Bend, OR -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/23/2016 -- Tech Soft 3D today announces the release of HOOPS Communicator 2016, an easy-to-deploy developer toolkit that allows engineers to view and deeply integrate CAD data directly within their browser-based applications. Users will find that HOOPS Communicator has been completely revamped to support even the largest, most complex models with a high-performance and engineering-focused graphics kernel at its core. Other major enhancements include full streaming of model data, allowing for near instantaneous viewing and interacting with data-sets of all sizes as well as a highly scalable server architecture. Developers can also now author their own data directly with a new data authoring component.

HOOPS Communicator 2016 provides two main ways to stream data to the client. The first is intelligent streaming which requires no manual intervention while the second is selective, on-demand loading, which allows clients to initiate streaming of individual parts or subassemblies of a complex model or quickly display different assembly configuration on-the-fly. Streaming allows users to access models before they are completely loaded – a crucial time-saver when working with large and complex data sets.

The server component of HOOPS Communicator has been designed to facilitate a high degree of scalability and easy integration into any cloud architecture.

HOOPS Communicator's new streaming file format enables data to be streamed and loaded into a web browser, and even contains precise geometry data allowing users to make exact measurements. A new data authoring API supports complex workflows like model editing and creation, while support for "shattered" workflows gives the option to incrementally update complex assemblies.

"With HOOPS Communicator 2016, we reimagined what could be done with cloud-based engineering applications," says Guido Hoffmann, HOOPS Communicator Product Manager. "HOOPS Communicator now combines sophisticated graphics performance, advanced streaming capabilities, and model editing functionality so that even demanding and large-scale data sets can be accessed and viewed on the web with speed and ease."
