Solidworks Import SolidWorks Approximately 23% of CAD professionals globally use SolidWorks on daily basis. Together they generate tremendous volume of 3D files in native format, which are troublesome to feed into 3rd party major and minor CAD systems due to format specifics. SolidWorks files (previous to version 2015) use the Microsoft Structured Storage file format. This means that there are various files embedded within each SLDDRW (drawing files), SLDPRT (part files), SLDASM (assembly files) file, including preview bitmaps and metadata sub-files. CAD Exchanger seamlessly reads SolidWorks data and converts to the file format of your choice.

Today it is widely used in a range of applications, including SolidWorks, SolidEdge, NX, Microstation, Ansys, Abaqus and others. Parasolid has two primary file extensions: .x_t, which is text based, and .x_b – binary-based format. Parasolid is also used to provide precise geometrical definitions of parts in JT files (as XT B-Rep data segments).

This file format is supported by many other software packages; it is widely used for rapid prototyping, 3D printing and computer-aided manufacturing. STL files describe only the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object without any representation of color, texture or other common CAD model attributes. The STL format specifies both ASCII and binary representations. Binary files are more common, since they are more compact.

The file has been adopted by many 3D graphics application vendors. The OBJ file format is a simple data-format that represents 3D geometry alone — namely, the position of each vertex, the UV position of each texture coordinate vertex, vertex normals, and the faces that make each polygon defined as a list of vertices, and texture vertices. Vertices are stored in a counter-clockwise order by default, making explicit declaration of face normals unnecessary. OBJ coordinates have no units, but OBJ files can contain scale information in a human readable comment line.

  • Visualisation and Generalisation of 3D City Models
    Visualisation and Generalisation of 3D City Models Bo Mao August 2010 TRITA SoM 2010-08 ISSN 1653-6126 ISRN KTH/SoM/-10/08/-SE ISBN 978-91-7415-715-4 © Bo Mao 2010 Licentiate Thesis Geoinformatics Division Department of Urban Planning and Environment Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) SE-100 44 STOCKHOLM, Sweden ii Abstract 3D city models have been widely used in different applications such as urban planning, traffic control, disaster management etc. Effective visualisation of 3D city models in various scales is one of the pivotal techniques to implement these applications. In this thesis, a framework is proposed to visualise the 3D city models both online and offline using City Geography Makeup Language (CityGML) and Extensible 3D (X3D) to represent and present the models. Then, generalisation methods are studied and tailored to create 3D city scenes in multi- scale dynamically. Finally, the quality of generalised 3D city models is evaluated by measuring the visual similarity from the original models. In the proposed visualisation framework, 3D city models are stored in CityGML format which supports both geometric and semantic information. These CityGML files are parsed to create 3D scenes and be visualised with existing 3D standard. Because the input and output in the framework are all standardised, it is possible to integrate city models from different sources and visualise them through the different viewers. Considering the complexity of the city objects, generalisation methods are studied to simplify the city models and increase the visualisation efficiency. In this thesis, the aggregation and typification methods are improved to simplify the 3D city models.

  • Digital Data Processing Strategies for Large Area Maskless Photopolymerization Anirudh Rudraraju, Suman Das , Georgia Institute of Technology
    Digital Data Processing Strategies for Large Area Maskless Photopolymerization Anirudh Rudraraju, Suman Das , Georgia Institute of Technology Abstract: Large Area Maskless Photopolymerization (LAMP) utilizes scanning spatial light modulators that require layer slice data in the form of high ‐resolution bitmaps. Three different strategies have been implemented to fill this need. First, bitmaps were generated by direct slicing of CAD models using Spatial Technology’s ACIS kernel. Second, bitmaps were generated from STL files through ray ‐tracing. Finally, an approach involving reconstruction of topological information from STL files for efficient slicing and image generation is being developed. This paper gives a brief description and implementation details of each of these strategies as well as data compression techniques being pursued by the authors. This work is sponsored by DARPA grant HR0011 ‐08 ‐1‐0075. Introduction: Large Area Maskless Photopolymerization (LAMP) technique is an integral rapid manufacturing process which uses a spatial light modulator to expose whole areas in a single flash. The spatial light modulator in our case is a Digital Micro-mirror Device (DMD) chip developed by Texas Instruments. It is essentially a small chip with millions of tiny mirrors that can be turned on and off by feeding an 'exposure bitmap'. Light from the UV-source is shone onto the DMD chip and the various mirrors turn on and off accordingly to project the input image on to the photocurable resin surface. The head, consisting of the light source and the DMD chip, raster scans the entire exposure region which gives much higher speeds than conventional prototyping processes where typically a laser beam is used to raster scan the exposure region line by line.

  • Survey of 3D Digital Heritage Repositories and Platforms
    Virtual Archaeology Review, 11(23): 1-15, 2020 https://doi.org/10.4995/var.2020.13226 © UPV, SEAV, 2015 Received: March 4, 2020 Accepted: May 26, 2020 SURVEY OF 3D DIGITAL HERITAGE REPOSITORIES AND PLATFORMS ESTUDIO DE LOS REPOSITORIOS Y PLATAFORMAS DE PATRIMONIO DIGITAL EN 3D Erik Champion , Hafizur Rahaman * Faculty of Humanities, Curtin University, Bentley 6845, Australia. [email protected]; [email protected] Highlights: • A survey of relevant features from eight institutional and eleven commercial online 3D repositories in the scholarly field of 3D digital heritage. • Presents a critical review of their hosting services and 3D model viewer features. • Proposes six features to enhance services of 3D repositories to support the GLAM sector, heritage scholars and heritage communities. Abstract: Despite the increasing number of three-dimensional (3D) model portals and online repositories catering for digital heritage scholars, students and interested members of the general public, there are very few recent academic publications that offer a critical analysis when reviewing the relative potential of these portals and online repositories. Solid reviews of the features and functions they offer are insufficient; there is also a lack of explanations as to how these assets and their related functionality can further the digital heritage (and virtual heritage) field, and help in the preservation, maintenance, and promotion of real-world 3D heritage sites and assets. What features do they offer? How could their feature list better cater for the needs of the GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) sector? This article’s priority is to examine the useful features of 8 institutional and 11 commercial repositories designed specifically to host 3D digital models.
