3DM Export for Pro/ENGINEER - Rhino 3DM file export plug-in for Pro/ENGINEER

3DM Export for Pro/ENGINEER is a Rhinoceros/OpenNURBS file export plug-in for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire. This plug-in gives Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire the ability to export 3D solid and surface data from a Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire part and assembly geometry to meshes in a 3DM file.

3DM Export for Pro/ENGINEER tessellates solid bodies in a Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire document into a set of triangular meshes. These meshes are then exported to a 3DM file as mesh objects. The 3DM file can then be imported into a variety of CAD applications.

3DM Export for Pro/ENGINEER is very easy to use as it adds new commands to Pro/ENGINEER. It also adds a submenu to the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire menu called "3DMExport".

3DM Export for Pro/ENGINEER comes with a detailed documentation as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time.

The 3DM File Format

The 3DM (3D Model) file format is the native file format of Rhinoceros, the NURBS modeling software from Robert McNeel & Associates. The OpenNURBS Initiative was founded by Robert McNeel & Associates in January 2000, with the sole purpose of providing CAD, CAM, CAE and computer graphics software users reliable methods for transferring 3D geometry between applications via the 3DM file format. TerrainCAD, our terrain generation, editing and modeling software, also uses the 3DM file format as its native file format.
