"Thanks to the free HOOPS.edu licensing program we were able to take advantage of the HOOPS framework, which significantly reduced our research time and allowed us to focus on implementing the breakthrough haptic interface for CAD applications.”

For Students, Educators and/or Researchers. Tech Soft 3D's .EDU Program for HOOPS® allows students, educators and/or researchers a free license to the full suite HOOPS components for use by or within educational institutions.

  • Focus on Building Your Skills. Through the .EDU Program you gain access to the HOOPS 3D Product Suite:
    • HOOPS
    • HOOPS Stream Toolkit (HOOPS/Stream)

That means you get the same rich graphics, streaming and collaboration component technologies that are used by many of the leading engineering software vendors. As a result, you will be able to focus your efforts on your area of expertise rather than reinventing the functionality found in our libraries. In addition, your educational research project will have commercial-grade performance and functionality.

Hence, you (and your students) will be building marketable programming skills by using the CAD/CAM/CAE industry's most popular graphics toolkit.
