CoreTechnologie has released 3D_Kernel_IO 2025, a new version of its SDK for converting and processing CAD data. The software is aimed at developers who integrate CAD functionality into their own applications and require broad format support, powerful geometry functions and a standardized data structure. New features include native output in Solidworks and Step 242 as well as support for ARM64 platforms.
A central component of the new version is the revised geometry kernel, which offers significantly shorter loading times and increased model accuracy thanks to optimized memory management. The engine allows a wide range of formats to be read and written, including Catia V5/V6, NX, Creo, Solidworks, JT and Step AP242. The SDK also processes semantic PMI data as well as graphical elements such as polylines and tessellated curves – an important aspect for applications in product lifecycle management.
Particular attention is paid to the improved support of model history and kinematics data. This information can be extracted together with the B-Rep geometry, assembly structures and attributes under program control. Healing functions automatically check imported models for inconsistencies and thus enable improved data quality in the early processing stage.
The SDK is developed in C++ and runs cross-platform on Windows, macOS, Linux and, for the first time, on ARM64 systems. Developers have access to an integrated 3D viewer including source code examples and detailed documentation. According to CoreTechnologie, the tool is regularly updated and accompanied by technical support to keep pace with the requirements of modern CAD and AM processes.
