3D Framework: The fastest and most portable precise geometry, graphics, and MBD libraries
Ready for the next step
The Kubotek Kosmos 3D Framework modeling kernel gives your development team maximum performance and interoperability for what you're building now and what you're building next.
The 3D Framework is an interoperability kernel designed to solve the most challenging problems around hosting and processing CAD data
Universal Database
The unique Kosmos universal database preserves the data structures of complex boundary representation (B-rep) surfaces from all major platforms. This redundant surface definition strategy maintains higher data fidelity than the forced conversion to a single set of definitions required by traditional kernels.
Variable Precision
The absence of a pre-determined tolerance standard enables the greatest preservation of all models' original geometry, even when you are managing models from different MCAD platforms (with inherent tolerance differences).
Unified API
The 3D Framework's extensive offering of CAD file read and write translators are all part of the same application programming interface as all the rest of the modeling and graphics functions. This reduces developer learning curve and data conversion coding.
Upcycle Models
Kosmos was designed to support all types of basic 3D data and optionally improve the quality & type classifications, re-stitch and heal B-rep bodies, and automatically find geometric patterns and features (machined holes, fillets or chamfers) across faces.
Support For Open Files:
Standard STEP, IGES, JT, and IFC files
ACIS SAT and Parasolid X_T kernel formats
Support For Proprietary Parts & Assemblies:
Dassault CATIA and SolidWorks
Siemens NX and Solid Edge
PTC Creo
Autodesk Inventor and AutoCAD
Ability to Support:
B-rep solids & surfaces
Meshes, points, curves, planes, and vectors
Dimensions, annotations and metadata
Entity Creation
Comprehensive geometry and annotation definitions enable cohesive digital product definition
Recognizing the relation of curves to form a solid regardless of what sequence they were generated is just one example of the Framework's advanced development.
All the Geometry
Kosmos includes complete support for creation of CAD curves and surfaces, swept and primitive solids, backed by construction objects such as points, planes, and vectors. Mesh approximations are generated by tessellation of B-rep bodies.
Annotations and Drawings
Traditional modeling kernels are focused on geometry only. 3D Framework support for dimensions, notes/labels, sematic tolerances, and metadata provides a one-stop library for full digital product and model-based definitions.
Beyond the Physical
We deliver your team the mathematical sophistication to work with zero-dimensional and non-manifold bodies excluded in some systems. We didn't want to impose limits on our partners: the 3D Framework is ready for your big ideas.
Miles to Microns
The 3D Framework's variable precision system accommodates building at any precision level at any scale. There's no fixed unit of measurement making data in specialized applications difficult to process.
Performance
Architected to enable next-gen apps to deliver dramatic speed improvements
True multi-threaded processing makes the 3D Framework exceptionally fast at calculations for functions like slicing.
True Multi-Threading
Kosmos started with fundamental threading architecture choices that enable it to run faster than kernels developed before the advent of multi-processor hardware. For your next 3D project, unlock the full calculation potential of multi-processing - free of mutex locks needed to support static and global variables.
We dedicate significant effort to keep our code libraries light. Your users will get greater performance on whatever hardware they run: our libraries' dramatically smaller memory footprint frees more RAM for processing. Crunching precise 3D data has never been faster.
Portability
Ready to expand with you to new platforms or markets
The next-gen architecture optimizes client/server interaction to enable complex modeling & related data be handled on the client side. Build for where things are going
Maximum Flexibility
3D Framework libraries provide native support for Windows, Mac, Linux & Android from workstations to mobile devices
Cloud-Ready
The first commercially-available cloud-ready geometry kernel is ready for you to take your next project anywhere, from server-based to ultra-light web-embedded code
Complete Unicode
Enjoy the versatility of complete Unicode support for fast localization to almost any language
C/C++ & .NET
Easily integrate 3D Framework with your existing code, using C/C++, Python, and .NET (C#) programming interfaces
Developer Notes
Comprehensive trace-ability features like built-in memory tracking with allocation line number, a pointer-free API, and bi-directional attribute-object lookup
100% automated test coverage, weekly releases, and fast turn-around for fixes
End-user application licensing component
Functional sample viewer programs (MFC and Qt based) for use in initial testing or as the base of a quick application
Optimal condensed KCM file format, proprietary to our universal database, allows for simple database save and restore
