Development Tools

CCE provides software development toolkits for engineering application providers to access native 3D CAD data in their applications without investing in software or licenses of the CAD systems that produced the data. Currently, the only way to achieve this is by licensing expensive royalty-based API's (Application Program Interface) from CAD software ISVs. Apart from the cost, CAD ISVs, more often than not, have a stringent partner selection process and do not license API's to potentially competitive software vendors. This makes CCE's development toolkits an ideal component technology for 3D CAD access in enterprise applications in a cost-effective and hassle-free way. CCE uses its own proprietary technology for these development toolkits, and does not base it on any third-party application/component.

ODX SDK are highly portable object-oriented C++ API to help create interoperable applications. They could be used for enhancing the ability of an application to support multiple CAD formats and hence reach out to a wider customer base, or simply to access CAD data and use in any custom engineering application. ODX is seasoned and well architected and helps achieve complete CAD interoperability with very little effort. ODX is very robust and is currently being used not only internally for CCE products, but also by a number of leading MCAD software ISVs (Independent Software Vendor). Applications developed using ODX are independent of any form of CAD software or licensing. More...
