Tech Soft 3D Supercharges HOOPS Platforms for Developing Web, Desktop and Mobile Engineering Applications

BEND, Ore., March 7, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Tech Soft 3D, leading provider of development toolkits to the engineering software industry, today announces that it has released the 2018 HOOPS® Platforms for creating web, desktop and mobile engineering applications with the launch of HOOPS Native Platform 2018, HOOPS Web Platform 2018 and HOOPS Platform 2018. The three HOOPS platforms power applications with proven 3D technologies, including high-performance 3D graphics, accurate and fast CAD data translation, 3D data publishing, and tight connections to popular modeling kernels.

“The explosion of new technologies such as AR/VR and 3D printing are transforming markets and creating incredible business opportunities as well as challenges for developers of engineering software,” said Ron Fritz, CEO of Tech Soft 3D. “HOOPS Platforms are designed to help development teams quickly get high-performance 3D products to market, even in an environment where development resources are limited, and competition is fierce.”

The world of engineering software and technology, in general, is moving fast and developers are continuously looking for ways to accelerate application development. The use of component technology, like the HOOPS toolkits, is an efficient way to achieve accelerated development without sacrificing quality, and therefore, tight integrations between components is a must. Having each toolkit tightly connected, and the bridges built to connect HOOPS Exchange to Parasolid – including HOOPS Exchange and Parasolid running natively on iOS, and to other important systems, gives software developers a major advantage in their development. They are able to focus on creating the applications they need versus trying to fit together individual SDKs that weren’t architected to work with other SDKs. That advantage allows developers to meet the market demands for accelerating application development on any device, browser, operating system or platform such as AR/VR or 3D printing.  

“Creating successful 3D applications in a competitive market requires proven tools that help you develop better and faster than your competition,” added Gavin Bridgeman, CTO at Tech Soft 3D. “The HOOPS Platforms empower our partners to differentiate their offerings and exceed customer expectations when it comes to fast, accurate data access, high-performance visualization, and seamless 3D data publishing.”
