DOTgroup Consortium (Formerly Synthetic Technologies) is a Design Oriented Technologies & CAD Solutions development group founded in 2001 after the contact between Hernan Pisani and Marco Parolini.

 

DCAD VectorSpace, was the first revolutionary result of this union.

DOTgroup Consortium is formed by Virtual Lab s.a.s, DOTSoft Inc. and CADOT S.L.

One of the founders, engineer Marco Parolini is known as one of the pioneers of computer aided design on the Mac OS platform in Italy. Developer of GEO 3D VectorSpace, a powerful 2D and 3D CAD application based off the MiniCad/VectorWorks engine. Currently responsible for the italian and australian development department for the new DOTgroup Consortium.

On the other side of the globe, architect Hernan Pisani, president of DOTSoft Inc. has developed products such as MouseCAD for Apple II, MasterCAD (the first CAD available on the Atari platform) and ArchiDOT followed by DenebaCAD which were a huge success with thousand installations sold.

June 2008 - sees the birth of its spanish subsidiary CADOT S.L. (Computer Aided Design Oriented Tools, S.L.) with Hernan Pisani as it’s president which makes CADOT S.L. another part of the DOTgroup Consortium.

July 2010 - 2014 sees the birth of its australian subsidiary Virtual Lab Australia in Sidney with Mario Ciaramellano and arch. Sebastiano Ghezzi as technical and commercial reference in Melbourne.

December 2015- signed partnerships with 3D Irish Celtic Limited in order to deliver the 3D Interactive Design consortium which sees as core companies Virtual Lab Sas-CADOT S.L.-Space Tech International Ltd-3D Celtic Limited with the aim of studying new and important technologies.

 

DCAD render is the first project carried out by the group, unveiled in November 2016.

At a glance, DOTgroup Consortium's work can be considered a union of fantasy and technology in which the solutions given don't just have a high level of computer engineering behind them but also play on psychological aspects on the user's keeping him/her enthusiastic about his/her work whilst maintaining identity as a designer visibly neat and professional in his/her work.
