Updated Modeling Kernel
The core of ViaCAD is driven by the ACIS solid modeling geometry engine from Dassault Systems. ACIS is a robust modeling engine that supports wireframe, surface/NURB, solids, direct face editing, and numerous feature operations such as booleans, blends, shells, and warping. ViaCAD 10 updates the underlying modeling engine by two major releases with improvements in the following areas:
• Multithreading of key features
• Booleans
• Constant and Variable Radius Blends
• Direct Face Operations (used for Push/Pull in ViaCAD)
• Shelling

3D Print Tools
ViaCAD now includes an integrated collection of tools to verify your designs are ready for 3D Printing with tools such as:
• Surface Orientation
• Overhangs
• Slice Layer Previews
• Position and Align
• Support Structure Creation
• Surface Orientation
• Overhangs
• Slice Layer Previews
