Cadcam-E has introduced new versions of its Unigraphics to Mechanical Desktop and IGES conversion services that support Unigraphics Version 18.

Cadcam-E has introduced new versions of its Unigraphics to Mechanical Desktop and IGES conversion services that support Unigraphics Version 18 CIMMDT-UG now works within Mechanical Desktop Versions 4.0, 5.0 and 6.0 and can read uncompressed Unigraphics files and assemblies from Versions 14 through 18

The new version of IGES/UG also supports Unigraphics part and assembly files up to Version 18 and writes IGES files that are compatible with all CAD systems that support IGES.

The ability to read Unigraphics data without owning a Unigraphics license can provide dramatic costs savings to contract manufacturers and other companies that have customers or business partners that use Unigraphics.

Cadcam-E's 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 CIMMDT-UG solution is completely integrated within the Mechanical Desktop environment and provides a one-button translation capability from Unigraphics to Mechanical Desktop.

All 3D geometry entities are converted to equivalent Mechanical Desktop entities, including solids and assemblies.

IGES/UG is a stand-alone, host-independent, direct translator that converts native uncompressed Unigraphics part and assembly files into IGES 5.2 compatible files.

In addition to Unigraphics to Mechanical Desktop and IGES translations, Cadcam-E also offers conversion solutions between Catia, Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks and Mastercam systems and Parasolid, ACIS and Step formats.
