Let's take a moment to look back at the highlights that shaped 2025 🎯and share a glimpse of what’s ahead as we move into 2026.
Together with our customers, partners, and community, we delivered impactful product updates, showcased real-world success stories, connected at key industry events, and shared valuable technical content across multiple industries. We also welcomed new team members who strengthen our expertise and help shape what’s next. 🚀
Let's dive in!
It was a true honor to take part in two major industry events and connect with customers, partners, and peers shaping the future of manufacturing and robotics.
At EMO, we showcased our latest innovations through interactive demos and meaningful discussions around the future of digital manufacturing. A key moment was our collaboration with COSCOM, demonstrating how the 3D InterOp Data Prep add-on integrates into their new tool management module to streamline manufacturing workflows.
At iREX, we highlighted robotics workflows with a live COBOTTA demo powered by AGM, and exchanged ideas with visitors and partners from across the robotics ecosystem. It was also a great opportunity to reconnect with our customers making this edition especially impactful.
Last year, our customer success stories demonstrated how Spatial SDKs help software teams innovate faster, scale efficiently, and deliver measurable results.
📢 Kawasaki Heavy Industries - We announced our collaboration with Kawasaki Heavy Industries, who selected Spatial SDKs to power neoROSET, their next-generation offline robot programming tool.
🧠 Coreform - Integrated 3D ACIS Modeler and 3D InterOp to eliminate meshing workflows and cut simulation setup time by up to 90%, while improving accuracy.
⚙️ Prototek - Reduced custom manufacturing quoting from hours to seconds without sacrificing precision with Prototek IQ powered by Spatial SDKs.
🌐 TraceParts - Enhanced its web-based CAD platform with
3D InterOp and HOOPS Visualize, delivering fast rendering of 60+ CAD formats for 5M+ users.
🔊 Treble Technologies - Boosted acoustic simulation performance by up to 30% through automated with Spatial Meshing SDK.
☁️ Simus Systems - Brought CAD-based costing to the cloud with
3D InterOp, enabling scalable multi-CAD processing via costing24.com.

🔄 3D InterOp – Latest CAD Format Updates
Expanded support for the newest CAD formats ensured seamless interoperability across modern engineering workflows.
Throughout the year, our teams had the opportunity to meet with customers around the world — both at industry events and during on-site visits. These in-person exchanges strengthen collaboration, support innovation, and reinforce the partnerships at the heart of our shared success.
Matthieu Rostaing joined Spatial as EMEA Regional Director, bringing over 20 years of experience in engineering software to support strategic growth across the region. In North America, James Gray joined as Senior Industry Process Consultant, while Erik Hultgren came onboard as Business Consultant, strengthening customer and partner support. We also welcomed Henrik Matthiesen as a Software Engineer in our CGM Modeler Development team, contributing his expertise in mathematical modeling to our core 3D technologies.
Through our Employee Spotlight series, we highlighted the people behind Spatial’s success. Alfredo Lorenzo reflected on his four-year journey building trust with customers across EMEA, Hemant Bendale shared his path from engineer to trusted customer advisor, and Lance Bennett offered insight into how Spatial aligns support, services, and product to help customers accelerate time to market and build long-term partnerships.
