For aerospace suppliers, meeting DPD (digital produce definition) requirements can feel like jumping down one long rabbit hole, especially when dealing with a lack of definitive information.
Capvidia has been helping Boeing, Lockheed, ULA, and other...
STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data) is a popular neutral 3D CAD file format that is interoperable among various CAD programs such as CATIA, Creo, SolidWorks, NX, Inventor, and others.
With over dozens of CAD software and even more CAD file formats, importing & exporting the right format helps tremendously when it comes to data integrity and minimizing errors & rework.
This is especially true for downstream applications from...
3D CAD comparison or CAD model validation is a vital step when comparing translated CAD files (e.g. Creo to STEP), revision checks (e.g. SolidWorks 2020 Rev 1 to SolidWorks 2020 Rev 2) or version checks (e.g. NX 11 to NX12).
With nearly 30 years of...
