WHAT IS 3D VISUALIZATION?
We provide software development services in the sphere of 3D computer graphics. The aim is to provide the visualization of data, architectural and design solutions, simulation of production and infrastructure processes by using the latest 3D graphics technology.
OUR CORE 3D VISUALIZATION SERVICES
Development of 3D rendering components
Blackthorn Vision offers a set of services for developing a new 3D engine and maintenance of the existing one. The expertise of our team allows facing any challenges - from the improvement of mass-data processing with the extended capability of modern CPUs to developing 3D effects for photorealistic rendering. Our experts are always happy to provide consulting on technical solutions in 3D graphics that will meet the clients' exact requirements.
CAD/CAM integration & automation
The usage of 3D graphics in architecture and design has already become the industry standard. There is a lot of dedicated software on the market. It often happens that one software product cannot fulfill all the tasks, and the usage of several applications may complicate the process or make it impossible due to inconsistency. In this case, our company provides workflow automation and integration services. The development of a software utility or engineering a software plugin can solve this problem. The automation of employees' day-to-day operations will improve their productivity and benefit the company financially.
3D simulation
Manufacturing Industry is famous for its attention to detail when fabricating different products. It is of crucial importance as even a tiny modification to the assembly line workflow may affect the total revenue of an enterprise. Modern technologies have a vast potential for streamlining the manufacturing process, with 3D graphics playing a pivotal role. The virtual simulation of the manufacturing line operations or a particular industrial machine, which is an element of this line, creates the following advantages for an enterprise:
- Instant calculation of the manufacturing productivity at the design stage
- An efficient process for calculating room parameters relative to the configuration of the units involved
- Identifying and eliminating industrial machine programming errors before the machine starts executing the program. Sometimes correcting machine commands even allows avoiding damage to the equipment
Our company has relevant software development expertise. The solutions provided to our clients make their business more productive and competitive.

CORE BENEFITS
True business value
Our company has extensive expertise in software development in the sphere of 3D computer graphics. Engineers with over ten years of experience in the industry produce high-quality solutions for sophisticated technical tasks of our clients.
This cooperation often allows them to take their business to the next level, at which it is hard for other market players to offer analog software solutions to the end-user. We are extremely proud of our clients, many being market leaders. Their products are used by half of Fortune 500 companies.
Outstanding quality
We have never compromised on quality. Strict requirements to the code style and productivity, continuous learning, and improvement of our skills, as well as Test Driven Development, are the gold standard for our team. Business needs are considered at the early stage of software solution architecture, which, together with highlighting current issues, gives the right direction to the development process.
- There are over 20K unit-tests at SciChart project which testifies to strict requirements to quality assurance.
- Digital innovation in the forming industry — 3D project was also implemented following the Test-Driven Development method.
Hands-on-experience
We have experience in developing 3D stimulation of real-time operation of an industrial machine. The software solution was developed as a Standalone component that extended the possibilities of the existing HMI application for CNC bending machine). Our team faced real engineering challenges. Sometimes the tasks were outside the 3D graphics expertise and required competence in applied mathematics and physics. Among others, we have successfully completed the following tasks:
- Generation of part shape based on the execution of G-code commands by this machine, with consideration of the possible variable characteristics of the machine tools.
- Development of the Collision Detection / Interference Free algorithm based on machine characteristics.
- Developing a search algorithm of the alternative G-Code program, where the collision problem is eliminated, though the product has not lost its original shape.
- Productivity improvement of mass-data processing by using low-level instructions (SIMD) of CPU.
- Support and capability enhancement of the in-house 3D engine. The fact that the 3D engine is cross-platform makes the development even more complicated. When adding a new feature or improving an existing one, one must always be sure that the solution can be equally well executed on such platforms as Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, WebAssembly.
- Development of a plugin for Unreal Engine. This software module ensured workflow automation of architecture agencies by processing input data. The result of module functioning is the creation of applications for photorealistic 3D visualization with an option of video content streaming to gadgets with internet access. In the process of producing this software solution, we have used the possibilities of such cutting-edge technologies as Unreal Engine and V-Ray Renderer.
Why Blackthorn Vision
Partner, not a vendor
Blackthorn Vision has been a reliable partner for its customers for 10+ years already. Most of our customers engage in long-term cooperation rather than one-time projects. The average customer account lifecycle with us is 5+ years.
Proven track record
We have successfully delivered over 70 projects, and based on regular survey data, we estimate the level of customer satisfaction to be at 95%. We also share open-minded company culture and get along quickly with customer teams all across the world.
Customer centered services
Blackthorn Vision offers a set of services supported by flexible engagement models tailored to our customer's business needs in mind. One of our strengths is our capability to act as a one-stop-shop for customers, support them on any SDLC stage, and drive it from the beginning until a successful product launch.
Top tech talent
Our HQ is located in Lviv, a city proud to have the best trained and highly skilled tech talent in Ukraine. This is due to the 3 top universities in Ukraine providing degrees in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science. Whenever we need a team extension to meet customer's project needs, we close vacancies faster than in other locations in Ukraine.
