Importable files

In SprutCAM X there is the ability to import a geometrical model from any draftsman's or designer's systems (CAD/modeling) via data exchange files formatted as:

• IGES (*.igs, *.iges);

• STEP (*.step, *.stp);

• DXF (*.dxf);

• PostScript (*.ps, *.eps);

• STL (*.stl);

• PLY (*.ply);

• AMF (*.amf);
  

• VRML (*.vrl);

• SW (*.sldasm, *.sldprt);

• SE (*.asm, *.par, *.psm, *.pwd);

or directly from

• Rhinoceros (*.3dm);

• Parasolid (x_t; x_b).

The number of importable files depends on the system configuration and can be changed optionally.

It is possible to extend the import format list by add-ins supplement. There is Addin Manager to do that. The add-ins are aimed to tune up a collaboration of SprutCAM X with different CAD-systems. Add-ins permit generally SprutCAM X to open directly project files of the CAD-systems.

The geometrical model of a machined part, workpiece, machining equipment can be prepared in any CAD/modeling system and imported into SprutCAM X using any of the supported formats. SprutCAM X can be integrated with any CAD-system. The internal model supports different representations of solid, surface, mesh and curve geometrical objects. Therefore, the representation of the geometrical information in SprutCAM X does not differ from the internal representation of geometry in many CAD-systems, which is very useful for avoiding "damaged" models during transmission from one system to another.
