T-Splines, Inc. has been named the recipient of a $100,000 grant award as a 2008-2009 Utah Centers of Excellence company.

The Centers of Excellence program provides grant funding to help technologies developed at Utah’s colleges and universities transition out of the lab and into industry. Such advanced technologies can help create great new companies and great new products at Utah’s existing companies. Both of these mechanisms create high paying, long term jobs for Utah’s citizens.

T-Splines, Inc. has licensed from BYU a revolutionary new technology, T-Splines, that solves significant modeling problems in computer-aided design (CAD). This new technology, which is compatible with NURBS (non-uniform rational B-splines—the industry standard technology), creates analysis-ready CAD models by default, and also introduces timesaving animation modeling workflows to CAD, two breakthroughs which significantly reduce the design time of product development.
