Autodesk acquires free-form modeler T-Splines


San Rafael, Calif.-based Autodesk, Inc., has acquired  technology-related assets from T-Splines Inc., a privately-held surface modeling software company, based in Provo, Utah. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

“The technology acquisition will strengthen our Digital Prototyping portfolio with more flexible free-form modeling and will help achieve even closer integration between industrial design and engineering workflows,” said Buzz Kross, senior vice president, Manufacturing Industry at Autodesk in a statement. “T-Splines technology will benefit designers and engineers that require watertight surfaces for downstream analysis and manufacturing.”

T-Splines develops surface modeling software with optimal control and full industry standard compatibility for industrial designers and CAD professionals. The company develops and markets end-user applications and software development libraries. T-Splines is used throughout computer-aided design (CAD), especially in architectural, marine, jewelry, and consumer products design. One of T-Splines' most popular architecture and engineering products, T-Splines 3 for Rhino gives users T-Splines' freeform tools inside of a NURBS tool like Rhino 3D, allowing users to more easily push, pull and extrude any basic shape or surface.
