CAD translation refers to the process of converting CAD (Computer-Aided Design) files from one format to another, typically from a native format (like CATIA, Creo, SolidWorks, Inventor, etc) to a neutral format (such as IGES, DWG to DXF, STEP, or JT). This conversion ensures that the geometry, annotations, and other essential data remain consistent and accurate across different CAD systems, facilitating interoperability among various software platforms used in engineering and manufacturing

Benefits of Our CAD Translation Services:

Enhanced Collaboration: By enabling different teams or partners to work with compatible file formats, CAD translation promotes seamless collaboration across various stakeholders in product development.
Reduced Errors: Our professional CAD translation minimizes the risk of errors that can occur when manually converting files or when using incompatible formats. This accuracy is crucial for maintaining data integrity throughout the design process.
Increased Efficiency: Automating the translation process helps speed up workflows, allowing teams to focus on design and innovation rather than troubleshooting compatibility issues.
Support for Compliance: Many industries have specific standards and protocols that must be adhered to. Our CAD translation process often ensures that translated files meet these requirements, aiding in compliance with industry regulations.

ProtoTech Solutions, we are an engineering software development company specializing in a wide range of services, from CAD customization to CAD interoperability solutions. With a proven track record of serving global clients, we excel in CAD translation expertise, ensuring seamless and efficient workflows.
