CAx Systems

We have many years of experience in developing and prototyping CAD systems. Our expertise covers most areas in this field. We have in-depth knowledge

  • in the use of CAD kernels such as ACIS, OpenCascade, SMLib, …
  • in standardized data interfaces such as STEP or IFC
  • in CAD programming interfaces of common CAD systems (CATIA, UG, PRO/E, SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD, …)
  • in parametric data exchange between different CAD systems using a custom-defined standard as well as emerging standard interfaces (STEP)
  • in the general architecture and development of CAx systems

We often base our work on our in-house development, ClassCAD.

ClassCAD

ClassCAD is an object-oriented CAD operating system developed at the former FHS St. Gallen (since 2020 Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences (OST). With ClassCAD, industry-specific CAD software can be developed in a short amount of time. Classes or features developed with ClassCAD are implicitly parametric and offer a wide range of basic CAD functionality. ClassCAD is available as a standalone application or as a plugin for various CAD systems such as UG, Pro/E, Inventor, AutoCAD, and others.
