aPriori to Enhance Design-to-Cost Software Solution with Tech Soft 3D’s HOOPS Graphics Platform
Tech Soft 3D (TS3D) announced that aPriori has licensed HOOPS for use in its Product Cost Management software platform. With HOOPS, aPriori will extend its capabilities for automatically costing parts and assemblies by allowing users to view, select and control product cost drivers directly in the interactive 3D model display.
“aPriori’s real-time product cost assessments are helping leading manufacturing and product companies drive significant costs out of their products prior to production,” said Eric Hiller, founder and chief technology officer at aPriori. “Through our partnership with Tech Soft 3D, aPriori is extending its next-generation costing solution with powerful graphical capabilities that provide users with an interactive view of the parts and assemblies being costed.”
Ron Fritz, managing partner for TS3D added, “aPriori demonstrates that use of 3D is indeed spreading rapidly into all areas of the manufacturing process, in this case into Enterprise Cost Management. We enjoy seeing innovative solutions that use HOOPS as their graphics platform and look forward to helping aPriori develop and deliver a successful application.”
