CadFaster|Engine Evaluation SDK is available for developers. Download now!

CadFaster display accelerator technology is available as 3D Engine SDK for CAD/CAE application vendors and other 3D graphics application developers.

CadFaster|Engine includes the highly optimized implementations for both DirectX© and OpenGL 3D APIs. This ensures the best possible end-user experience by releasing the full power of the existing hardware. Also compatibility with Windows Vista© is no more concern with CadFaster|Engine.

SDK

CadFaster|Engine SDK is a COM based software library for 3D application developers. The architecture consists of a high-performance microkernel C++ implementation boosted with template-based design patterns. Integration can be done with two simple COM-interfaces and typically less than five API function calls are needed for complete integration.

The simplified structure of CadFaster|Engine SDK allows the ultimate performance and scalability with high flexibility and integration capabilities. Simply put, this SDK enables the truly interactive performance in graphics when you are developing demanding 3D applications.
