New Criteria Systems Website Online

Criteria Systems proudly announces the re-launching of our website. The new site features more content, and a better navigation. Furthermore the new website puts our corporate identity into a new light.

Since our inception in 2007, Criteria Systems has worked to develop and improve our website delivery. Now we have completely overhauled the site to bring a new exciting and clear corporate vision to our customers. We are also taking this opportunity to showcase our new product and service offerings, including our status as an authorized value-added reseller of AutoCAD 2010 software.

The new website features an easy-to-follow navigation, more dynamic content and more comprehensive information about our products and services. Each page features a consistent drop-down menu and other navigation tools make the site very simple to work-through. Lots of Flash content demonstrates how each of our applications and offerings are presented. Dynamic content such as this also emphasizes the 3D work we undertake at Criteria Systems. A key development of the re-worked site has been to provide better content so that our customers are empowered with the knowledge and tools they need.

Apart from the look of the site, there are a great many 'under-the-hood' improvements that should help us increase our exposure and search engine rankings.

The initial feedback on the in-house designed and built site has been so positive, that we have decided to offer website design as one of our design services. "The look and feel of the site is great," comments one reviewer, "it takes Criteria Systems to a whole new level." Stay tuned to www.criteria-systems.com in the future as we continue to push the boundaries of website design.

Merry Christmas

We have uploaded some new video of 3D scan results.  The detail level of these scans is incredible. 













Stay tuned for more innovative breakthroughs at Criteria Systems!

3D Scanning Applications

3D Laser scanning is the process of measuring any given object by means of a laser beam and digitizing the information.

Our scanning systems work by reading a reflected laser beam off of the original object. The scan system then builds a 3D model of the object. This model can be modified in a CAD-system or used for copying the exact shape, or rapid prototyped out as a one to one or scaled version of the original.

With our latest scanning technology it is also to capture the color of an object. This can be used on a prototype as well.  3D Scanning with Criteria Systems can therefore be used to:

• minimize development costs
• reduce/eliminate CAD development time
  
• shorten development periods 
• enter the market much faster

As the following diagram illustrates, the applications for 3D scanning include reverse engineering, triangle mesh creation for export to CAD, animation, simulation and CNC tool path applications, as well as for quality assurance testing.

Criteria Systems Adds AutoCAD 2010 to Design and Engineering Software Portfolio

Criteria Systems Adds AutoCAD 2010 to Design and Engineering Software Portfolio

Calgary, Alberta, October 2, 2009 – Criteria Systems Ltd. today announced it has become an Autodesk authorized value-added reseller of AutoCAD 2010 software.

AutoCAD is the world's leading design and documentation platform.  The 2010 release provides more power and innovation to help customers document, communicate, explore and customize design ideas. With new free-form design tools, users can easily explore ideas in 3D models to create almost any shape they can imagine. New PDF import and underlay and enhanced publishing features can improve two-way communication with the extended design team. In addition, the introduction of constraint-based parametric drawing tools enables users to define persistent relationships between objects, accelerating crucial design revision workflows. AutoCAD 2010 now also supports 3D printing, which makes it easy to produce physical 3D models and physical prototypes by connecting to on-demand 3D printing services or personal 3D printers.

"Providing customers with the powerful 3D design tools that enable them to stretch the limits of their creativity was our priority for the 2010 release of AutoCAD," said Guri Stark, Autodesk vice president, AutoCAD and Platform Products. "With the support of Criteria Systems Ltd., we look forward to helping even more design professionals use AutoCAD to the take their documentation and design further."

Empower your Creativity: In order to provide customers with industry-leading tools to empower their creativity, Criteria Systems Ltd. is proud to announce their role as an authorized Autodesk reseller.  Criteria Systems is dedicated to meeting the needs of our clients in the 3D CAD world and are excited about what the AutoCADsoftware offers our customers.  For our rapid prototyping customers, the direct support of 3D printing makes AutoCAD software a smart choice.

Criteria Systems offers the latest in rapid prototyping, 3D scanning and design services. Based in Calgary, Alberta, our cost-effective solutions for rapid prototyping get parts into your hands quickly for evaluations and approvals. We also specialize in foam prototyping for your large format prototyping needs. Rapid Prototyping (RP) is a common name given to a variety of technologies that are used to create three dimensional prototypes directly from CAD files or digitally scanned data. In general the technologies create models of material in thin layers. These additive technologies offer advantages in many applications compared to subtractive fabrication methods such as milling or turning. With Criteria Systems, you also can also incorporate color and graphics into your rapid prototype models.  Along with years of experience in CAD and 3D design, Criteria Systems is now offering AutoCAD 2010 software as part of its product portfolio. 

Autodesk carefully selects resellers to help ensure a strong partner network capable of superior, responsive service. Today, there are more than 1700 resellers serving more than 9 million Autodesk users worldwide with exemplary proficiency in the demonstration, installation and support of Autodesk products. Authorized Autodesk Resellers gain a dependable partner in Autodesk, receiving incentives, marketing support, training for sales and technical representatives, and business planning and management guidance.
