Hawk Ridge Systems and Exxar Collaborate to Add Virtual Reality Software to their 3D Design Portfolio

Hawk Ridge Systems, a leading provider of 3D design, manufacturing, and 3D printing solutions, has partnered up with Exxar, a leader of 3D meetings and CAD collaboration. The partnership provides companies with an enterprise-grade, low-cost SAAS platform for conducting 3D meetings for product design, sales, and training.

Exxar's immersive meeting platform combines the ease of use and familiarity of Zoom technology with an impressive physical meeting experience. SOLIDWORKS 3D CAD models can be represented as virtual prototypes, with stakeholders represented as virtual avatars. Users are given safe access to the latest version of the SOLIDWORKS asset with collaborative access available on every hardware device, including desktops, mobiles, and even AR/VR devices.

This technology overcomes the limitations caused by the pandemic, enabling stakeholders in the design and engineering community to meet cost-effectively for product development and project decision making.

"We're very excited to work with Exxar," says Glenn Whyte, Director of Product Management at Hawk Ridge Systems. "For many years, we've been watching the progress of extended reality solutions and have been fascinated with the innovations that Exxar has developed for viewing and discussing 3D models in an entirely different way."

"With their reputation, capabilities, and scale, Hawk Ridge Systems is an excellent partner for us in the US and Canada," says Exxar CEO Praveen Bhaniramka. "Their investment in 3D printing sales, service, and support, as well as their commitment to their SOLIDWORKS customer base, was a key factor in the partnership decision."
