Rapid Application Development Framework Accelerates Manufacturers’ Time-to-Market

Automated Machinery Manufacturers Benefit from 3D Development Tool

BROOMFIELD, Colo - Spatial Corp., a leading provider of 3D development software components for engineering, design and manufacturing applications, announces immediate availability of its Rapid Application Development Framework (RADF) to accelerate 3D application development and improve time-to-market for software providers and software-enabled machine manufacturers. RADF provides an application infrastructure, essential 3D functionality, and an extensible framework for rapid development of ACIS-based applications. RADF, together with Spatial’s 3D development components, provides a jump start for the development of specialized software with fewer internal resources, and lower development and maintenance costs.

RADF is a natural 3D development solution for the automated machinery and equipment market. These manufacturers produce software-enabled machinery for tasks such as metal working, metal cutting, and robotics. For these companies, RADF provides a foundation for specialized applications that are designed to optimize end-users’ specific work-flows, shortening the learning curve and increasing their productivity. Spatial’s software components enable development resources within these industries to maintain focus on adding product-specific capabilities, rather than re-inventing basic 3D modeling infrastructure, data exchange, and 3D visualization capabilities.

“Given the pervasiveness of 3D models within product design, it is becoming increasingly important for manufacturing to also work in 3D in order to further productivity gains. This requires machine manufacturers to develop software that supports machine programmers’ and operators’ specialized workflows, rather than a designer’s workflow,” stated Dr. Ken Versprille, CPDA Partner, PLM Research Director.

Spatial Corp., a Dassault Systèmes S.A. (Nasdaq: DASTY) (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA), is a leading provider of 3D development software components for technical applications across a broad range of industries. Spatial’s 3D modeling software, HOOPS 3D visualization software, and CAD translation software components help application developers deliver market-leading products, maintain focus on core competencies, and reduce time-to-market. Spatial 3D components have been adopted by some of the world's most recognized software developers, manufacturers, research institutes, and universities.
