[Season 2, Chapter 3] Why can't other CADs create "GSM"?
T3Japan
The reason ThinkDesign's "GSM" continues to be a solitary presence is not merely due to the superiority of its functions, but rather the fundamental difference in its design philosophy. While many CAD systems rely on "borrowed hearts" (general-purpose kernels) like Parasolid or ACIS, which face limitations such as rebuild errors due to their specifications and "the curse of history" when it comes to bold shape transformations, ThinkDesign adheres to its own "in-house developed kernel." This allows for direct deformation of the entire model in a dimension completely independent of the hierarchy of history, akin to tectonic shifts. Furthermore, unlike simple shape distortion in CG, it achieves both "surface quality suitable for molds" and "mathematical rigor" necessary for manufacturing through real-time high-order simultaneous equations. For modern designers constrained by general-purpose engines and rushed to create data tailored to CAD's convenience, GSM represents a philosophy to reclaim the "freedom to pursue the ideal shape," becoming an overwhelming advantage that others cannot easily penetrate.

Nice to meet you, I am Takachan, working in sales (which is more like a pre-sales role) at ThinkDesign. Usually, I listen to clients' desires of "I want to create a service like this" and act as a bridge to translate those into a "concrete blueprint" that engineers and designers can easily bring to life.
