Press Release Body: CadFaster has launched a new version of CadFaster|QuickStep, a
free and innovative 3D viewer for CAD professionals. CadFaster|QuickStep now enables
the use of 3DConnexion 3D mouses which have become a standard 3D graphics industry.
Using 3D mouse for navigation offers the same ultimate viewing capabilities as the
normal 2D mouse viewing. The viewing tool provides superior image quality and
performance boost without the need for any extra hardware. Viewing the largest 3D
datasets is now possible even with modest hardware. CadFaster|QuickStep is powered
by the CadFaster|Engine which includes the latest software-based polygon reduction
technologies.

CadFaster|QuickStep facilitates the speeding up of design workflow, helping in
sharing large and complex CAD models between designers and reviewers.
CadFaster|QuickStep users benefit from genuinely interactive viewing operations.
Rotation, zooming, panning, and component selections can be performed extremely fast
and without a toolbar or keyboard. The HSF file format offers short document opening
times and, owing to the compressed and fully streamable media format, enables models
to be easily transferred online.

"By supporting the 3DConnexion devices we will expand hardware support for
professional 3D engineers and designers," says Harri Lainio, CEO of CadFaster, Inc.
"Thanks to our fast and unique 3D rendering technology, also the users who have
higly detaljed and complex designs may now benefit from 3D mouse navigation
capabilities. I am very excited how good the results were and how easy the
integration was."

The core technology of CadFaster is available for producers of CAD/CAE, simulation,
animation, visualization and scientific 3D software. The solutions developed for
accelerated 3D display can also be utilized, for example, in other PLM/PDM sector
applications using 3D graphics. The CadFaster|QuickStep 3D viewer is available for
free at: https://ssl.cadfaster.com/shop/quickstep.php.
