Simplify, Optimize and Repair CAD Data

Transform your design and engineering workflows with Data Prep, Spatial’s powerful add-on for 3D InterOp.

Before data can work properly in later development stages, the imported CAD model data often needs to be simplified, optimized and repaired. Data Prep provides these critical functions.

Fueled by the demands of various industries and propelled by industry leaders as our customer base, we’ve evolved our well-known and loved 3D InterOp to provide automated data preparation. This delivers an unparalleled and genuinely proven solution for data reuse across diverse industry segments.

Data Prep covers three critical CAD preparation needs: simplification, optimization and repair. Examples include removing small holes and fillets, filtering small bodies or generating an assembly structure from a flat part.

Say goodbye to manual edits and hello to faster, more efficient processes with Data Prep — your game-changer for 3D data optimization.

Why Choose Data Prep?

Highest Quality for Applications

Data Prep’s approach to simplifying, optimizing and repairing CAD models includes filtering small bodies out of a model, removing small holes and fillets and generating an assembly structure from a part with duplicate bodies. End users can enable these operations without any need for manual editing.

Simplify and Automate Your Workflow

Starting from the input source, Data Prep's pre-built options enable you to scale your workflow easily and quickly, making the data easier to reuse. Workflows for visualization, simulation, manufacturing and costing particularly benefit from Data Prep’s capabilities.

Flexible and Performant

Preparing CAD data is an important step for applications in manufacturing, simulation, robotics, AEC, and the industry in general. Data Prep’s preparation of models enables them to be as qualitative or as simple as needed for automation and AI.

A Game Changer for
CAD Data Preparation

Optimize Geometry

Ensure your end users' time is used as efficiently and effectively as possible. Data Prep has processes for repairing, stitching, feature recognition, re-meshing and more, so you can tweak and customize it to fit your application's needs. Ensure your end users' models are as simple or complex as needed.

Instancing

Significantly reduce model size and demand on system resources with Instancing. Data Prep automatically identifies identical shapes in a single file, creates duplicate elements just once, and instantiates them multiple times. This process eliminates the unnecessary replication of geometric data, putting time and resources back into your end users’ workflows.

Remove Hidden Information

Improve model efficiency by removing hidden information with Data Prep. Automatically detect and eliminate any 3D data or elements not necessary for the final model. This feature helps reduce file size and system resource demands, ensuring end-user workflows are unburdened by simple mistakes or leftover artifacts from previous iterations, resulting in cleaner and more efficient models.

Repair

Ensure the integrity and quality of your models with Data Prep’s repair features. Automatically stitch geometry to generate solid entities, fix inconsistencies and errors, and enhance overall geometry quality. These repair processes ensure that your models are robust and reliable, reducing the risk of issues in later stages of the workflow and ensuring they meet the required standards and specifications for various applications.

Filtering by Location, Properties, Size and Sub-Assembly

Empower end users to tailor their designs by specifying the types, locations, sizes and sub-assemblies of geometric features they wish to exclude or remove during 3D CAD data import. Whether holes, fillets, chamfers or more, end users can now selectively filter features, eliminating unnecessary intricacies and optimizing models for downstream workflows.
