History
Led by software architect Andrew Burnett-Thompson, SciChart was founded in March 2012. However, doctoral research dating back to 2003 led to the development of their GPU-accelerated 2D/3D chart library.[1]
SciChart's software has evolved significantly over time. Initially developed during a PhD program to address the need for plotting large datasets in 2D and 3D, SciChart has grown into a resource used by over 10,000 customers, and millions of end users in 90 countries.
Starting as a WPF chart library, the company is now recognised as the world’s only high-performance cross-platform chart library provider across WPF, iOS, Android and JavaScript.
The software has undergone several evolutions, with updates such as the introduction of consultancy services, cross-platform capabilities, and the development of SciChart.js for web applications.
The company's ethos is commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction and contributions to various fields such as healthcare, scientific research, and technological advancement.
