FAQS

Digital Factory

What functionality do the HOOPS toolkits provide around optimized loading of large models in the cloud?

HOOPS Communicator provides functionality for intelligent streaming of data to the browser allowing users to quickly interact with huge models in seconds, aggregate models from parts or subassemblies or access just a subset of the model thanks to our highly optimized streaming technology.

Does HOOPS Exchange support file formats for both MCAD data and building data?

Yes, the HOOPS Exchange toolkit supports over 30 file formats including popular MCAD and building data such as CATIA, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Revit, DWG, IFC and more.

What is the role of 3D in IoT & IIoT applications?

There’s a wide range of use cases but we find that by utilizing 3D models connected to IoT sensor data, users are able to visualize the data in the context of a physical model, increasing the ability to interpret and act on that data.
