Close-up of 3Dmodelserver s process flow. IGES and SAT translations. You can use 3Dmodelserver to translate between IGES and SAT formats. Feature recognition . For example, a spline surface may be converted to a cylinder, which is then better interpreted as a hole feature.
Cost is relative.
The cost for using 3Dmodelserver varies from model to model. Consider the cost in context with the complexity of your geometry and the types of translation difficulties you are experiencing with your partners. Even the smallest cost is too much if the most critical geometry in your model falls within the percent of the model that is not healed, no matter how small that percentage is. But a high cost may be cost-effective if it helps you serve a new customer. Define your difficulties .
