CAD File Translation - 3D InterOp

As a long-time leader in 3D technologies, Spatial delivers the highest quality data exchange between CAD formats, enabling superior CAD file translation for application developers.

Spatial's comprehensive 3D InterOp suite is a CAD file translation tool that allows exchange of solid, surface, and wireframe data via a variety of neutral and native 3D formats, including:

  • CATIA V5
  • CATIA V4
  • IGES
  • STEP
  • VDA-FS
  • Pro/ENGINEER (Pro/E)
  • Parasolid (PS)
  • Unigraphics (UG)
  • SolidWorks
  • Inventor
  • ACIS®

Spatial’s 3D InterOp Suite provides CAD file translation for application developers that allows the import of semantic Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) data from CATIA V5, Pro/Engineer (Pro/E) and Unigraphics (UG) file formats. PMI import allows exchange of notes, dimensions, geometric tolerances, datum reference frames, datum references, datum & datum targets.


3D InterOp CAD File Translation allows you to:

  • Easily integrate advanced 3D data interoperability capabilities into software that utilizes 3D information
  • Perform transparent, direct and indirect CAD data exchange of solid, surface, and wireframe data from a variety of neutral and native 3D formats
  • Perform exchange of semantic Product Manufacturing Information (PMI).
  • Gain access to 3D CAD data without extensive code modification or purchase of native software applications
  • Remain focused on core competencies and value-add, reduce development time, lower maintenance costs and improve time-to-market


3D InterOp CAD File Translation Key Features:

  • Reliable and high quality geometry and topology import and an extensible translation platform for your 3D application
  • Plug-and-play architecture for addition of new CAD formats
  • Transparent exchange of 3D data from a variety of neutral and native 3D formats
