Core Technologie’s Latest SDK Streamlines CAD Workflows Across Platforms

June 16, 2025

Core Technologie has released the latest version of the Software Developer Kit (SDK) 3D_Kernel_IO. The new tool offers CAD interfaces for reading in all important native and standard formats, the option of writing out native formats such as Catia V5 and NX as well as Solidworks and Step 242. Thanks to a new geometry kernel with optimised memory management, the software enables significantly faster loading of all common CAD formats than the previous version.

CAD Interfaces SDK with New Formats

The 3D_Kernel_IO 2025 software fully supports 3D product and manufacturing information for the consistent use of 3D models throughout the entire product lifecycle management (PLM) process. The so-called PMI generated in V5/V6, NX, Creo, Solidworks as well as JT and Step 242 are provided as semantic information and can also be converted into polylines and tessellated curves.

A particular highlight of the new tool is the support of the design history and kinematics information as well as efficient healing functions for checking and improving the data quality as part as the import process. Compared to the previous version, an even more precise and faster tessellation is ensuring the creation of high-quality visualisation models that can be tessellated in any resolution for different requirements.

With the help of standardised queries and C++ functions, information about the BRep geometry, assembly structure, history and parametric as well as PMI and attributes of the CAD models are made available in detail in a standardised data structure.

Support for Various Platforms

The 3D_Kernel_IO 2025 software is programmed in C++ and runs cross-platform on Windows, macOS and Linux as well as in the new version on ARM 64 processors. The architecture enables simple, standardised integration for all supported formats. Developers benefit from an included 3D viewer with source code examples and comprehensive Doxygen documentation.

Role of Smart Sensors in Process Optimization and Factory Connectivity
October 16, 2025
In today’s manufacturing landscape, the sensor is no longer just a passive data collector. As factories become increasingly digital and interconnected, smart sensors are emerging as foundational enablers of process optimization and seamless factory connectivity. They not only measure critical parameters but also analyze, communicate, and even trigger corrective actions in real time, moving quality management from reactive inspection to proactive control.
How Portable Manual Metrology Contributes in an Automating World
October 15, 2025
There is a lot of talk about automation these days, not just in manufacturing circles, but the news in general.

Manufacturing Intelligence – Changing The Face of Quality Control
October 15, 2025
For decades, quality control was the final checkpoint of manufacturinga - line of defense between production and the customer. It was a discipline built around inspection reports, go/no-go gauges, and the belief that catching errors was the best way to ensure quality. But in today’s digital, data-driven manufacturing environment, that paradigm is shifting dramatically. Quality control is no longer an endpoint - it’s becoming the engine room of manufacturing intelligence.
