Digital Geometric Kernel

Digital Geometric Kernel (former KernelCAD) is a software development framework and a set of components for enabling 3D computer graphics computer-aided design (3D/CAD) function in Windows applications, developed by DInsight.

DInsight promotes KernelCAD as a quick way to add 3D/CAD functions without significant knowledge about the subject, mainly for engineers and software developers.

At the top level DG Kernel is a user interface control. As such, it can be added to forms or dialogs using development environments such as Microsoft Visual Studio or Embarcadero Technologies Delphi. Pure geometric functions can be used in background without creating a window. Samples include C#, Visual Basic (.NET), Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), C++, and Pascal (Delphi) versions.

The application programming interface (API) is based on an interface (abstract class) hierarchy.

DG Kernel relies on three major third party components:

DG Kernel automates and simplifies the extensive solid modeling functionality available in OCCT particularly. It also bridges the gap between complexity of OCCT and the prohibitive for small businesses costs of commercial kernels like Parasolid or ACIS

The product was first released by DInsight in 2001 under Kernel CAD name.

In version 6.0, released in December 2018, the main product was renamed to DG Kernel. The most significant change in version 6 was an alternative high-level interface for OCCT technology, which solves a number of issues with using OCCT directly.
