Adopted by major industry players, 3D InterOp enables your application to work with an extensive breadth of CAD formats in a seamless, unified way.
Highest Quality for Applications
3D InterOp generates native geometry for ACIS, CGM, and Parasolid, providing high quality data ensuring the success of downstream operations.
Reuse Metadata from Different Sources
Beyond geometry, 3D InterOp imports associated metadata, such as manufacturing information, enabling you to automate your application workflow.
Flexible and Performant
Load data as needed, by importing containers of your choice to deliver optimal user experiences.
Native Data Translation
3D InterOp leverages CGM kernel and native APIs to read/write CATPart and CATProduct from CATIA and SolidWorks metadata. Native APIs give your application a strong edge in terms of quality without requiring a CAD license. Similar behavior is available for Parasolid based formats such as NX, Solid Edge and SOLIDWORKS, if your application embeds the Parasolid kernel.
Selective Import API
Incrementally import CAD data as individual containers, including product structure, tessellated geometry, exact geometry, and manufacturing information, as needed by your application workflows.
Geometry Repair
Automated healing and advanced operators like stitching and re-surfacing produce topologically valid solid models, robust for downstream workflows.
