aPriori Licenses Tech Soft 3D's HOOPS for Cost Management
 BERKELEY,
CA and CONCORD, MA, Mar 26, 2008 - Tech Soft 3D (TS3D), the leading provider
of core graphics components to the engineering software industry today
announced that has licensed HOOPS for use in its Product Cost
Management software platform. With HOOPS, aPriori will extend its
capabilities for automatically costing parts and assemblies by allowing
users to view, select and control product cost drivers directly in the
interactive 3D model display.
aPriori's real-time product cost assessments are helping leading
manufacturing and product companies drive significant costs out of their
products prior to production, said Eric Hiller, founder and chief technology
officer at aPriori. Through our partnership with Tech Soft 3D, aPriori is
extending its next-generation costing solution with powerful graphical
capabilities that provide users with an interactive view of the parts and
assemblies being costed.
Ron Fritz, managing partner for TS3D added, aPriori demonstrates that use
of 3D is indeed spreading rapidly into all areas of the manufacturing
process, in this case into Enterprise Cost Management. We enjoy seeing
innovative solutions that use HOOPS as their graphics platform and look
forward to helping aPriori develop and deliver a successful application.
About HOOPS
HOOPS is a set of extensible, high-level components that dramatically
simplifies the design, development and maintenance of high-performance,
interactive 2D/3D applications. HOOPS components provide the technology
building blocks for developers to create custom, high performance
applications capable of driving OpenGL and/or Direct3D. Developers work from
a high level to extend and customize the HOOPS framework, taking advantage
of the power of the underlying set of libraries. Rather than attempting to
re-invent the vast functionality already encapsulated within the HOOPS
product set, developers can focus their development efforts on their true
value-add and build better software faster.
About aPriori
The aPriori Product Cost Management Platform is the first software
solution to provide discrete manufacturers and product companies with
real-time, predictive and precise product cost assessments throughout the
entire development and production process. aPriori's revolutionary cost
management capabilities empower organizations to identify quantifiable
savings in material, tooling, labor and overhead while evaluating
alternative designs, processes and sources. By generating cost assessments
early in the product development process, aPriori customers drive
significant costs out of their products prior to production, reducing cost
of goods sold (COGS) by whole percentage points and improving the overall
financial results of the company.
