Spatial Corporation, established in 1986, introduced its pioneering product ACIS, recognized as the first commercially accessible 3D modeling kernel. Throughout its development, Spatial broadened its range of solutions to assist independent software vendors (ISVs), mainly within the computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) sectors. Its suite includes improvements to the ACIS modeling engine, visualization software, and acquired translator technologies.
In the latter part of 2000, Dassault Systèmes purchased Spatial, integrating it as a subsidiary.
