Spatial Corp

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 ISVs mostly in the CAD/CAM industries, to build applications. These components included extensions and updates to the ACIS modeler, visualization products, as well as acquisitions in translator technology.

Spatial was purchased by Dassault Systèmes in late 2000 and became a subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes.

Flagship products
Among the company's flagship products are the following programs.


 * 3D ACIS Modeler - features an open, object-oriented C++ architecture that enables robust, 3D modeling capabilities. 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 - the 3D modeling kernel used in Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.


 * 3D InterOp - CAD data translation framework.


 * 3D Visualization - the HOOPS 3D Application Framework enables the development of 3D Visualization applications with advanced 2D and 3D graphics functionality.


 * 3D Precise Mesh - an object-based software development toolkit providing fully configurable surface and volumetric meshing capabilities.


 * Constraint Design Solver (CDS) - provides variational constraint solver solutions for design and engineering applications.
