Embedding our API – makes all current CAD formats available in your application – Cost and time efficient. INTEROPERABILITY SOLUTIONS Today engineering software companies and their customers are looking for new ways to read a variety of 3D CAD data formats. 3D_Kernel_IO is the leading API with native readers based on the C ++ programming language. Allowing efficient, precise and independent access to all native and standard formats. PROVEN TECHNOLOGY In addition 3D_Kernel_IO provides unique and proven functions and modules with automatic healing, PDQ-Checker, Assembly Management, Precision Tessellation...

NATIVE INTERFACES All standard and native interfaces are developed and maintained by CoreTechnologie ensuring a guaranteed support of the newest CAD format versions. 3D_Kernel_IO reads assembly structure, attributes like names, curves, or layers; entities like points, B-Rep solids and skins as well as tessellated models. Furthermore, features with history, PMI, attributes and metadata (e.g. DC Master, publications) are directly accessible without a CAD license or application: SUPPORTED FORMATS • NX™ • CATIA ® • Creo ® • SOLIDWORKS ® • ProE ®/Wildfire • Inventor ® • IDEAS™ • JT-Format • XT-Format...

Available on Windows, Linux and Mac for 64 and 32 Bit Platforms. EASY TO INTEGRATE The interrogation functions are standardized for all formats. Therefore, 3D_Kernel_IO can be embedded very easily and rapidly available in your application. EASY TO USE 3D_Kernel_IO also includes a simple sample application, easy to use and useful to verify the results of your integration and test various options and commands that the API offers. It also comes with complete documentation as well as descriptive programming samples.

FLEXIBLE LICENSING 3D_Kernel_IO allows software editors to satisfy all their interoperability needs, dealing with only one vendor, one API and one predictable and affordable annual licensing fee or per license cost. The licensing system can be adopted as an open library with code protection, or optional locked API based on Codemeter License manager. PMI INFORMATION 3D_Kernel_IO native interfaces also reads PMI information like dimensions, tolerances, annotations, datum’s and text. All links to the geometry provided; is mandatory to use PMI in Metrology and CAM applications. Generalized interrogation...

Providing specific functionalities for CAD, CAM, CAE, VR and Metrology. UNIQUE FEATURES 3D_Kernel_IO is worldwide the unique tool for history and features. The extraordinary tool maps the construction history and parameters directly from the binary file without requiring access to a license of the source CAD system. Additional 3D_Kernel_IO native interfaces read featured information and PMI of threads, holes, chamfers, filets, patterns, drafts, pockets, extrusions, other feature types as well as assembly features. The data structure represents all feature types used by today´s CAD systems. HISTORY...

GEOMETRIC COMPARISON 3D_Kernel_IO can find geometric differences between two objects. The Kernel conveniently allows for comparison of objects to part solid, body or face; while setting minimum distance detected. The parameters can be set for the comparison of distance of minimum and maximum color variance by the type of part solid, body or face. TESSELATION The accurate and fast tessellation of 3D models as well as healing functions for triangulated models optimize CAD data for digital mock-up, virtual reality and high-end rendering. Parameters for maximum chord deviation, triangle size, and...
