C3D Labs releases C3D Toolkit 2022 for engineering applications

By Bhalchandra Chorghade, Editor, CNCTimes.com

C3D Labs is pleased to announce the release of C3D Toolkit 2022, a major update to its software development kit (SDK). The SDK is used by independent software firms to create and enhance their design and engineering programs for computer-aided design (CAD), manufacturing (CAM), and engineering (CAE), among others.

The 2022 release features new and improved tools for 3D surfaces, solids and polygonal modeling, 3D sheet metal design, 3D Web visualization, and parametrization. It offers significant enhancements in every one of the modules in the toolkit.

Together, the modules provide a complete solution for building 3D design applications for desktops, mobile, clouds, and the Web.

C3D Labs added new capabilities to the C3D Toolkit 2022 after we assessed the needs of modern design software in many industries. The new functions are useful in classic CAD, CAM, and CAE systems, as well as with software in newer fields, such as building information modeling (BIM), virtual reality (VR), 3D scanning, and digital manufacturing. We have customers in all of these fields using our toolkit for their software.

While planning the 2022 release of C3D Modeler geometric kernel, the company decided to focus on the area of complex surface modeling, which is considered the high-end of CAD functionality. Adding complex surfaces paves the way for C3D to solve design tasks for the aerospace and shipbuilding industries.

Recently, it presented in our blog a new function related to median shelling. Previously, we could model such surfaces only for pairs of faces equidistant from each other; in the new version, however, we implemented the ability to construct shells from non-equidistant pairs of flat faces. The resulting mid-surface is constructed equidistantly from the parent faces, as shown by the figure below.

Traditionally, functions related to the surfaces of conic sections undergo significant improvements in each new version of our geometric kernel. This time is no different: we implemented the ability to construct surfaces that are minimally-stressed and tangent to two sets of faces. These improvements expand the scope of surfaces of conic sections that will be helpful in modeling complex contours of structures, such as those used in aircraft, ship, and turbine designs.
