Spatial Delivers R18 of its 3D Software Component portfolio, including ACIS Modeler, InterOp Translators
Denver, CO - November 12, 2007 - Spatial Corp., a market-leading provider of 3D components, today announces the availability of the R18 release of its entire component portfolio, which includes the pervasive 3D ACISŪ Modeler and its extensions, and the industry-leading 3D InterOp CAD translators.
The third-annual CSIA DEMOgala is a full day of Colorado technology innovation, 20-session conference, and a series of events focused on discussions for nearly 1,000 leaders from Colorado's advanced technology industry, culminating with the keynote talk by Armstrong. The event is one of the key events and initiatives created by CSIA, the premiere IT association in Colorado, to increase awareness, showcase the innovation in the state, and create business connections for Colorado technology companies.
As with each Spatial release, the changes in R18 are driven by customer feedback and industry research. The improvements include functional enhancements to key features in ACIS like Blending, Local Operations, and Booleans. InterOp Translators received version upgrades as well as expanded support for Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) and more.
R18 also marks a change in the development process that accelerated production and put in place higher quality control.
"There were a lot of changes between R17 and R18 at Spatial, and not just in our products," said Keith Mountain, CEO of Spatial. "These changes included upgraded internal systems and processes, a new community forum for our customers, and important personnel additions, such as John Alpine as our new VP of Development. These and other elements have come together to build a momentum within Spatial that presents new opportunities for our customers and ourselves."
The following is a partial list of enhancements included in the R18 release:
ACIS
Blending
ACIS users can now create curvature continuous Blends, as well as create large radius Blends in more conditions.
