Cloud API for 3D CAD, Design, Manufacturing Opens to TeamPlatform Accounts for Web, iOS, Enterprise Integration
Web API Initiative for 3D, Project Management, Collaboration uses OAuth 2 for Secure Authentication
Sunnyvale, CA - October 30, 2012 - VisPower Technology, Inc, the developer of the leading Web-based collaboration application TeamPlatform, announces the release of its API (Application Programming Interface) which is now available for any team account familiar with programming.
"Opening TeamPlatform's API offers a great opportunity for our users to integrate TeamPlatform workspaces into their Web site, 3D application, PDM, billing system, CRM or any other enterprise system,\" said Simon Bae, CEO of Vispower Technologies. \"TeamPlatform\'s versatile workspaces are used to manage projects, files, 3D data, tasks, markup, and notes. The new set of API's can read, write and update TeamPlatform workspaces, user profiles, and user groups. End users can now automate workflows by interweaving TeamPlatform and their enterprise applications through the API. The API empowers 3rd party developers to develop add-on\'s combining TeamPlatform with powerful desktop applications like SolidWorks or mobile devices like the iPhone 5," added Simon Bae.
TeamPlatform API is RESTful, uses JSON for serialization, and OAuth 2 for authentication. Chunk-by-chunk file upload support allows virtually unlimited file-size uploads which is important in large 3D Designs, CAD assemblies, 3D Scans, 3D Print Models, or Animations and Videos. Once uploaded to a TeamPlatform workspace, the files are automatically processed making them compatible for viewing, search and sharing on the web. Full text search across workspaces, comments, files, pages and tasks is supported by the API. Searching for CAD or 3D files with the API returns file thumbnail images and file meta-data from matched CAD and 3D models.
The API is suited for any development environment including C++, C#, VB, VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), Ruby, Java, javascript or mobile app development platforms such as iOS or Android. Complete documentation includes Authentication, Put, Get and Return codes and a quick-start C# example and is available here:

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
