K3 (computer-aided design)

• 1979 - employees of the Computing Center at the GGU them. Lobachevsky developed a package of Spich application programs for BESM-6 and EC-based computers used for enterprises of the nuclear and space industry.
• 1983 - "Speech" began to be used for the design of cottages.
• 1985 - a version for SM computers appeared , which was called “Kitezh”.
• 1991 - 1993 - more than 50 enterprises of the country began to actively use Kitezh.
• 1994 - the Center GeoS company was formed from the staff of the EC, which developed the K3 solid-state spatial modeling system and the modules based on it: K3-Mebel ( 1996 ), K3-Cottage ( 2002 ), " K3-Ship ”( 1996 ), K3-Awning, K3-LOM ( 1997 ), K3-LSS and K3-SLS.

K3 Furniture

K3-Furniture - a set of computer programs for the production and sale of furniture. K3-Furniture allows you to automate the process of taking orders and preparing production tasks based on computer technology.

The complex consists of the following modules:

• K3-Furniture PKM - module for the design of furniture. Combines the capabilities of K3-Furniture Salon and K3-Furniture PCM;
• K3-Furniture PCM - module for the design of individual furniture ( not available since 2011 );
• K3-Furniture Salon - a module designed to provide sales of standard, standard and individual cabinet furniture in the cabin using electronic catalogs: kitchen, office, children’s, etc .;
• K3-Furniture AMBI (Automation of Small Business) is a module designed for the design and sale of furniture products by small (small) companies. The module lacks the ability to configure, missing a number of useful functions, etc.
• K3-Furniture CNC - a module for transmitting order information for machine tools with numerical control.
• K3-Furniture-Cutting;
• Photorealistic visualization module.

K3-Cottage

K3-Cottage is a complex of computer programs for manufacturers of houses from rounded logs and profiled timber. Allows you to create all the documents necessary for the production and assembly of houses from rounded logs and profiled timber. Main reports: wall development, razvrovnovka (razbrukovka, trebrevka), floor plans, plans for the crowns, optimization of waste material (cutting), etc.

The complex consists of the following modules:

• Geometric spatial editor K3 - the geometric core of the complex;
• Module Log - module create a three-dimensional model of the house;
• Roof module - a module for creating ramps and a supporting roof structure;
• ArchiCad data import module - a module for importing data from the ArchiCad architectural modeling system;
• CNC module - data transfer module to woodworking centers with numerical control. Currently, data transmission modules with Krusi, Stromab AutoBlox, Makron, Shmidler machines are implemented.

K3-Awning

"K3-Awning" - a complex of computer programs for the design of awning structures. "K3-Awning" allows you to speed up the release of project documentation and improve the quality of the preparation of production tasks for the manufacture of tent structures of arbitrary shape. Complex "K3-Tent" provides the designer with the most visible and most effective tools for working with surfaces of any complexity. At the same time, "K3-Awning" provides a significant reduction in terms of finding the shape of the shell, visualization of the final structure, drawing cut lines and unfolding the pieces on the plane.

The composition of the complex K3-Awning:

• “Shaping module” is a module for creating a three-dimensional model of an awning. Provides shape search and shell visualization;
• The “pre-production module” is a module for applying marking lines and cuts to the shell. Formation and scanning flaps on the plane

K3-Ship

K3-Ship is a system for forming a solid-state spatial model of the ship's hull structure and its other elements.

K3-LOM, K3-LSS, K3-SLS - Layer Synthesis

A three-dimensional object simulated on a computer of almost any complexity can be made:

• or on a laser stereitlograph from a liquid photopolymerization composition with successive thin (0.1-0.2 mm) layers cured by laser radiation (K3-LSS);
• or on a LOM machine from thin layers of self-adhesive paper cut by a laser beam (K3-LOM).
