Key points of our conversion solutions

  • Numerous input and/or output formats, and additional modules (Tessellation, PMI, CGR).
  • Configurations adapted to user needs : plug-ins, stand-alone software, or integrated components.
  • Interfaces with their technical documentation, updated quarterly
  • Technical support integrated with R&D teams who interact directly through a custom web interface with each of the integrator users.
  • Developments made internally by a team, experienced inlistening to specific needs.
  • A long-standing contribution to standardisation work to promote interoperability between design offices, with a particular focus on the continuous evolution of the STEP standard.

To better
understand you ...

We need to understand your environment to analyse your data exchange needs and offer you the optimal solution for your situation.
Two minutes to make sure you're on the right track!
  • Are you a 3D engineering software vendor who wants to benefit from a robust data exchange technology that can easily be integrated into your solutions?

    As a company independent of third-party components and potential API limitations, Datakit offers access to data from various native or standard CAD formats. We will need information about the 2D, 3D, model and assembly files you wish to exchange, the types of data involved and the computer platforms in use (Windows, Linux, Mac).

  • Do you regularly work with partner companies that use the same CAD solution or different software?

    Datakit can provide you with "native" data reading solutions, so called because they're dedicated to a particular CAD solution, such as Catia V5, V6, Unigraphics NX, Inventor, SolidEdge, SolidWorks, ProEngineer Creo , etc. – or with neutral STEP, IGES and DXF solutions, including some which are specific to BIM like REVIT or IFC; ACIS or Parasolid CAD models, or web format.

  • Looking for a data exchange solution that complements the version you have?

    Depending on your goals, we can offer you different formats that will enable you to recover simplified models for simple visualisation or integration for digital staging, or a complete geometric representation with all the construction, part design or assembly data.

  • Are you a user of a 3D engineering solution and looking for a standalone converter?

    Our standalone converters, grouped under the CrossManager name, let you convert files from and to most CAD formats, whether native or neutral, and do not require installation of any other software.

  • Are you a Rhino or SolidWorks user looking for a converter for use with these solutions?

    Our Rhino or SolidWorks plug-in converters are grouped under the name CrossCad /Plg. They are each linked to one or the other of these software applications, and therefore require a SolidWorks or Rhino licence on the same workstation.

  • Do you regularly work with partner companies that use the same CAD solution or different software?

    Datakit can provide you with "native" data reading solutions, so called because they're dedicated to a particular CAD solution, such as Catia V5, V6, Unigraphics NX, Inventor, SolidEdge, SolidWorks, ProEngineer Creo , etc. – or with neutral STEP, IGES and DXF solutions, including some which are specific to BIM like REVIT or IFC; ACIS or Parasolid CAD models, or web format.
    Describe your needs in our form

  • Are you looking for a product or a service?

    Datakit can provide you with conversion tools adapted to the software solutions you use and to the size and complexity of the files you wish to exchange. If you want to migrate an entire database of parts or assemblies, we advise you to choose a rental solution that will allow you to use a licence for one year to complete the desired file migration. Datakit does not provide conversion services.

  • Do you need a fixed licence or do you want to share your conversion solution with others?

    Depending on the size of your company and your organisation, we will provide you with one or more rights of use attached to a stand-alone computer, or to a server which will manage these rights of use.
