International TechneGroup, Incorporated (ITI), is thrilled to announce the launch of CADfix Viz 2, the cutting-edge solution for optimizing and converting 3D CAD model assets for use in visualization and virtual reality systems. This latest release is testament to ITI’s commitment to providing users with a more effective and efficient process for translating CAD models into high-quality lightweight meshes for use in downstream applications.
CADfix Viz 2 brings a host of updates and enhancements. The latest meshing algorithms provide a solid foundation for the CAD to mesh process, offering greater robustness, improved mesh structure and enhanced facet quality for superior results with higher quality visualizations.
Significant advances in the simplification options available help reduce mesh detail and complexity prior to export. The hole, protrusion and internal detail removal tools have all seen improvements in range of function, speed, and accuracy. A new automatic mid-surface tool has been introduced to allow the reduction of thin-walled parts to single surfaces, significantly reducing the triangle count. CADfix Viz 2 can also quickly detect and delete duplicate faceted bodies, and a “Pick Similar” function allows users to rapidly select similar shaped parts for removal or simplification.
Assemblies can be handled more effectively and simplified with a new compression tool to remove duplicates within the assembly structure, and a new “auto-build” function will automatically create instanced parts to remove unnecessary duplicate geometry.
The import and export interfaces in CADfix Viz 2 have been updated to align to the latest industry standards and proprietary CAD formats, and a new export to the Universal Screen Description (USD) file format added. The FBX interfaces have also been extended to support important UV maps for visualization.
Henry Bucklow, CADfix Viz Product Manager at International Technegroup, Inc., expressed his enthusiasm for the release, stating, "I’m very excited to share CADfix Viz 2 with our customers, and to see them save time and effort by streamlining their CAD to visualization processes with the enhanced mesh generation and simplification tools.”
International Technegroup, Inc. remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation in the CAD industry. CADfix Viz 2 reflects our ongoing commitment to providing users with powerful and versatile tools that streamline their workflows and elevate their design processes.
