iBase-t Chooses HOOPS Exchange for Model-Based Enterprise

Tech Soft 3D, provider of engineering software development toolkits, announces that iBase-t, the company that helps simplify how complex products are built and maintained, has chosen to integrate HOOPS Exchange, a CAD import and export library, into iBase-t’s Solumina iSeries Manufacturing Operations Platform.

The integration will provide discrete manufacturers the ability to collaborate on 3D digital models and designs in virtually any CAD format, for adopting a model-based enterprise. Leveraging HOOPS Exchange within Solumina, iBase-t customers will be able to view, interrogate, modify and publish models from partners in more than 30 CAD and engineering data formats.

“We look forward to working with Tech Soft 3D to provide our Solumina customers with improved access to CAD data,” says Sung Kim, chief product and technology officer at iBase-t. “The HOOPS Exchange integration will enable our customers to extend the value of 3D digital models beyond the design phase, into the downstream production process and throughout the product lifecycle.”

iBase-t provides digital manufacturing and sustainment solutions that drive innovation for complex discrete manufacturers in the aerospace and defense, electronics, industrial equipment, medical device, nuclear, space and shipbuilding industries. The company helps customers on their model-based enterprise (MBE) journeys.

“Tech Soft 3D and iBase-t have a shared mission for helping companies succeed in model-based engineering, and ultimately becoming efficient model-based enterprises through the use of powerful digital tools, purpose built for engineering and production workflows,” says Eric Vinchon, vice president of Product Strategy at Tech Soft 3D.
