Flash File Recovery
$49.5 - PANTERASoft.Com

Need a sure solution for recovering lost, corrupted or accidentally deleted photographs? Flash File Recovery is a 100% risk-free application that salvages images from digital cameras or flash memory cards. The program first scans selected storage media, identifying all recoverable photographs. It then displays them as thumbnails. After you register the program, you'll be able to save the recovered files to your hard-drive. Therefore, you never risk buying a product that won't recover the images you need to restore. It's really that simple, but by no means primitive. Quite the opposite. Consider this - besides processing digital camera drives, Flash File Recovery can read all popular flash cards, including but not limited to SmartMedia, CompactFlash, Memory Stick, MicroDrive, xD Picture Card Flash Card, PC Card, Multimedia Card, Secure Digital Card. While other similar applications mostly recover only images stored in common file formats like JPEG or TIFF, Flash File Recovery can restore RAW image files like Canon CRW, Nikon NEF, Kodak DCR and other proprietary file formats of popular camera manufacturers. Finally, Flash File Recovery isn't just a solution for digital photograph salvaging. The program can also recover lost AVI, MOV, MPG/MPEG and other files from formatted, damaged, unreadable or defective flash storage media. All these great features are available for 50 US Dollars, about two and a half times cheaper than comparable applications with similar choice of features and capabilities. But, unlike them, Flash File Recovery salvages the files first, lets you see them and only then prompts you to register the program.

3DS Import for SolidWorks
$195 - SYCODE

3DS Import for SolidWorks is a 3D Studio® (.3ds) file import add-in for SolidWorks®. This add-in gives SolidWorks the ability to import geometric data from 3DS files.

3DS Import for SolidWorks reads polygon mesh data stored in 3DS files and imports it into SolidWorks. A polygon mesh in a 3DS file is comprised of a set of triangular faces. 3DS Import for SolidWorks creates trimmed planar surfaces for each triangle and knits them together to create a body. If the polygon mesh is closed (i.e. it does not contain boundary edges) then 3DS Import for SolidWorks will create a closed body feature, otherwise an open surface will be created.

3DS Import for SolidWorks is very easy to use as it adds new commands to SolidWorks. It also adds a submenu to the SolidWorks menu called "3DSImport".

The '3DSImport' submenu consists of the following commands:
# Import - Import a 3DS file
# Help - Display the 3DS Import for SolidWorks help file
# Register - Register your copy of 3DS Import for SolidWorks
# About - Display the 3DS Import for SolidWorks About box

3DS Import for SolidWorks comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.


The 3DS File Format

The 3DS file format is the native file format of 3D Studio. 3D Studio has now been replaced by 3ds Max whose native file format has a .max file extension. However, 3ds Max is still able to read and write .3ds files. 3ds Max is one of the most widely-used off the shelf 3D animation programs. It has strong modeling capabilities, a flexible plug-in architecture and a long heritage on the Microsoft Windows platform. It is mostly used by video game developers, TV commercial studios and architectural visualization studios. It is also used for movie effects and movie pre-visualization.
