Our Modeling SDK Key Features
Enjoy advanced 3D modeling capabilities with our industry-leading
SDK features.
3D Geometry Modeling and Modification
Accurately create and modify 3D geometry using best-in-class B-Rep operators. These features support surface and solid modeling with robust operations such as Boolean, blending, direct editing, thickening, offsetting and more, catering to both history-free direct editing and history-based CAD applications.
Defeaturing and Simplification
Identify and recognize features such as holes, pads, pockets, fillets, chamfers, depressions, protrusions, blends and more. This feature provides options to control feature detection behaviour, aiding in manufacturing automation and model simplification.
Multi-Platform and Multi-Language Support
Our 3D modeling SDKs are compatible with Windows, Linux and Mac platforms, enabling the development of desktop and web applications. They support highly performant C++ and user-friendly C# languages to deliver optimal application performance.
Performance and Precision Modeling
Maintain high standards in performance and memory management with multi-threaded APIs and support for multi-core platforms. Ensure accuracy for both native and imported models with tolerant modeling to maintain model validity and accomodate tolerances during operations.
Polyhedral Modeling and Analysis
Import and handle polyhedral data from various sources, including medical, terrain and scanned objects. Perform robust operations like Boolean, offsetting, clash detection, decimation and slicing. Repair models by covering holes, stitching facet edges, correcting orientations and eliminating slivers.
