Okino’s PolyTrans Provides Conversion of All Major 3D CAD and DCC Files into the NGRAIN 3KO File Format
New 3D exporter allows Okino's PolyTrans to re-purpose all major 3D CAD and DCC file formats into NGRAIN 3D Knowledge Objects.
Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) November 16, 2005 -- Okino Computer Graphics announced today that it is now officially shipping the newly developed NGRAIN exporter module with each copy of its PolyTrans and NuGraf software distribution, at no cost to current customers still within a valid maintenance period. This integrated module will allow NGRAIN customers to directly and robustly re-purpose complex 3D datasets from upstream applications into optimized datasets for NGRAIN's interactive 3D installation, maintenance and repair training solutions for the military and defense manufacturing markets.
NGRAIN users will be able to create 3D Knowledge Objects (3KOs) by converting native CAD packages and file formats such as ACIS SAT, Alias .wire, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk AutoCAD and Mechanical Desktop, CATIA v4, CATIA v5, IGES (solids, surfaces and bounded surfaces), IronCAD, Parasolid, Pro/Engineer, Raindrop Geomagic, Rhino-3D/OpenNURBS, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, STEP, STL, XGL, VDA-FS and many other industry standard file formats and authoring/animation programs.
The new plug-in module will allow 3KOs to be exported from any application that currently supports the Okino PolyTrans converter interface and API, including the stand-alone Okino PolyTrans and NuGraf software, PolyTrans-for-MAX, PolyTrans-for-Maya, PolyTrans-for-XSI and other third party vendor software with integrated PolyTrans support.
“NGRAIN has become renowned as a major provider of interactive 3D training solutions for the aerospace, defense, and manufacturing sectors, whereas Okino has become well known as a major provider of 3D CAD, DCC and VisSim conversion technology for the same market segments over the last 17 years," said Robert Lansdale, President and CEO of Okino Computer Graphics, Inc. “It was a natural progression for Okino and NGRAIN to collaborate on the development on a tight pipeline between Okino 3D conversion software and NGRAIN’s interactive 3D training solutions. Rather than purchasing many disparate conversion utilities, packages and licenses, the Okino/NGRAIN collaboration provides customers with a one stop solution for funneling all major 3D data sources into NGRAIN software at a reasonable and fixed cost, with excellent hands-on customer support. I am pleased to see this new product offering as another result of our ongoing and evolving working relationship with NGRAIN."
“NGRAIN’s focus is to provide a complete end-to-end training solution. For our customers that have existing 3D models, we partner with companies such as Okino to provide a translation solution. With PolyTrans, our customers can quickly and easily convert most 3D file formats directly to the NGRAIN format” said Erik Kaas, Director of Strategic Business Development at NGRAIN. “Okino has been an NGRAIN partner for many years. Together, we provide a complete solution that allows our customers to repurpose existing 3D content for their downstream training needs."
