Spatial Corporation was founded in 1986, and had one main product:
ACIS, the first commercially available 3D modeling kernel. Through subsequent years, Spatial added products to its portfolio that enabled ISVs mostly in the

industries, to build applications. These components included extensions and updates to the ACIS modeler, visualization products, as well as acquisitions in translator technology.
A significant transformation took place at Spatial when it was purchased by
Dassault Systèmes
Dassault Systèmes SE () (abbreviated 3DS) is a French software corporation which develops software for 3D product design, simulation, manufacturing and other 3D related products.
Founded in 1981, it is headquartered in Vélizy-Villacoublay, F ...
in late 2000. Spatial Corp. became a subsidiary of Dassault Systèmes.
