BEND, OR, Apr 29, 2015 – Tech Soft 3D today announces the release of two high-performance platforms designed to give developers full access to integrated HOOPS toolkit functionality. HOOPS Cloud Platform and HOOPS Desktop Platform combine market-leading 3D technologies for CAD data exchange, visualization and 3D PDF creation, along with tight connections to popular modeling kernels. Now with a single licensing fee, these new offerings are the most cost-effective way to leverage the full spectrum of HOOPS functionality for both existing applications and future development projects.

“An important challenge our partners face today is connecting different components within their applications. For example, fast translation times are useless if the model cannot then be displayed quickly in the graphics system. Or an advanced 3D PDF is only useful if the source 3D data it displays has been translated accurately,” says Gavin Bridgeman, Tech Soft 3D VP of products. “We develop truly complementary technology because leveraged together, our integrated platforms are greater than the sum of our individual toolkits – as so many of our customers have already realized.”
