Mechdyne Corporation (Marshalltown, IA) introduced the 3D Review Station, an integrated computing, display, and software system that uses new 3D-ready HD televisions to make interactive 3D more accessible in technical application environments.

These new televisions use a DLP smooth picture, diagonal sub-frame sampling format to display stereoscopic images. Mechdyne says its Conduit software is one of the only means by which images created in commercial applications for manufacturing, design, geophysical mapping, medical imaging, and other technical fields can be displayed in fully interactive stereoscopic 3D on these televisions.

The 3D Review Station is a compact, roll-about visualization system for individual and small team collaboration in offices, research labs, and conference rooms. The system includes a 61-in. HD resolution screen, a high-powered 3D graphics workstation, an adjustable wheeled cart, LCD monitor, 3D glasses, and a common handheld game controller for interaction.

Customers can add application support to suit their needs. Available Conduit modules include support for ProENGINEER; SolidWorks; the V5 releases of CATIA, ENOVIA and DELMIA; Solid Edge; Google SketchUp; Autodesk's Maya, AliasStudio, Showcase, 3ds Max, and more.

The included Windows workstation is configured with dual core processors, 8 GB RAM and dual GPUs to handle large simulations and 3D models.
