Spatial Releases Rapid Application Development Framework
 BROOMFIELD,
CO, May 12, 2009 - 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 for 3D Development Teams
RADF is designed to meet the needs of today’s 3D software development
organizations. The framework uses modern development technologies: C#, .NET,
and WPF. It provides a fully-customizable graphical user-interface (GUI) for
ready development of application-specific functionality within a
fully-featured commercial application. The framework is easily extendable to
address each application’s specific needs. Unlike source-code starter kits,
RADF is maintained and enhanced by Spatial, which reduces manufacturers’
need for on-going internal development resources and related costs.
RADF for Automated Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers
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’s long history in
the market makes them a natural partner for these manufacturers looking to
develop a differentiated software solution under time-to-market and cost
constraints.”
RADF Key 3D Development Benefits
- Accelerates 3D application development by providing essential 3D
functionality “out-of-the-box”
- Fully customizable user interface for specialized work-flows
- Easily extendible for application-specific capabilities
- Spatial maintained framework offers long-term value and low
maintenance cost
- Integrated support for 3D ACIS Modeler, 3D InterOp and HOOPS
“The introduction of RADF is a direct result of working closely with our
customers to identify ways we can help in their development efforts. Many
industries, especially those with a primary focus on hardware, have limited
development resources and lack 3D software experience. These companies
benefit tremendously from our component offerings, as well as development
services we provide to supplement their current staff,” notes Keith
Mountain, Spatial’s CEO. “As in any market, accelerating time-to-market
remains a key objective for these customers.”
RADF is available with Spatial’s Development Support Package.
