3D InterOp Suite
Application developers face
data challenges
Increased complexity from multiple industry formats
contributing to project delays
Poor quality data translation resulting in problems
for downstream applications
Significant expense incurred due to data
imperfections becoming apparent after
manufacturing
Project maintenance costs related to changes
introduced by new versions of CAD formats

3D InterOp delivers optimal productivity,
quality, and cost reduction to solve
these challenges
Exchange of solid, surface (B-rep), wireframe and PMI
via a variety of neutral and native 3D formats plus
product structure and facets
Faster time-to-market, lower support costs, easier
market adoption based on higher quality data
translation
Access to 3D CAD data without extensive code
modification or purchase of native applications
Availability of regular product updates delivering
support for the latest versions of data formats
The 3D InterOp Suite from Spatial delivers the highest
quality data exchange between CAD formats. Many of
today’s leading design, engineering, and manufacturing
applications incorporate 3D InterOp for their data
translation.

3D InterOp Delivers Productivity
3D InterOp delivers an extensible translation platform for
any 3D application to better enable data re-use. All 3D
InterOp translators use the same convenient plug and
play ‘Connect’ architecture. This interface uses a ‘Write
One, Read Many’ concept. The addition of an InterOp
translator to an application is a quick and simple process,
requiring as few as four lines of code.

3D InterOp Delivers High Quality
Data Exchange
With over 20 years of experience in delivering 3D
geometry components, Spatial understands the
importance of high quality data translation. Problems
associated with data exchange may not become apparent
until later in the data flow when investigation and
correction of problems is more difficult, more costly and
requires more investigation. Our experience in delivering
solutions across multiple industries, compiling in a large
comprehensive test suite, ensures the highest level of
quality and support.

3D InterOp Delivers Reduced Project Costs
Problems in data translation dramatically increase project
costs by requiring additional development, testing and
support resources. In addition, testing and debugging of
downstream applications are increased.
Updates to the translators included in 3D InterOp and
the introduction of support for emerging formats allows
developers to future-proof their applications, reducing
future updates or even extending the time-in-market of
their application.
