A CCE product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 27, 2001

Cadcam-E.Com, the Internet-based Cad/Cam data conversion service, has introduced a new version of its Unigraphics to Pro/Engineer conversion service that reads Unigraphics files up to version 17

Cadcam-E.Com, the Internet-based Cad/Cam data conversion service, has introduced a new version of its Unigraphics to Pro/Engineer conversion service that reads Unigraphics files up to version 17 (uncompressed files only) and writes Pro/Engineer Part (.prt) files from Versions 18, 19, 20, 2000i and 2000i2.

The ability to support the latest file formats adds an important new capability to this conversion service, which was already the only way to convert Unigraphics to Pro/Engineer files without purchasing software or uploading part files to a third party.

The ability to read Unigraphics data from within Pro/Engineer and utilize it in a modeling session also means that contract manufacturers and other Pro/Engineer users can achieve dramatic savings by eliminating the need to purchase a Unigraphics license.

Offered by Compunix and Cimsoftek, two leading producers of CAD translators, the Cadcam-E.Com website delivers interoperability solutions to the user's desktop over the web.

The user simply registers for the service and downloads the translation software and installs it on their desktop.

The security of design data is assured, as data never leaves user's desktop.

Running the conversion application on the desktop also provides the fastest conversion speed.

This approach fits the business model of contract design and manufacturing operations and many other firms perfectly since the cost of the translation can be charged to the customer's project.

Running the conversion application on the desktop also provides the fastest conversion speed.

The Cimpro-UG solution is completely integrated within the Pro/Engineer environment and has the same look and feel as Pro/Engineer.

It reads Unigraphics data files into Pro/Engineer without requiring a Unigraphics license.

All 3D geometry entities are converted to equivalent Pro/Engineer entities, including solids and assemblies.

The program is supported on all platforms that support Pro/Engineer and is very simple to operate, providing "one-button" translation.

In addition to Unigraphics to Pro/Engineer translations, Cadcam-E.Com also offers conversion solutions between Catia, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Mastercam, Mechanical Desktop, Surfcam and Varimetrix systems and Parasolid, Acis, Iges and Step formats.

Feature-based translations, Legacy Data translations and Engineering Services are also offered.
