The main functions that LCP needs from a 3D kernel is to read and tessellate CAD data into triangular meshes, which are used on the browser side for visualization, navigation, mark-up, and other user interactions. By employing additional data structures, LCP maintains a map between triangular meshes and CAD data, and provides a bi-directional work flow between client and server. Operations done by users on the client side trigger corresponding operations on server side, which modify the 3D model accordingly. Once all operations are done, the CAD and mesh models are saved in users’ spaces on cloud data storage sites for sharing and later reuse.
"We have a long-term partnership with LEDAS, which embodies development, reselling, and several joint marketing activities," said Oleg Zykov, CEO of C3D Labs. "Some of our customers and partners have expressed their interest in the LCP platform developed by LEDAS, and so we consider this integration an advantageous step up in the market. The results demonstrated that the performance from the integration of LCP using our commercial C3D Toolkit — which includes the geometric kernel, a data format converter, and other components — is much better than using open source kernels, if a licensee is really interested in quality and speed. The licensing conditions of C3D Toolkit and LEDAS Cloud Platform are quite flexible and attractive not only for well-established companies, but also for ambitious start-ups."
"LEDAS Cloud Platform is a useful and flexible way to put your CAD applications and functions on the cloud," said Alexey Ershov, CEO of LEDAS. "Having both LCP and C3D on board means that 3D Web capabilities are now combined with powerful 3D modeling functions. This puts customers in the favorable position of developing only those specific functions needed for their solutions, because standard functions are already in place. So customers’ solutions are developed much faster than usual, and at a lower price. If to save money a customer prefers to use an open-source 3D modeling kernel, then it is possible, because LEDAS Cloud Platform is also integrated with an open-source 3D kernel."
