The company integrated PLM Components so that they would spend fewer resources on reinventing modeling technology that is  available off-the-shelf. Instead they could turn their attention to innovating in mobile CAD. Parasolid was chosen for its superior 3D modeling performance. Licensing the world&#8217;s leading geometric modeling kernel also assured data interoperability with hundreds of other applications based on Parasolid.
