Advanced model size reduction using CADfix

Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR) are increasingly prevalent in the field of design and engineering. Yet, traditional 3D CAD geometry—often too detailed—is poorly suited for VR/AR/MR systems, which demand lighter model representations for quick animation and manipulation. To address this challenge, CADfix now offers a specialized solution for CAD conversion and simplification—CADfix VIZ.

Streamlining and Enhancing CAD Models with CADfix VIZ

CADfix VIZ is an innovative solution that simplifies the task of preparing 3D data for easier reuse in VR/AR/MR applications. It automatically converts large or complex CAD assemblies into lightweight, visually-optimized triangular meshes. Advanced simplification tools and intelligent decimation algorithms reduce both file size and the number of triangles, ensuring efficient integration into visualization systems.

Creating Lightweight, Detailed Mesh Models

CADfix VIZ rapidly removes unnecessary details from the original CAD model, such as small parts, drill holes, protrusions, and internal details, while retaining sufficient triangles to represent the model in VR/AR/MR settings. User-defined tolerance thresholds further allow CADfix VIZ's decimation process to reduce mesh and file size.

Key Features of CADfix VIZ:

  • Import: Supports major CAD and mesh formats.
  • Mesh Generation: Multiple levels of simplification.
  • Object Elimination: Removes trivial objects and invisible internal parts.
  • Feature Removal: Deletes unnecessary CAD features like holes, logos, and text.
  • Mesh Decimation: Reduces dense meshes.
  • Wrapping: Transforms complex parts (Box, Convex Hull, Shrinkwrap).
  • Assembly Structure Optimization: Optimizes assembly hierarchies.
  • Export: Outputs to major mesh formats like FBX, OBJ, XGL, ZGL, supporting assemblies, colors, transparencies, vertex normals for smooth gradients, and LOD options for facet control.

CADfix VIZ offers a powerful, flexible solution for simplifying CAD models for use in VR/AR/MR environments. By enabling engineers to create compact yet detailed model representations, CADfix VIZ streamlines 3D data preparation processes and saves valuable time for professionals.
