Scottsdale, AZ: May 15th, 2023
Open Design Alliance has officially started development on its new MCAD SDK, the industry’s first open exchange framework for 3D mechanical CAD.
MCAD SDK will support proprietary 3D mechanical formats including Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS® and CATIA®, Siemens® Solid Edge®, PTC® Creo, JT and more. The cross-platform SDK will provide visualization and data access on all major desktop, mobile and web platforms.
"MCAD SDK development is being funded by a coalition of prominent ODA Members,” said Neil Peterson, ODA President. “We're looking for additional partners. The industry sorely needs open and affordable access to 3D design data. With our long-term focus and broad industry support, ODA is uniquely and ideally suited to develop this key technology."
ODA is operating the MCAD SDK project at cost as a service to the industry. For more details see: opendesign.com/products/mcad-sdk.
