ACIS 3D Toolkit Maintains Dominance as the 3D Modeling Standard; Spatial's ACIS Community Climbs to 575Spatial now has almost three times the number of licensees as its nearest competitor--a testament to the strong demand for ACIS 3D modeling and component products. ACIS(R) 3D Toolkit (ACIS), Spatial's flagship product, is universally recognized as the de facto 3D modeling kernel for building MCAD/CAM/CAE and AEC software applications. ACIS is similar in concept to the Intel processor in your PC. This technology provides the underlying sophisticated mathematical routines that enable the most popular applications to build 3D Models. For over 13 years, ACIS has maintained its market dominance by having the greatest market penetration of any 3D modeling kernel. It is the underlying 3D technology that powers 221 end-user applications and is used by over 1.8 million end users. These end users--designers, engineers, manufacturers, architects--use ACIS-enabled applications to create accurate 3D solid models, a critical function in the process of turning product ideas into reality. "Five-hundred-and-seventy-five ACIS licensees affirms the extensive impact ACIS enjoys in today's design engineering marketplace, and Spatial's continued drive in delivering the quality geometric modeling for today's sophisticated design engineering applications," said Dr. Ken Versprille, program manager, design creation and validation, D. H. Brown Associates, Inc. Recent licensees include Cornerstone Technology, DP Technology, Electric Boat, Futaba, Mechanical Dynamics, and Orbit Technology, Pointwise, REMCOM, Sensable Technology, Teksoft, Toyota Caelum, Toyota Motor Corporation, UNOCAD srl, and several University and research licensees. Flagship ACIS licensees include Alias|Wavefront, Alibre, Ashlar, Autodesk, and CADKEY. "Spatial's 575th ACIS license is indicative of the broad acceptance the company is finding for its component software," said David Weisberg, publisher, Engineering Automation Report and A-E-C Newsletter. "I believe that the decision to license a geometric kernel depends upon more than just the functionality and quality of the basic software. Application developers want and need to know that the vendor of modeling software can also provide other necessary components and can do so with business terms that are mutually beneficial. Spatial has done an outstanding job in recent years to meet these needs." "Reaching the milestone of 575 ACIS 3D Toolkit licensees confirms ACIS as the industry standard 3D modeling kernel worldwide," said Charlene Hoffman, vice president of marketing and strategic relationships, Spatial Inc. "With the recent Dassault Systemes acquisition announcement and our joint focus on product quality, we're confident our aggressive R&D investments will continue to serve the MCAD/CAM/CAE community and strengthen our unsurpassed technology leadership position."
