Russian 3D core

The project, led by the Minpromtorg order by a team of developers under the leadership of MSTU "STANKIN", has reached the finish line.

On March 27, 2013, it was announced that the next stage of R & D for the creation of a domestic licensed three-dimensional software kernel would be completed. Within the framework of this stage, a fully functional version of the software product was obtained for the first time.

The geometric core of three-dimensional modeling is a software component intended for use as a basic tool in the development of software systems related to accurate computer simulation of physical three-dimensional objects. The final products that can be developed on the basis of such a solution are computer-aided design (CAD) systems, pre-production (CAM), engineering analysis (CAE) and many other engineering software applications. All such systems require an accurate and high-performance tool for working with a model — data generation, storage, recovery, analysis tools, specialized calculations, and much more.

The development of such a software product is part of the program for the development of a national technological base and is necessary for the Russian industry to create innovative products that are competitive in the global market.


The project is carried out under the auspices of the Moscow State Technological University "STANKIN" together with leading CAD companies and universities of Russia. At present, the core of the RGK, the development of which was started in 2011, is at the stage of intensive internal comprehensive testing of the product. At the same time, the customer reviews and resolves issues of maintenance, implementation, licensing, development and building of applications.

Not from the specialized features can be identified:

• Multithreading;
• Using GPU computing;
• Multiplatform.

This development will be competing with market leaders: Parasolid (Siemens PLM Software) and ACIS (manufactured by Spatial Corp. - a subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes).

PS: I am not a member of the project. But the direct participants and kernel developers kindly agreed to answer the questions of Habr users, preparing the article in the next day, two. Leave your questions in the comments.
