Testimonials
We invite you to read what analysts, happy customers and Tech Soft 3D partners have to say about our products and services:
"HOOPS has helped us to provide a far richer visual experience for our users of MeasurLink Real-Time PLUS. With HOOPS we’re able to handle 3D models and extensive PMI annotations in the same scene, providing production and engineering a real-time view of their process performance and capability. Tech Soft’s support, consulting and overall responsiveness have been a great help to us as we continue to rapidly evolve our software offerings.”

“Our applications are graphically-intensive in nature – we simulate the details of fluid flow around complex 3D geometry. It’s critical that we provide our end-user analysts with high-fidelity, high-speed, real time visualization and HOOPS has been our graphics engine of choice for many years. In addition we are using Tech Soft’s HOOPS library with our soon-to-be-released ground-breaking simulation pre-processing tool and are pleased with the level of performance even on the very largest 3D models.”

"LK chose to license HOOPS for its ease-of-use, power and rich functionality. Our users were asking for a significantly enhanced visual product with superior performance and file load-speeds and HOOPS enabled us to quickly deliver on that request. With HOOPS we were able to ship a significantly enhanced version of CAMIO Studio."
Charlie Edgington
Software Business Director
LK, Ltd.
"Although it is behind the scenes, HOOPS is a vital part of just about every major and minor graphical mechanical engineering software package - CAD, CAM, and CAE. Without them, the engineering software market (for better or worse) would almost certainly not be where it is today. The features of Release 10.0 are interesting, but so are the platforms supported, including Mac OS X and Tablet PC."
