, the algorithms can be improved and optimized. At each new software release, the systems have the potential to deliver a better value by enhancing their "intelligence."
Today we are witnessing the birth of the next generation of 3D CAD systems, but it is still too early to know who will become the leader. More companies will join this group of innovators and new ideas will appear."
