3D translation software
(OP)
Hello,
We are an automotive supplier trying to find a 3D translation software that will accomodate all of our customers and have not had much luck searching. We currently use SolidWorks to do all of our 3D design. We have customers who are sending us 3D in a variety of formats which they feel it is our job to translate and they are also demanding 3D models from us in a variety of formats aside from the common STEP or IGES formats. Does anyone have any experience with any translation software that they would recommend. I have found 2 programs that seem like they will work good but each is missing one component. TransMagic is unable to work with IDEAS files and Delcam PS-exchange is unable to export CATIA V4.

Send them various types of formats from SW and ask them to try each one. I have been thry this and 99% of the time works. I am not familiar with 3rd party software that will do what they want.
Good luck.

And NO, I do not work for or sell on behalf of Cadfix, I am just a humble but very satisfied user!

Both have translation products, but I don't know if they support your file formats.

You can also try TTF : http://www.ttf-group.com/
