Overview
Project Krypton Technology Preview provides early stage design advice to plastic part designers. Seamlessly integrated into the Autodesk® Inventor®, Autodesk® Inventor LT™, and SolidWorks® environment, this add-on provides real-time feedback on a plastic part’s manufacturability, cost efficiency, and the environmental impact of the selected material. Project Krypton helps designers make better decisions to ensure their products can be properly manufactured, are more cost-effective, and are produced using materials with a lower environmental impact.
Project Krypton Technology Preview runs on your computer, automatically assesses the part after each design modification, and raises alerts regarding potential concerns. Users can review details of each concern and view problem areas highlighted directly on the model. Design advice is offered, which helps the user make appropriate design changes to address the concerns.
Project Krypton Technology Preview is only applicable for injection molded plastic parts designs. The Project Krypton Technology Preview executable will operate until November 20, 2010.
