摘要
InnovMetric希望其3D点云处理软件能够提供与大型软件公司相同的CAD导入功能。他们的首要目标之一是实现近乎100%无差错的CATIA v5文件导入。
InnovMetric最终选择了Spatial公司的3D InterOp软件,因其具备高端CAD转换器,尤其擅长完美兼容CATIA v4和v5数据交换。此外,Spatial频繁的版本更新与服务包支持,使InnovMetric能够持续保持竞争优势。

We are excited to be working with Spatial. We feel its InterOp translators have been a great asset to our product development and we look forward to using its translators to improve the future of PolyWorks.
公司
InnovMetric公司(InnovMetric Software Inc.)成立于1994年,是业界率先开发将高密度3D数字化设备转化为真正计量仪器的软件先驱。作为一家私营企业,InnovMetric旗下的PolyWorks®检测与建模解决方案已在全球30多个国家得到日常应用,为宝马、波音、戴姆勒-克莱斯勒、福特、保时捷和丰田等客户提供市场上最全面、精准且可靠的3D点云处理软件解决方案。

挑战
InnovMetric希望在其产品中提供与大型软件公司相同的CAD导入功能。要在汽车和航空航天行业保持竞争力,公司必须实现近乎100%无差错的CATIA v5文件导入。由于市场上已有成熟的商业解决方案,若自行开发数据交换功能对InnovMetric而言并不经济高效。因此,公司最终选择了一款性价比优异、性能卓越的第三方工具,以满足其严苛的技术要求和品质期望。



解决方案
2002年,InnovMetric在Spatial公司的3D InterOp转换器技术中找到了答案,并持续将其集成至PolyWorks软件中。Spatial的InterOp组件使其具备高端CAD导入功能,显著提升了在汽车和航空航天领域头部客户中的渗透率。"我们很自然地选择了Spatial",InnovMetric总裁马克·苏西表示。通过Spatial的InterOp转换器,InnovMetric获得了稳定且持续更新的高端CAD转换技术,公司非常放心将这些技术提供给客户。InnovMetric的客户期望获得近乎完美的无差错文件导入体验,并确保文件内容的完整呈现。
Spatial的3D InterOp转换器使InnovMetric客户能轻松将先进的3D数据互操作性功能集成到各类应用中,包括:使用3D信息的CAD/CAM/CAE应用程序;PDM/PLM协同系统等数据管理系统;以及可视化应用程序。"Spatial的CAD转换技术已臻成熟——这是款极其出色的产品",苏西强调道。在将InterOp库初步集成至PolyWorks后,得益于Connect API接口,如今InnovMetric新增转换器的集成时间已缩短至不足一小时。



成果
InnovMetric选择收购Spatial的3D InterOp技术,从而避免了自主开发该技术可能面临的资源消耗、经济成本及上市周期等挑战。"我们自始至终与Spatial共同推进该库的开发,并欣慰地看到我们的建议与需求持续体现在新版本和服务包中。"Spatial灵活的商业模式完美适配InnovMetric这类规模虽小却需服务全球顶尖企业的公司。
凭借Spatial的技术支持,InnovMetric在CAD转换器市场极具竞争力。其核心客户群的销售业绩主要来自UG或CATIA转换器,部分客户甚至会同时采购CATIA v4和v5版本。该公司最大的竞争优势在于:与逆向工程转换器不同,Spatial的CATIA v5转换器直接调用原生CATIA库——这项被几乎所有汽车制造商采用的技术。Soucy补充道,该技术的卓越稳定性可确保近乎零瑕疵的数据导入,完全规避转换错误。
主要观点
解决方案
得益于Connect API,InnovMetric仅用不到一小时便成功集成3D InterOp。Spatial频繁的版本更新与服务包发布,持续为InnovMetric保持竞争优势提供支撑。阅读更多Spatial案例研究
