Actify has licensed PLM Vis software from the PLM Solutions division of global services leader EDS to enable its SpinFire family of products to support the PLM Vis JT data format The licensing agreement with EDS PLM Solutions provides Actify with native translation technology that enables Actify to deliver visualisation for EDS' JT format

Actify's CAD importers are modules that enable its SpinFire Professional and Actify Server software to open CAD files without the use of a CAD system.

Actify CAD importers open and read files from all major CAD systems, and convert them into Actify's compact, secure and shareable 3D file format.

"The JT format is a communications standard for many of the world's largest manufacturers", said Curt Feldtkeller, President, Business Development for EDS PLM Solutions.

"We are pleased Actify is helping extend the reach of this standard throughout the manufacturing chain, and that Actify recognises the need for accurate file conversions.

Customers can always trust importer technologies developed with native PLM Vis JT technologies from EDS and our recent agreement with Actify ensures that all customers using and relying upon PLM Vis JT data are well supported regardless of the data version being used".

"Our agreement with EDS PLM Solutions is an important milestone in Actify's ongoing efforts to serve the automotive industry and to compliment EDS' efforts behind JT", says Actify President and CEO, Randy Ochs.

"The JT format is a standard in the supply chain for many manufacturers.

Our customers across the globe have been asking for JT support so they can better collaborate with their customers who communicate through JT.

Using JT translation technologies directly from EDS PLM Solutions ensures Actify customers are receiving the best JT importer technology available in the market".
