PartXplore has been created to import and analyse all file types and sizes at high speed; it often takes less than half the time to open a file compared with the original CAD application, says Vero.
Users can build virtual, unified prototypes or 3D models imported from a range of file formats, including Catia, NX, Parasolid, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, STEP, IGES and more. The software saves the native CAD data in its own lightweight format, meaning manufacturers can perform tasks such as calculating surface areas and volumes, and measuring thickness, dimensions and angles without requiring the original CAD information.
