Challenges With Spatial
Powerful 3D Engines
3D ACIS Modeler is the legacy modeler for millions of users for over 35 years. Our next-gen CGM Modeler is the 3D geometric modeling kernel used by Dassault Systemes’ world-leading CATIA V5 and 3DEXPERIENCE platforms. CGM enables direct editing and feature recognition.
High Quality Data Reuse
3D InterOp provides the highest quality data reuse between CAD formats, optimizing 3D CAD files with 3D InterOp Data Prep Instancing. 3D InterOp reads DXF DWG drawings and imports 2D drafting sheets as approval drawings to create a base or underlay for 3D modeling.
Robust 3D Visualization
HOOPS Visualize allows large model visualization, animation, collision detection, and mobile and web visualization. HOOPS Visualize is easy to use and can be combined seamlessly with a Spatial 3D modeler.
Powerful Application Framework
Application Graphics Manager (AGM) is highly favored by robotics customers globally. AGM is developed in partnership with various robotics clients and includes dedicated tabs for arc welding and robotics. These tabs allow users to effortlessly demonstrate arc welding, spot welding, rapid collision checks and inverse kinematics, significantly reducing the time required for application development.

Enhancing CAM-CAD Collaboration
3D InterOp leverages the CGM kernel and native APIs to read and write manyfile formats. Native APIs give your application a superiorquality without requiring a CAD license. Incrementally import CAD data as individual containers, including product structure, tessellated geometry, exact geometry and manufacturing information, as needed by your application workflows.
Advanced Feature Recognition
Automated Feature Identification for Manufacturing
CGM Modeler delivers cutting-edge feature recognition, identifying manufacturing features such as fillets, holes, pockets and pads. CAD applications can then automate design modifications, focusing on efficiency and precision in the manufacturing process.
Direct Editing
Easy CAD Edits
CGM Modeler provides the best in class geometric operators for solid, surface modeling and direct editing. Applications can leverage operators to create the most complex 3D parts and assemblies commonly used in automotive, aerospace and other industries.
