Advanced CAD translations

3D_Evolution© performs fast and accurate CAD data conversion without the need of a CAD license and guarantees unrivalled model quality.

3D_Evolution has interfaces for all major CAD formats such as:

CATIA V5 and V6 • Creo • NX • SOLIDWORKS • INVENTOR

JT • STEP • 3D PDF • XT • ACIS • DWG • DGN

and many others (View PDF Datasheet).

Supporting all current mathematical descriptions, the 3D_Evolution geometry kernel performs an adaptive conversion, creating models, that the target system ‘understands’ perfectly, and also bridges tolerance differences between the CAD systems.

In addition, the optional Feature Based module translates fully workable models including history, features, and parameters.

3D_Evolution combines an easy-to-use graphical user interface with powerful scripting language for process integration and automation.

Our partnership with all major CAD vendors assures that the latest technology is always available within a short time.

PMI and Metadata

3D_Evolution enables the conversion of the entire semantic PMI, FTA, annotations, as well as metadata and attributes attached to a 3D model.

The data is retrieved from the native files and can also made available in a text file, independent of the 3D geometry.

Healing and CAD data repair tools

Modeling errors from the design process or imprecisions resulting from different system tolerances are no longer an obstacle for successful data conversion. The proven 3D_Evolution healing functions automatically resolve gaps, overlapping elements and twisted faces. The healing ensures closed solids and perfect data quality for a given tolerance that is controlled and logged at any stage of the process.

In interactive mode, filter functions indicate persistent modeling errors that can be resolved efficiently with the systems easy-to-use repair and clean-up functions.
