Geometric Limited announced the launch of its new extensible and customizable 3D visualization tool, Glovius, for consumption of product design data on Windows, iPad/iPhone and Android systems.

Glovius for Windows is a free viewer with an add-on based architecture,  and operates on the industry standard JT file format. Its add-ons allow users to import CAD files from multiple platforms like CATIA V5, NX,  Pro/ENGINEER, Creo, SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, STEP and IGES. Many more out of the box add-ons for implementing industry standard use cases are in the pipeline, including visualization with markup and collaboration, drawing-less manufacturing, etc. Glovius is also available as a toolkit along with rich Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) for building custom solutions.
 
Glovius apps for iOS and Android will help users access 3D data on mobile devices. Users can consume and showcase 3D information on their smart phones and tablets. They can interact with 3D models using the intuitive touch interface, view PMI and Product structure, hide/show components, take sections and e-mail snapshots from within the application. To access 3D models on the go, users can convert them to a mobile optimized format using Geometrics Babel3D.com online translation and storage service. All major CAD formats are supported.
