Spatial Corporation (formerly Spatial Technology Inc.) was founded in 1986, and had one main product: ACIS, the first commercially available 3D modeling kernel. Through subsequent years, Spatial added products to its portfolio that enabled independent software vendors (ISVs), mostly in the industries of computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), known as CAD/CAM, to build applications. These components included extensions and updates to the ACIS modeler, visualization products, and acquisitions in translator technology.^{[citation needed]}

In late 2000, Dassault Systèmes purchased Spatial and made it a subsidiary.^{[citation needed]}

Flagship products

The firm's flagship products include these programs:

3D ACIS Modeler – features an open, object-oriented C++ architecture that enables robust, 3D modeling abilities.^{[citation needed]} It is a geometric modeling kernel that was developed by Spatial, and is used in industries such as 3Danimation, shipbuilding, and computer-aided design.
CGM Modeler – the 3D modeling kernel used in Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
3D InterOp – CAD data translation framework.
3D Visualization – the HOOPS 3D Application Framework enables the development of 3D Visualization applications with advanced 2D and 3D graphics functionality.
3D Precise Mesh – an object-based software development toolkit providing fully configurable surface and volumetric meshing abilities.
Constraint Design Solver (CDS) – provides variational constraint solver solutions for design and engineering applications.
