BROOMFIELD, CO, Aug 1, 2024 – Tech Soft 3D and Spatial, a Dassault Systèmes subsidiary, have strengthened their strategic alliance with the goal of driving the engineering industry forward. This enhanced partnership aims to deliver best-in-class technology, fostering rapid application development and solving real-world engineering challenges more effectively.
Most recently, Spatial has chosen to add Tech Soft 3D’s HOOPS Communicator graphics engine for web visualization to its portfolio of components. Spatial’s decision to integrate HOOPS Communicator with its ACIS and CGM 3D modeling kernels and 3D InterOp for data conversion is a testament to the robustness and market leadership of HOOPS Communicator for visualization of engineering data in the browser. This decision follows an extensive evaluation process, and solidifies HOOPS Communicator’s position as the leading web visualization toolkit for the 3D engineering industry. The partnership enables Spatial’s extensive network of customers to seamlessly transition their applications from desktop to the cloud. This move is crucial as the industry increasingly seeks web-based solutions to enhance accessibility and collaboration.
“We’re happy to see the decades-long collaboration between Tech Soft 3D and Spatial grow even stronger,” said Tyler Barnes, president of Tech Soft 3D. “The expansion of our relationship benefits the industry as a whole and aligns with both companies’ goal to empower developers of 3D engineering applications with sophisticated and powerful tools.”
Spatial and Tech Soft 3D have a long history of collaboration. Spatial has integrated HOOPS Visualize with its SDKs since 2000 for the development of desktop applications. This expanded partnership highlights the trust and synergy between the two companies. Spatial’s decision to adopt Tech Soft 3D’s web visualization technology is a significant endorsement, reflecting years of successful collaboration.
“We are excited to deepen our partnership with Tech Soft 3D. Their visualization technology and expertise are unparalleled, and this collaboration will undoubtedly benefit our partners and the engineering community as a whole,” said Jean-Marc Guillard, CEO of Spatial Corp.
Component Tools Are Critical To Rapid Go To Market for Engineering Applications
Tech Soft 3D has been developing HOOPS Communicator since 2012 and it has become the gold standard for publishing engineering applications to the web. For the more than 100 partners we work with, such as Aras, Rapid DCS, and RIB Software, most have viewed HOOPS Communicator as the “only choice” because the technology is “so far ahead of anything else on the market.”
“We’ve been working with the HOOPS Communicator for over six years, and it just works. More importantly, they’ve been adapting it and modifying it to meet our use cases. We’re very picky about who we partner with and Tech Soft CEO Ron Fritz and the team have been outstanding. Their willingness to engage and solve problems together is making a big difference,” said Peter Schroer, CEO, Aras.
