MEDUSA4 - Philosophy MEDUSA4 was conceived and developed by experienced engineers, it has been optimised to meet the needs of the engineering process. Combining proven strengths with new, innovative functionality was the main goal of our development effort. Compatibility of data, both with earlier MEDUSA versions as well as across platforms is an integral part of the product strategy.
Existing configurations and applications can be integrated into the new MEDUSA4-environment, which together with the new functionality will improve your productivity and efficiency.

MEDUSA4 - Technology

MEDUSA4 is based on a platform independent kernel, ensuring the highest operating system flexibility combined with a platform independent user interface.

Use of modern technology, such as XML configurations for administration and a WEB based client-server communication in data management, ensure a problem free integration of MEDUSA4 within existing infrastructures.

MEDUSA4's enhanced, object oriented mode of operation opens up a new application era for 2D engineering. Product development times become shorter and thus more economic

MEDUSA4 - Features MEDUSA4 Drafting Plus is the modern 2D application for your entire development process. A large number of high performance tools for the creation and processing of geometry are available to the user. 2D objects and Sheet Reference functionality improves the simultaneous processing of data within complex projects. With free selectable dimensioning standards, such as ANSI, BS, DIN, JIS & ISO, manufacturing drawings are created fast and easy - whatever the desired norm. MEDUSA4 - Functions

MEDUSA4 provides you with all the functionality required for creating and modifying drawings which conform to standards. Assembly group functions, for example, enable the automatic creation of hidden lines, which are automatically updated after modifying individual components. 2D features can be applied very efficiently in schematic drawings as well as in profile modifications. Deleting features automatically results in the underlying geometry being repaired. An array of structure management tools improve and simplify the construction process, allowing design intent to be bult into the drawing providing further clarity and transparency in the design process.

MEDUSA4 - Benefits

The customisable and efficiently designed user interface offers significant advantages to beginners as well as experienced users.

Simple and central administration as well as individual customisation of company standards reduces error rates and provides safe and uniform data quality.

The extensively enhanced base package shortens working time through a variety of productivity increasing tools.

High performance import /export Functions ensure smooth communication with third party systems.
