Features

C4W masters the conversion between the different types of modeling methods (solids, surfaces, polyhedrons) and the translation between the different formats of exchange files for 3D geometry.

The next figure shows our wide range of specialized translators. Each one allows to convert one input format into one of the available output ones, taking care of the peculiarities of the modeling methods linked to each format. See below a reminder of the different formats used in CAD.

A complete data structure

The intermediate data structure used by 3D Translate allows to store all entities without any conversion or transformation; this explains the quality of the exchange.

Conversion is limited to the minimum necessary

Going from an exact solid model to a polyhedron asks for a mesh generation, our mesh generator warrants the same air tightness of the polyhedron as of the solid model (even better some times)

All definitions of curves and surfaces are kept

Circles stay circles, B-spline stay B-splines with the same parameters, Bezier stay Bezier, etc...
