CAD Schroer Enhances MPDS4 With HOOPS From Tech Soft 3D

3D Plant Design Software Gains Optimal Graphic Capabilities and Even Wider Platform Support.

MOERS, GERMANY - CAD Schroer, developers of the MPDS4 product suite, and Tech Soft 3D (TS3D), the leading provider of core graphics components to the engineering software industry, announced today that MPDS4, a 3D plant design and 2D/3D factory layout system, is now built with the enhanced capabilities of TS3D's 2D/3D engineering development platform, HOOPS.

"MPDS4 is a plant design and project engineering product suite that offers fast, powerful and flexible large-scale layout, design and assembly capabilities from pre-sales concepts to build order. By including HOOPS within the software we were able to provide significant advantages to our customers. Beyond helping to modernize the interface and graphical capabilities of MPDS4, HOOPS' cross-platform nature enables support on all major platforms, including Windows®, Linux® and Unix®," says Michael Schroer, Founding Director of CAD Schroer.

"Like Tech Soft, CAD Schroer is a company 'by engineers for engineers' so our programmers were extremely pleased to see what CAD Schroer was able to do with HOOPS. We're confident that CAD Schroer customers will enjoy the accelerated graphics capabilities that HOOPS brings to MPDS4," says Ron Fritz, CEO of Tech Soft 3D.
