Executive summary
The hardest CAD kernel development challenges — robustness, performance, topology — and practical ways past them. Audience: CAD kernel architects and geometry engineering leads.
If you stay generic
- Numeric robustness fails on real customer dirty geometry
- Topology bugs surface late in assembly and boolean operations
- Performance regresses when APIs hide allocation and healing costs
If you commission custom work
- Build a golden-model regression suite before feature breadth
- Separate modeling, healing, and tessellation responsibilities
- Gate releases on robustness and performance budgets
Why this topic shows up in discovery calls
Teams contact Hendoi when licensed kernels, brittle geometry, or slow visualization block product strategy. The metric that matters here is Kernel releases gated by robustness and performance regression suites.
Technical buyer checklist
- Are acceptance tests written on your geometries before coding?
- Is IP portable if the vendor relationship changes?
- Do robustness and performance budgets gate releases?
- Can juniors reproduce a key case without tribal macros?
- Does the first release prove kernel releases gated by robustness and performance regression suites?
Hendoi’s 3D CAD Kernel Development work is organized around modular architecture, demonstrable increments, and validation on your models.
