Users of the 3D CAD solution HiCAD are impressed by the unique performance spectrum based on the software kernel developed by the ISD Group, which is the guarantee for innovative CAD techniques - today and in the future. With ever more complex CAD projects, the user is thus optimally equipped for the future.
As early as 1987, the ISD developed its own kernel, the ESM kernel (European Solid Modeller), which gives HiCAD the uniqueness of being able to create 2D drawings and 3D models in one and the same system and to transfer them bidirectionally to each other. With the release of version HiCAD neXt 2008, the kernel has been converted to a consistent use of NURBS technology. The new NURBS kernel supports the latest market-leading technology and can be quickly adapted to individual customer requirements and changing market demands.
The geometry kernel also allows us to accept any requirement in the fields of engineering design, structural engineering and product design. Through years of in-house development and permanent further optimization of the constantly expandable modelling kernel, we have grown to meet the needs of a wide range of industries and are able to react flexibly, quickly and independently to changing market requirements.
