A critical part of PLM software is the graphical support that enables colleagues, partners, and customers to view parts and processes. It is an essential method of communication. Visualization requirements vary with use case and environment. We offer a choice of software development toolkits ensuring our customers their preferred visualization in their application or a web browser.

Sometimes the best part to re-use is the one whose name you do not know. Re-use is an effective way to increase efficiency. Re-use frees resources that can be applied elsewhere. Finding parts is critical to effective re-use, but how do you search with confidence when parts are inconsistently named? You search by shape, the one characteristic similar parts are guaranteed to share. Shape search supports many processes including design, procurement, part management, and classification.
