3D data access and 3D PDF publishing libraries will power next release of popular CAD application

Bologna, Italy and Berkeley, CA – September 18, 2012 – Tech Soft 3D and think3, creator of 2D and 3D CAD design solutions for the manufacturing industry, announce that the latest release of ThinkDesign is integrated with HOOPS® Exchange and HOOPS Publish. ThinkDesign, think3’s advanced parametric CAD system dedicated to solid, surface and hybrid modeling, is scheduled to ship in the third quarter of 2012.

HOOPS Exchange and HOOPS Publish are data access libraries and 3D PDF Publishing SDKs developed by Tech Soft 3D, the leading provider of software development tools to the engineering software industry.  These technologies enhance ThinkDesign’s portability with extensive 3D CAD data access and the ability to output rich, ISO-standard 3D PDF files. With the fastest, most accurate 3D CAD libraries available, think3 will continue to offer its customers outstanding performance and flexibility for easy adoption into a variety of manufacturing workflows. HOOPS Publish enables this design data to be further shared with 3D PDF output using PRC, the native 3D PDF file format, developed by Tech Soft 3D.
