4. Standard Capabilities… Form•Z supports DWG and DXF format to facilitate import/export to and from AutoCAD engineering / CAD software, as well as other CAD platforms which except the DWG / DXF formats. This allows Form•Z interchangeability and “hand off” capability with drawing / design files. Form•Z can design directly in 3D or in 2D allowing the user the ability to effortlessly slip back and forth among drafting, modeling, rendering, and animation modes. Form•Z can be a “one stop shop” for developing various forms of project documentation. Form•Z is highly responsive and sophisticated enough to support the needs of established designers and engineers; and at the same time intuitive enough that the novice user can learn with relative ease. 3

8. Synopsis… Form•Z is a popular rendering and animation software platform, a trusted design tool utilized by industry professionals, as well as students in institutions of higher education. The CAD software market is enjoying robust demand due to increased utilization by small, medium and large sized business enterprises. This increase is largely driven by the decrease in price of computer hardware and software. More companies are using various CAD software platforms to enhance the design projects of their clientele, Form•Zis a viable and contemporary “player” in this arena. It’s growing popularity within the engineering /design community, plus stakeholders who demand complete proficiency in the software drive students to become fully “Form•Z conversant” before or while pursuing careers in those fields. Currently, Form•Zsales are handled through dealers.
