GSI Orchestra SDK

Geometry Systems Inc. (GSI) provides the next generation design tools for 3D digital model creation. In addition to GSI Studio suite of end-user applications for professional designers to effectively transform 3D scan data processing, GSI also offers a Software Development Kit named GSI Orchestra to help developers quickly creating domain specific solutions. GSI Orchestra SDK has two major components: the high performance graphic kernel and its matching highly configurable GUI framework. In addition to its wide range of ready-to-use functions and comprehensive services, the kernel is very modular with well-defined APIs for easy plug-in interface. The GUI framework is script driven and can be further customized by end-users of the developed solution.
