Create innovative software without the burden of building data access and interoperability technology in-house. Tech Soft 3D’s industry-leading SDKs deliver broad, reliable read and write capabilities for CAD, AEC, and CAE data, ensuring both speed and accuracy.
Enhance your software with robust 3D CAD and AEC data translation with the leading SDK, HOOPS Exchange.
Through a powerful C++ and C#, API, HOOPS Exchange enables the import of over 30 file formats, including CATIA®, SOLIDWORKS®, Inventor®, Creo®, NX™, Solid Edge®, Revit, IFC, DWG, along with export to standards like 3D PDF, STEP, JT, XT, and 3D HTML, all through a single, streamlined interface.
Access rich engineering data, including boundary representation (B-REP), product manufacturing information (PMI), metadata, and model trees to power your engineering workflows.
Moving data between simulation packages has always been tedious, with developers often forced to rely on custom readers and writers that require constant maintenance.
Tech Soft 3D’s vendor-independent CAE interoperability SDK, HOOPS Access, takes that burden off developers’ shoulders. Supporting over 30 input formats and 10 output formats, including Nastran, Abaqus, ANSYS Fluent, IDEAS, and CGNS, it keeps your CAE application open to the world, without the recurring costs of version updates and format changes.
RealDWG is the world's #1 DWG file access SDK that allows you to get to market faster with fast and accurate DWG/DXF file access, all without any dependency on AutoCAD.
Built by Autodesk, RealDWG provides your application and end-users with full access to 2D and 3D design data, including geometry, structure, text, and metadata. With complete DWG and DXF compatibility, you can create a standalone application that makes sharing design data easy for your end-users.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
A CAD data translation SDK gives developers an easy way to add import and export capabilities for multiple file formats, without needing to build it from the ground up. With HOOPS Exchange you can quickly integrate CAD data access into your desktop, cloud or mobile application.
A CAE data translation SDK lets developers read and write simulation data across multiple formats. This enables seamless interoperability without the cost and complexity of building and maintaining custom readers and writers in-house.
HOOPS Access, Tech Soft 3D’s CAE data access toolkit, supports more than 30 industry-standard formats to accelerate development and ensure reliable performance.
If you need CAD data translation but aren't developing software, we offer SpinFire Convert, a lightweight application for fast, reliable data translation and 3D publishing.
Yes. You can replace your current data translation SDK with either HOOPS Exchange for CAD data or HOOPS Access for CAE data.
