ShapeManager under development

1 April 2002

Autodesk has starting development of a dedicated 3D modelling kernel, named Autodesk ShapeManager, to be incorporated in its mechanical design software, Autodesk Inventor, and other Autodesk design software. Autodesk ShapeManager will give users the ability to build and modify complex virtual models, which require sophisticated mathematical computations to define and communicate three-dimensional design intent.
"Our goal is to enable customers to design more complex parts, and to provide increasing application stability and performance," says Errol Ashwell, managing director of Autodesk Africa. "Managing our own kernel development will give Autodesk's mechanical design software an edge in the market that no competitor can match and reinforces our commitment to the manufacturing marketplace. Our customers will see improved robustness, geometry coverage, and performance."
The Autodesk ShapeManager will be based on the ACIS 7.0 kernel licensed by Autodesk from Spatial Corporation.
