For application developers in a wide range of industries, including CAM and Metrology/CMM, CGM provides a powerful platform for 3D modeling, supplying functions to create, modify and query objects as well as to support visualization, simulation and analysis. CGM operators provide advanced capabilities to address the most demanding design and modification requirements.

As the 3D modeling kernel used in Dassault Systèmes’ V5 and V6 products, CGM has been the foundation of V5 products for over ten years, proven in the most challenging application environments and used by some of the world’s largest manufacturers. Performance was a key driver in the development of the geometry engine. With its unique memory optimization strategies, CGM has an unparalleled capacity for large data handling. As a result, designing and manipulating of large models is fast and reliable, especially when compared to other commercial modelers.
