Press Release Summary: Panaji - 16th Oct, 2007 - SYCODE today launched Point Cloud
1.0, an affordable and powerful software solution for the reverse engineering
industry.


Press Release Body: \"Our reverse engineering plug-ins for AutoCAD and Rhino have
generated a lot of interest in the reverse engineering community", explains Deelip
Menezes, owner of SYCODE. "From the feedback that we have received we get the sense
that users do not want to be restricted to AutoCAD or Rhino. So we decided to create
a standalone version and the result is Point Cloud 1.0".

Reverse engineering is basically reconstructing a solid or a surface from
unorganized point cloud data. Point Cloud 1.0 can import a set of points (or a point
cloud) from a text file and drape a NURBS surface over it or wrap a mesh around the
points. The surface can be draped along the 6 orthogonal directions or by specifying
a custom direction. There is also the facility to compensate for probe diameter.
This is particularly useful when the points have been recorded by a touch probe
digitizer.

Point Cloud 1.0 is a standalone application and is not dependent on any other
software. It uses the OpenNURBS 3DM file format as its native format to store point,
surface and mesh data. At SYCODE, we believe that there are too many proprietary
file formats already out there, each coming with their own set of interoperability
problems. We are making a conscious effort to keep things simple for our customers.
After all, our company slogan is \"software made simple\". Moreover, by using the
OpenNURBS 3DM format to store 3D data, we are making the data instantly accessible
to a range of CAD software systems.

Point Cloud 1.0 is priced at 295 EUR per license. This is far lesser than other
conventional reverse engineering software, thus making it an affordable software
solution to just about everyone. It is available as a fully functional 10 day/run
trial. The software comes with detailed documentation in the form of a compiled HTML
help file which contains a step-by-step tutorial to get the end user started in the
shortest possible time.
