Oceans SDK

Oceans SDK is a CAD-independent middleware component technology that allows easy integration of 3D CAD data assets in enterprise applications. Enterprise applications such as PLM, ERP and MRP among others require access to product data that is authored in CAD systems. Currently the only way to access such CAD data is by using expensive royalty-based API's licensed from CAD software ISVs. Oceans SDK provides a single, non-royalty based solution to access product data from all major CAD systems including CATIA V4, CATIA V5, Unigraphics, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Pro/ENGINEER and Autodesk Inventor thus providing enterprise application vendors a significant competitive advantage.
