Modern STEP support for any application
Scottsdale, AZ: October 12th, 2022 – Open Design Alliance (ODA), provider of complete interoperability solutions for CAD and BIM, announced today the first production release of its new STEP SDK (Software Development Kit) for working with STEP data. STEP is the exchange standard defined by ISO 10303 for representing and communicating digital product information. STEP is widely supported by leading mechanical CAD applications as a neutral standard for data exchange.
“Production STEP support is a significant milestone in our plans to broaden the MCAD offerings within the ODA Platform,” said Neil Peterson, ODA President. “Our recent entry to the MCAD market gives us the most modern codebase in the industry. This yields high performance via multi-threading, an advanced feature set including STEP validation, and the ability to quickly adapt our codebase as programming languages and styles evolve over the coming years.
“Unlike monolithic products that were developed decades ago, ODA STEP SDK is well positioned to serve the broader industry for the long term in this environment of rapid change.”
