Sunseeker International has recently implemented the Unigraphics NX collaborative product development and manufacturing software suite at its shipyard headquarters on the UK's south coast.
"When we formed the JT Open Program in November 2003, UGS made a commitment to our customers to publish JT when certain conditions were met," said Chuck Grindstaff, Executive VP of Products, UGS.
"Now, the JT Open Management Review Board has unanimously agreed that JT's current high level of industry adoption and JT's technical maturity justifies immediate action be taken to publish it".
"This is the next logical step in the evolution of JT as the pervasive 3D data standard in PLM and further validates UGS's commitment to provide open software for the global manufacturing industry".
JT serves as a common language to share 3D product data and increase productivity.
Its rapid adoption has prompted several leading software vendors to JT-enable their applications to support and add value to the interoperability, collaboration and product visualisation made possible by JT.
By publishing a reference to the JT file format, UGS is facilitating broader adoption of the format to make it viable in the long term as an industry standard.
UGS plans to have the JT reference ready to publish during the fourth quarter of 2006.
More details will be announced later this year.
