3D Generative Design
Build the generative design software of the future with Tech Soft 3D’s powerful SDKs. Our toolkits provide the foundation for applications that explore thousands of design possibilities, quickly and intelligently.
Generative design is transforming the engineering landscape by enabling software to automatically explore hundreds, even thousands, of design solutions upfront. Unlike traditional linear design processes, generative design defines performance goals and constraints first, then uses advanced algorithms such as topology optimization and parametric modeling to generate optimized geometries.
Tech Soft 3D’s SDKs provide the foundation for this new generation of design software. From importing complex CAD and CAE models to powering solver-driven iterations and delivering high-quality 3D visualizations, our tools help you accelerate development, reduce costs, and gain a competitive edge in the generative design market.
Generative design applications require the ability to import both 3D CAD and CAE data to power algorithms and train AI-driven models. Whether you're generating initial design variations or feeding learning systems, high-quality input data is essential.
HOOPS Exchange provides rich, accurate CAD data with the ability to import over 30 native CAD file formats, including SOLIDWORKS, Catia, Creo, and NX, and interoperable standards like STEP, IGES, and JT.
For simulation workflows, HOOPS Access provides robust access to CAE data, including simulation results and pre-processed meshes.
Generative algorithms require robust tools to define and solve simulation models efficiently. HOOPS Solve offers a complete set of developer tools designed to accelerate the development and implementation of these algorithms. With its extensive range of linear algebra and matrix tools, along with interactive linear and eigen solvers, HOOPS Solve streamlines the process of creating and optimizing generative algorithms.
Most CAD and CAM software rely heavily on a solid modeling kernel for model creation, refinement, and machining operations. Over 50% of today's 3D computer-aided technologies utilize Siemens Parasolid, the top modeling kernel. As the exclusive reseller of Parasolid, Tech Soft 3D provides seamless integration with many of our toolkits, facilitating rapid application development.
For polygon-based data models or 3D printing workflows, we resell Machineworks Polygonica, the leading polygonal and mesh modeling toolkit. Like Parasolid, Polygonica integrates directly with many of our existing SDKs, ensuring efficient development and implementation.
Visualization plays a key part in generative design workflows, not just for viewing the models, but also for simulating and evaluating the performance of generated designs. HOOPS Visualize delivers high-performance, interactive 3D graphics for engineering software across desktop, mobile, and web platforms. For simulation workflows, HOOPS Envision offers an all-in-one SDK for CAE data import, analysis, visualization, and reporting. Both are robust solutions to support your application’s needs.

Typically, most partners will choose one SDK over the other. Both are powerful visualization engines but serve different needs. If you need visualization only for your CAD models, HOOPS Visualize is the best choice. For simulation heavy workflows typical in generative design that require simulation visualization, HOOPS Envision is the ideal choice.
