SpinFire Convert is your fast, reliable solution for CAD file translation and publishing. Built on trusted Theorem technology, it transforms complex CAD models into lightweight, shareable formats that are ready for use by downstream teams across your organization.
Support for 3DEXPERIENCE, CATIA V5, NX, Creo, JT, SOLIDWORKS, STEP, and more – translate across native and neutral formats.
Translate to lightweight 3D formats like Creo View and JT, or create 3D PDFs and HTML files for downstream consumption, accessible without CAD licenses.
Supports batch processing and server-side automation for enterprise-scale deployment.
SpinFire Convert empowers teams across the organization to simplify and share complex CAD data, supporting a variety of functions including:
Convert complex CAD models into accessible formats, making it easier to collaborate with internal and external stakeholders.
Access the exact geometry, metadata, and Model-Based Definition (MBD) data to streamline downstream processes like machining, tooling, and production.
Review and share CAD-derived deliverables without requiring native CAD tools, improving supplier communication and decision-making.
Measure and validate components against lightweight 3D formats, without the overhead of full CAD systems.
Visualize complete product assemblies clearly, enabling quicker and more effective support.
Embed interactive 3D views into reports, manuals and documentation, improving clarity in deliverables.
Reduce CAD license dependency
Eliminate the expense of additional software seats and specialist training
Streamline cross-format collaboration
Make CAD data accessible across teams, systems, and formats
Automate translation and publishing tasks
Leverage high-volume batch processing and integrate with existing PLM workflows
Ensure high-fidelity CAD data integrity
Securely preserve geometry and metadata to maintain data quality and protect intellectual property
In 2024, Tech Soft 3D acquired Theorem Solutions. As part of this change, Theorem’s CADTranslate and CADPublish products were re-packaged into SpinFire Convert.
While the products have a new name and packaging, the underlying technology, functionality, and CAD vendor partnerships remain the same - powered by Theorem technology.
For more information, read Tech Soft 3D's Product Consolidation FAQs.
Built on Theorem technology, strategic CAD vendor partnerships, and API connectivity, SpinFire Convert can translate rich 3D data to and from CAD and Visualization formats. This includes:
Geometry (faces, solid models, tessellation, wireframe. surfaces)
Product structure
PMI - Product Manufacturing Information (annotations, captures and views)
Metadata
Data filters (layers, entity type)
Colours
The table below shows the CAD and 3D formats SpinFire Convert can import and export, along with the primary supported features for each format.
No. Our direct CAD translation software does not support parametric translation, meaning feature definition and history is not translated. The output is a high-fidelity dumb solid - similar to what you'd get from a STEP file - making it ideal for downstream use cases where editable parametric data isn't required.
If parametric data isn’t required, SpinFire Convert offers a reliable way to translate CAD files for downstream use.
Yes. SpinFire Convert supports batch processing and workflow automation for CAD translation in numerous PLM environments, including:
Teamcenter (Siemens)
Windchill (PTC)
3DEXPERIENCE (Dassault Systèmes)
