These CAD users can then use a variety of included capabilities to translate, repair and heal CAD models and make them suitable for their Engineering or Manufacturing process. Users can also Validate CAD models against each other to understand if they are different or the same in scenarios including native vs. native, native vs. neutral and neutral vs. neutral, without having any CAD licenses.
