ACIS is an object-oriented 3D geometric modeling engine from Spatial Technology Inc. ACIS is designed for use as the geometry foundation within virtually any end user 3D modeling application.
ACIS saves model information to ACIS part save files and also restores the model information from these files. These files have an open format so that applications not based on ACIS can have access to the ACIS model. An example of a non-ACIS based application that needs the geometric model information is a program that translates models from ACIS to another format, or vice versa.
