  8. About Spatial


As we close the first quarter of 2026, we are pleased to share our latest updates with you. πŸš€

This quarter, we continued to deliver on our commitment to being your most trusted 3D SDK partner - publishing new technical content, celebrating customer success stories, welcoming new talent to our team, and connecting with the engineering community at key industry events around the world.

We also have exciting events coming up in the months ahead, and we hope to see you there. Here is everything that happened at Spatial this quarter πŸ‘‡


πŸš„ Stuttgart Insider Express Roadshow

On April 16, we welcomed customers and partners at Memox Stuttgart for the first European stop of the Spatial Insider Express Roadshow.

A full day of product roadmap updates, technical deep-dives, customer discussions and workshops, followed by an evening of celebration and dinner.

From AGM demos and AI opportunities to the 3D ACIS Modeler Workshop and 3D InterOp technical sessions, attendees had the opportunity to connect directly with Spatial's leadership and engineering experts in an intimate and collaborative setting.

A huge thank you to everyone who made the trip to Stuttgart! The tour continues, stay tuned for the next stop. πŸ“


🀝 Customer Success Stories

This quarter, we published three new case studies showcasing how industry leaders build on Spatial SDKs to solve real engineering challenges.


βš™οΈ COSCOM: CNC Digital Twins at Scale

Through a 20+ year partnership with Spatial, COSCOM evolved its CNC simulation platform to achieve up to 47% reduction in geometry complexity while preserving critical features for collision detection, powered by 3D ACIS Modeler, 3D InterOp and Data Prep Add-On.

πŸ“ Latest From Our Blog

This quarter, our engineering experts published new technical content across CAD interoperability, robotics and simulation.

  • Healing in 3D Interoperability : Discover why a perfect-looking 3D model can still fail downstream and how healing makes true CAD interoperability possible.

  • Robot Offline Programming: See how the full OLP tech stack explained, from CAD import and TCP generation to collision detection and path planning.

  • Boundary Layers for Fluid-Flow Simulations: See how hybrid meshing strategies enable accurate, robust CFD simulations with Spatial's CSM/CVM.

  • Why Consistent CAD Translation Requires More Than Just Reading Files: Discover what consistent CAD data exchange really requires and how to build it into your application without years of maintenance burden
