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.[citation needed]

Spatial was purchased by Dassault Systèmes in late 2000 and became a subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes.[citation needed]

Flagship products

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

  • 3D ACIS Modeler[1] - features an open, object-oriented C++ architecture that enables robust, 3D modeling capabilities.[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 capabilities.
  • Constraint Design Solver (CDS)[8] - provides variational constraint solver solutions for design and engineering applications.
