The latest version of the world's leading 3D CAD repair & healing software is now available.
Paris, Monday, September 6th 2021. ITI TranscenData announced today the release of CADfix 12 SP2, the latest edition of its leading CAD interoperability tool which tackles the ever present problems of 3D model data exchange and re-use between different engineering applications. CADfix allows the user to import CAD data, efficiently repair and adapt it, and export in the most suitable form for reuse in the downstream system, eliminating the need for expensive CAD model rework.
This service pack is applicable for use on both Windows and Linux operating systems. As well as extensive updates on import and export interfaces, this service pack has some significant updates on key tools such as hole/protrusion removal and mass-properties reporting. - See next a list of main updates to this product.
