Boost your 3D productivity and design with a 3D mouse
In the product development chain, one key element to delivering high-quality, defect-free products quickly to the market is the performance of CAD design engineers. If they can improve their product designs, catch problem areas earlier, and do all this in less time, they can contribute to improving their companies' market performance.
Did you know that 3D input devices help boost the productivity of CAD design engineers:
•
84% of CAD design engineers report an improvement in their designing
•
21% average productivity gain using 3D mice
•
Payback period for 3D mice is typically less than one month
The SpacePilot's optical sensor technology and ergonomic design combine to deliver unprecedented control of 3D applications. Use the SpacePilot in your non-dominant hand to position, rotate, pan and zoom your model in one single, fluid motion. Use the mouse with your other hand to edit the model or select menu items. You simply push, pull, tilt or twist the SpacePilot's controller cap to simultaneously pan, zoom and rotate 3D imagery. You'll unify navigation systems from multiple 3D programs and experience a natural way to work (and play) in 3D environments using 3Dconnexion's award-winning technology.
SpacePilot also features 21 function keys that eliminate keyboard shortcuts and increase your efficiency.
Unique adaptive sensing technology automatically configures the function key console. Commands become available on the LCD and dynamically update as you switch between applications or work in different modes within an application.
Compatible with over 100 3D applications, the 3Dconnexion SpacePilot connects you to the 3D design process like never before.
