Does SpinFire Convert provide solutions for lightweight 3D formats?

Yes. SpinFire Convert provides solutions for all of the major lightweight viewing formats (including Siemens JT and PTC Creo View) and enables you to create and consume that data for a variety of downstream purposes.

How is lightweight visualization data typically used?

Lightweight 3D visualization data is widely used for desktop viewing, full-scale digital mock-ups, and sharing information with suppliers in support of engineering processes and communication. Because it represents the shape and structure of source CAD while limiting design detail, it protects intellectual property (IP) when shared externally. At the same time, it provides enough design intelligence for suppliers to complete their work effectively. With the increasing sophistication of visualization systems, the exchange of lightweight data is becoming central to collaboration between business partners, whether suppliers or customers. This trend is also driving the need to translate visualization data directly for use in downstream processes and, in some cases, back into native mechanical CAD and PLM systems.

What CAD data can SpinFire Convert translate to lightweight 3D formats?

Alongside geometry and product structure data, SpinFire Convert can be used to share PMI (GD&T) information and Metadata internally and with customers and suppliers, thereby supporting the move to Model Based Engineering.

What are the key features of SpinFire Convert for lightweight visualization?

SpinFire Convert makes it easy to receive, create, and share lightweight visualization data, with features including:

  • Direct Database Converters

  • Uni-Directional and Bi-Directional configurations (depending on the product)

  • Interactive or batch conversion processes in PLM environments

  • Support for transferring 3D Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) between systems

  • Data filtering to optimize data quality and conversion times
