Traditional 3D staging & DCC tools (Unity3D, 3DS Max, Maya, Blender, Unreal Engine...) can natively read 3D files containing tessellated objects (meshes) like .fbx, .dae, .3ds and .obj files.

However native CAD files, created for engineering, manufacturing and interoperability purposes in professional CAD solutions (CATIA, SIEMENS NX, SolidWorks, CREO, Inventor, STEP,...), cannot be easily imported in these tools.

PiXYZ STUDIO is a unique 3D Data Preparation tool providing best-in-class tessellation and optimization algorithms, enabling the transformation of CAD data coming from almost all industry-leading CAD solutions into lightweight, optimized meshes, ready to be exported.

PiXYZ STUDIO comes in an ergonomic and intuitive UI, providing a robust & powerful viewer, necessary to display numerous complex 3D data. When importing and processing CAD data with PiXYZ STUDIO, the integrity of all the information contained in the original CAD file is preserved: product structure (tree/hierarchy), original CAD surfaces (BREP/Nurbs), materials assignment and appearance, PMI and all kind of metadata.

Integrated Python API

PiXYZ STUDIO also comes with a Python API, embedding a scripting editor allowing advanced users to create powerful scripts to automate complex data preparation tasks (beside import/export functions for batch processing, see next).

PiXYZ STUDIO.batch version

PiXYZ STUDIO.batch is a premium version including additional import/export (I/O) functions to the Python scripting capacities, for automatic batch processing of CAD files.

This powerful version allows the deployment of Data Preparation frameworks at large scale.
