X3D to IGES - CAD Exchanger

IGES

IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification) was among first vendor-neutral CAD formats designed to enable interoperability between different CAD systems. The latest versions of IGES have been approved by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) and published by US PRO (U.S. Product Data Association). The latest officially approved version of the IGES standard is version 5.3 which was published in 1996. Nonetheless, IGES remains a broadly used format (along with STEP) supported by all major CAD/CAM/CAE systems such as CATIA, Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks, Solid Edge, NX, Pro/Engineer, Creo and multiple others. IGES files usually have *.igs or *.iges file name extensions.

X3D

X3D is ISO standard XML-based file format for representing 3D computer graphics. X3D features extensions to VRML (e.g. CAD, geospatial, humanoid animation, NURBS etc.), the ability to encode the scene using an XML syntax as well as the Open Inventor-like syntax of VRML97, or binary formatting, and enhanced application programming interfaces (APIs).

The X3D extension supports multi-stage and multi-texture rendering; it also supports shading with lightmap and normalmap. Starting in 2010, X3D has supported deferred rendering architecture. Now X3D can import SSAO, CSM and Realtime Environment Reflection/Lighting. The user can also use optimizations including BSP/QuadTree/OctTree or culling in the X3D scene.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to buy production license?

Navigate to our on-line shop there you can pay via plastic card or PayPal. The wire-transfer is also possible for orders over $500.

In what currency the prices listed?

All prices are listed in USD.

How CAD Exchanger is licensed?

How do I activate the license?

The license key is delivered shortly upon payment. To activate the license navigate to 'Information' panel' > 'Activate License', click 'Activate' and choose the received license key in the file dialogue.

What happens if my computer breaks down?

Since CAD Exchanger is tied to the specific hardware if computer breaks down, the license won't be applicable anymore. For your convenience we are open to provide up to one additional license free of charge in case your current license won't be applicable any more.

Do I have to renew the subscription annually?

All production licenses are perpetual, which means that you do not have to keep the subscription active. Active subscription grants you the access to all releases and updates.
