Address AR/RV Challenges
With Spatial Solutions

Import Large Assemblies Lightning Fast

3D InterOp enables expert CAD import,B-rep geometry handling and non-exact geometry. It enables your application to work with an extensive breadth of CAD formats in a seamless, unified way.  In addition to importing over 25 different CAD and mesh formats, 3D InterOp also supports AEC/BIM formats. 3D Interop enables a wide range of metadata, including materials, colors and product manufacturing information, enhancing manufacturing xR workflows.

Automatic Data Preparation

Data Prep for 3D InterOp automatically enhances and enriches 3D data with robust algorithms and best implementation practices. With data prep’s powerful filtering and compression technology, you can reduce model complexity and size, mask IP and tailor outputs. For example, you can simplify a simulation workflow by removing detailed features, small bodies, holes, fillets and hidden bodies.

Optimize CAD Models for XR

CGM Modeler enables simplification and boosts performance in XR workflows by using advanced feature recognition and defeaturing capabilities.In addition, full control over the geometry's tessellation is given, allowing your user to generate the visualization that’s right for them. With CGM modeler, you can accurately model 3D geometry with best-in-class B-Rep operators and modify it using robust operators for booleans, deformation, direct editing and more. CGM also enables efficient model analysis using fast and accurate operators for calculating distances, containment, clash detection and beyond.

Optimize Mesh Models for XR

CGM Polyhedra provides tools for healing meshes to reduce polygon counts when your models aren’t ready for visualization and decimation. Spatial solutions across 3D InterOp, CGM Modeler and CGM Polyhedra offer different adaptable capabilities and options that developers can combine to prepare data in their workflows to obtain an optimal result for their experience.
