SpinFire products read native CAD files representing both 2D and 3D versions of data. SpinFire is able to distill this data into a very compact, lightweight form called .3D that can be used for viewing, measuring, markup and other interrogative functions. It’s a great solution for a variety of different use models from product data visualization and supply chain collaboration to intellectual property management and product innovation management. There are 4 complementary products:
- SpinFire™ Reader
- SpinFire Professional™
- Spinfire for Microsoft Office™
- Spinfire CAD2CAD™
SpinFire Reader enables viewing of CAD models in Actify’s compressed and secure .3D format – free of charge and without a CAD system. Reader is perfect for those users who mainly need to view and share design data previously import using Spinfire Professional.
SpinFire Professional can import more than 30 different file formats including PDF. SpinFire applications can load multiple files into a single, secure .3D file. A typical CAD file is reduced by 90 to 95% of the original size enabling for easier transfer. The .3D format is what all SpinFire applications read and use. This capability acts as a project capsule with individual internal workspaces for each file loaded. Or users can import multiple models into a single workspace as a combined assembly. If users have a model developed by one CAD system and receive a second file from a different CAD system, then SpinFire can load those two models into a single working assembly enabling fast review and communication. The .3D file encapsulates multiple models, drawings, PDF files or other supported documents allowing the user to work with each through internal worksheets (workspaces). The customer does not need to be concerned with tracking or shipping multiple files since they are combined within the single file.
Spinfire for Microsoft Office enables users to embed static and interactive 3D and 2D design data directly into Word, Excel, PowerPoint documents and Outlook emails. Now knowledge workers throughout the enterprise and supply chain can easily obtain and use data for their individual purposes.
SpinFire CAD2CAD Translator enables multi-CAD data exchange support. With CAD2CAD, you can work more efficiently by smoothly and accurately converting multiple 3D formats. Your team will benefit from the richness of the data that is translated, including visualization (tessellations), product structure, precise B-rep, Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) as well as attributes and metadata. CAD2CAD enables you to share and integrate your product data into a varietyof workflows by accurately converting it into common CAD formats.
