Buy Punch! Shark FX Upgrade Windows Software
Bring your idea to market faster with Shark FX, the new standard with precision 3D digital prototyping. Explore new product concepts with unprecedented ease and precisely share data with manufacturing processes.
Key Features
EASE OF USE
While many packages claim ease of use, few actually deliver. Shark not only delivers unprecedented usability, but provides an uncompromised, extensive set of 2D/3D design tools. Shark has been designed, from the ground up, to be intuitive for the casual user as well as the pro engineer. Keys to the innovative user interface include smart prompting and tips, intelligent snapping through LogiCursor, and over 80 minutes of training videos. Install Shark and design your first precision part within minutes!
COMPLETE DESIGN SOLUTION
Shark is the industry’s first modeling application totally focused on conceptual and preliminary design for those requiring precision content for 2D/3D digital models. Shark is a featured package uniquely positioned to provide solutions that address versatile modeling practices, photorealistic rendering, animation, and precision drafting capabilities all within one seamlessly integrated package.
STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY
Shark supports an integrated collection of 2D, 3D, surface, and solid modeling tools. You choose the tools or combination of tools you need for the task at hand. Notable tools include numerous spline creation and modification commands, seventeen surface construction methods, blending, chamfering, shelling, stretching, twisting, bending, and foreign part editing tools. All surface and solid modeling operations transparently support associativity and a history tree for rapid design modifications.
SHARE DATA WITH AutoCAD®, CATIA®, and PRO/E®
Unlike facetted based conceptual design packages, Shark uses a precise kernel that facilitates the sharing of data using IGES, STEP, and AutoCAD® DXF/DWG file formats. Shark also supports reading native CATIA® v4 and PRO/E Wildfire® parts and assemblies as well as SAT for sharing with SolidWorks®.
COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION
Shark provides a complete design solution with access to over 680 commands for curve, surface, solid modeling, drafting, and photorendering at a fraction of the price of competitors. Now you can have all the power without all of the cost.

Special Effects
FX provides photorealistic rendering to add visual realism to your designs. Drag
and drop materials, textures, and decals onto parts. Use the material editor to
tweak reflectance, color, displacement, transparency, and texture space attributes.
Add lights, backgrounds, foregrounds or environment maps to further enhance the
scene. For output, generate poster size, ray traced anti-aliased images or add life to
your presentations with object based animation or QuickTime VR.
