A line segment is a basic geometric object most widely used in drawings or sketches. Can you guess, how many math representations a segment has? While you’re counting, let me tell you how C3D Solver handles segments, and about the new option: degenerate segments. Please note that the term “degenerate”...
Alexander Alakhverdyants introduces innovations in the 2D and 3D solvers developed by the C3D Solver team. What are the solvers? Solvers are software libraries that apply relationships to geometric objects. We call these relationships “constraints”. There are two types of constraints: logical (tangent,...
The nanoCAD platform, which can model even the most complicated products, now uses the C3D Labs geometric kernel. Nanosoft has switched to the C3D Labs geometry kernel from a component from an international vendor. The kernel is an integral part of the CAD platform. It does the math for 3D object...
The annual C3Days 2023 Developer Conference was held on May 25-26, 2023. A new version of C3D Labs key product, C3D Toolkit 2023, was unveiled there. The C3D Modeler geometric kernel, the C3D Solver parametric solver, the C3D Converter data converter kit, and the C3D Vision visualization module are ...
Recently, we introduced distance interval dimensions in our article on new tools in C3D Solver 2023’s parameterization module. This is a subtype of driving dimensions, but with several differences. So, in this post we describe the differences between interval and driving dimensions. As a bonus, we are...
In this note, we are focusing on two new features in our C3D Solver 2022 constraints module, and demonstrate how to use them with code fragments. The constraint manager includes two- and three-dimensional solvers that allow you to impose a variety of constraints on bodies in both 2D and 3D space....
03 August 2022 – 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...
ASCON recently shipped a new version of its KOMPAS-3D mechanical design CAD program. For us at C3D Labs, it is a significant product. For many years now, KOMPAS-3D has been one of the most important projects which provides our team with engineering tasks. KOMPAS-3D v21 was developed by ASCON...
Moscow, Russia: August 16, 2021 – C3D Labs is pleased to announce the release today of C3D Toolkit 2021, a major update to its software development kit (SDK). It is used by developers of software in many areas of engineering and design. Today’s release offers significant enhancements in all modules...
Computer-aided design systems such as MCAD, BIM, and EDA have basic functions, as well as discipline-specific ones, based on components often provided by third parties. Components include data converters and the geometric kernel, and are responsible for functions like reading and writing of files, user-interactions...
