The Definitive Software Development Kit: Read All CADx Interfaces with 3D_KERNEL_IO

3D_KERNEL_IO ensures easy integration; the SDK is based on C++ programming language. One .DLL for all interfaces, means one integration for all formats and functions and can be available in your application within hours.

For software developers building 3D applications, ease of implementation with one DLL, ability to read all major CAD interfaces, with a feature-tree, and to heal the model directly at import is a necessity in the 21st century.

CoreTechnologie’s proprietary Software Development Kit (SDK) – 3D_KERNEL_IO ensures easy integration; the SDK is based on C++ programming language. One DLL for all interfaces, means one integration for all formats and functions and can be available in your application within hours.

With more than 24 CAD interfaces available, and 3D_KERNEL_IO’s precise and fast handling of assembly structures, attributes, and layers as well as entities like points, curves, B-REP solids, skins, and tessellated models ensure accuracy. CoreTechnologie is unique in its ability to read parametric feature trees. In addition, composite, PMI and metadata are directly accessible.

  • HEALING – Unique advanced healing technology to ensure perfect model quality. During the conversion process, 3D models can be adapted to the tolerance and mathematics of the target system to provide exceptional quality. If activated, healing functions will automatically correct failures such as gaps, overlaps, and twisted faces
  • BOUNDING BOX – With this function it is possible to use closed geometries and to generate assemblies or individual bodies of an assembly
  • COMPARE GEOMETRY – Displays variances between 3D geometry
  • LOTAR GVP VALIDATION – This tool has been developed in close collaboration with the aerospace industry to validate CAD data for Long Term Archival and Retrieval (LOTAR)
  • VDA AND SASIG QUALITY CHECK – The certified Product Data Checker verifies all 3D geometries independent of the CAD format. The tool is certified in accordance with SASIG/PDQ and VDA 4955
