The initial product was "Solution 3000", a PC based CAD/CAM system that ran on a standard IBM PC "AT" (or clone), running under PC-DOS, with 640kb of memory. Additional required hardware included a math coprocessor, a 20MB hard disk drive with floppy disk backup, a graphics display interface, and a graphics monitor.

Solution 3000 featured true full 3D modeling capability, including both design and manufacturing capabilities. Optional packages included:

Advanced Surfacing / NC Machining Advanced Conversion Programs: IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification)[2], DFX (AutoCAD Format) [3], DES (General Motors), Ford Standard Tape, and Chrysler's format.
