With an SRP of $1795 USD, Shark™ is uniquely structured for users seeking versatile modeling, photo-realistic rendering, animation and precision drafting in one integrated package. With v7, new features include:
The Gripper™ – an intuitive interface to move, rotate, and scale objects in 3D
Inspector – easily access and set pen, text, and dimension attributes
Blending Options to create G2 surface and solid blends
2D views for break-away and offset sections

FX v7 is certified compatible on Windows® 7, working equally as well on Windows Vista® and Windows® XP, and also runs on MAC® OS X.
“Shark is unique in its capabilities as a modeling application totally focused on conceptual and preliminary design,” said Tim Olson, Vice President of Punch! Development for Encore. “But unlike facetted-based packages, Shark uses a precise kernel that facilitates the sharing of data with all other major CAD tools.”
Product, industrial, conceptual, and mechanical designers can be more productive with Shark™ as their design tool, enabling them to more effectively interact with the product and sales managers, and the engineering, tooling, and manufacturing professionals that work to bring their concepts to market.
