Spatial Corporation was founded in 1986, and had one main product: ACIS, the first commercially available 3D modeling kernel. Through subsequent years, Spatial added products to its portfolio that enabled independent software vendors (ISVs), mostly in the industries of computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), known as CAD/CAM, to build applications. These components included extensions and updates to the ACIS modeler, visualization products, and acquisitions in translator technology.
In late 2000, Dassault Systèmes purchased Spatial and made it a subsidiary.
Flagship products
The firm's flagship products include these programs:
- 3D ACIS Modeler â features an open, object-oriented C++ architecture that enables robust, 3D modeling abilities. It is a geometric modeling kernel that was developed by Spatial, and is used in industries such as 3Danimation, shipbuilding, and computer-aided design.
- CGM Modeler â the 3D modeling kernel used in Dassault Systèmesâ 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
- 3D InterOp â CAD data translation framework.
- 3D Visualization â the HOOPS 3D Application Framework enables the development of 3D Visualization applications with advanced 2D and 3D graphics functionality.
- 3D Precise Mesh â an object-based software development toolkit providing fully configurable surface and volumetric meshing abilities.
- Constraint Design Solver (CDS) â provides variational constraint solver solutions for design and engineering applications.
