Okino Ships 2011 Version of SolidWorks CAD Conversion System

By DE Editors

Okino Computer Graphics has announced that its SolidWorks CAD conversion system has been updated for SolidWorks 2011 and is now available to current customers still within their valid maintenance period. The conversion pipeline allows native SolidWorks BREP CAD assembly, part and presentation files (disk based, or from a live running copy of SolidWorks) to be converted to animation and authoring packages, 3D downstream file formats and VisSim programs.

Okino’s NuGraf and PolyTrans software promises to import crack-free geometry, hierarchy and materials (assembly data) from native disk-based SolidWorks files or from a running copy of SolidWorks, and subsequently provide rendering, viewing and scene composition of the data, or have the data optimized and then pipelined into 3D file formats, animation packages and third party/OEM integrations. SolidWorks assemblies, parts and presentations can be imported into animation systems such as 3ds Max, Maya,  Softimage, Cinema-4D and Lightwave, as well as third-party product that integrate Okino’s PolyTrans 3D converters and downstream file formats ranging from COLLADA to DWF-3D to SketchUp and more.

“Our SolidWorks 3D data conversion system is by far our most popular and requested CAD conversion pipeline software,” says Robert Lansdale, president and CEO of Okino Computer Graphics, Inc. “It also allows all disparate departments of large enterprise companies (such as engineering, design,  marketing and support) to easily exchange product data without the need to rebuild their CAD datasets — downstream uses include product documentation and manual creation, animation and rendering software, visual communication and review of data, and for accessing easier to manipulate versions of the original CAD datasets.”
