Spatial Corp
American software company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[citation needed]

In late 2000, Dassault Systèmes purchased Spatial and made it a subsidiary.[citation needed]
Flagship products
The firm's flagship products include these programs:
- 3D ACIS Modeler[1] – features an open, object-oriented C++ architecture that enables robust, 3D modeling abilities.[citation needed] It is a geometric modeling kernel that was developed by Spatial, and is used in industries such as 3Danimation, shipbuilding, and computer-aided design.[2]
- CGM Modeler[3] – the 3D modeling kernel used in Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
- 3D InterOp[4] – CAD data translation framework.
- 3D Visualization – the HOOPS 3D Application Framework[5] enables the development of 3D Visualization applications with advanced 2D and 3D graphics functionality.
- 3D Precise Mesh[6][7] – an object-based software development toolkit providing fully configurable surface and volumetric meshing abilities.
- Constraint Design Solver (CDS)[8] – provides variational constraint solver solutions for design and engineering applications.
