The 3D InterOp Translators are a set of C++ libraries that enable ISV’s to easily integrate both native and standard MCAD formats into their applications. The benefits of using 3D InterOp include:

  • Accurate 3D Translation

3D InterOp components allow transparent exchange of solid, surface and wireframe, non-geometric and visualization data for 3D formats such as CATIA V5, CATIA V4, Pro/E, UG NX, SolidWorks, Inventor, ACIS®, Parasolid, IGES, STEP, VDA-FS and HSF.

  • More than just CAD Geometry

3D InterOp goes beyond the established translation of 3D geometry and topology, with support for vital geometric data, product structure (assemblies and sub-assemblies), reference data (coordinate systems, free curves, free points), grouping data (names, layers, layer filters) as well as manufacturing information (GD&T) for specific formats.

  • Integrated with Parasolid and with HOOPS

Tech Soft 3D has tightly integrated 3D InterOp with Parasolid, making 3D InterOp particularly well-suited to applications using this kernel. In addition, 3D InterOp is integrated directly with the HOOPS for the rapid development of multi-format visualization solutions.

  • Mature, Road-Tested and Professionally Supported.

3D InterOp components offer a mature translation solution, used in over 150 different applications. A dedicated team of translation specialists is constantly developing and enhancing 3D InterOP to meet both current and future market needs. Stability is a hallmark of these libraries, which are subject to over 225,000 weekly tests, which continually identify areas for quality improvements. Finally, you'll know that the expert support & consulting team at Tech Soft 3D is here to help ensure your use of 3D InterOp is a success.
