BonZai 3D
auto-des-sys, Inc’s new entrant in the simple but powerful modeling category now dominated by Google’s SketchUp is an offspring of the company’s legendaryform.Z technology. BonZai 3D is meant for quick, easy, simple but, most importantly, geometrically robust 3D modeling.
For those “who wish to express their thoughts graphically in 3D, on the fly, and without too much hassle, and then be able to advance to the next level of detailed solid modeling and production…”
BonZai 3D has resulted from years of experience and research and from more than 15 years of user input. auto-des-sys, Inc, says “you can think of form.Z as the Swiss army knife of 3D modeling and BonZai as the pen knife you carry around to depend on for quick solutions to all kinds of immediate needs.”
