Informative Graphics Releases Free MYRIAD 3D Reader.

Free 3D CAD Viewer for STL, 3D DWF, VRML, and Secure 3DF with Visual Rights[R]

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Informative Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader in content visualization, collaboration and secure publishing technology, announced today the release of its free MYRIAD[R] 3D Reader. MYRIAD 3D Reader is both a desktop application and an ActiveX component that can be embedded in other programs or run inside web pages in Internet Explorer, Firefox or Netscape.

IGC has included its Visual Rights[R] persistent security technology in the new MYRIAD product line. MYRIAD 8 Service Release 1 (releasing soon) allows users to publish 3D CAD models with added dimensions, cut away or cross section views and changed part colors, then publish to secure 3DF to control what reviewers can do with the model data. Visual Rights include hard or relative expiration dates, password protection and rights restrictions like measure, inside part viewing, printing and copying. Visual Rights are persistent with the model and utilize US export-approved data encryption.

The MYRIAD 3D Reader also opens 3D DWF models, STL files and static VRML CAD models. It can be used commercially for free; however, additional licensing may be required for bundling the MYRIAD 3D Reader into other fee-based software products/services. MYRIAD 3D Reader replaces our popular ModelPress Reader.
