LEDAS Announces Platform for Building Cloud CAD Apps

NOVOSIBIRSK, Russia, Sep 11, 2017 – LEDAS Ltd., a leading provider of software development services for the CAD/CAM/CAE/PDM/PLM market, announces a brand-new cloud platform for 3D modeling. The product is spinned up by robust efforts of LEDAS Labs – the company’s research division dedicated to innovative projects.

LEDAS Cloud Platform (LCP) is a basis for the developing various cloud CAD/PLM and AEC/BIM applications. It combines many typical engineering functions like visualization and authoring 3D models with cloud abilities of dispatching user requests and data storage. While all computations with a 3D model are made on cloud servers, users have access to a representation of the 3D model and can navigate and operate it in web browser-based application by means of WebGL and Typescript/Javascript. The protocols and routines behind LCP provide instant manipulation with models during real-time collaboration, with scalability suitable for big companies. Showcases of LEDAS Cloud Platform will be available this autumn.

“In recent years we have seen a fast-growing demand across many our customers for creating cloud-hosted 3D CAD/BIM applications,” says Nikolay Snytnikov, LEDAS COO. “We have already developed a number of such applications from scratch and accumulated profound expertise in resource-demanding client-server applications. It makes sense for us to generalize the store of experience in a stack of 3D & Web technologies, and offer a licensable cloud platform that can be used for custom development by our customers’ in-house software engineers, or outsourced to the highly professional LEDAS team.”

LEDAS Cloud Platform is most beneficial for those companies, that want their own cloud-based 3D modelling software to be installed in a private or public cloud but prefer to avoid licensing and technological restrictions of the existing cloud CAD. A variety of applications can be built on this platform ranging from MCAD to AEC, including architectural visualization and BIM data management.
