3DM Import for Inventor is a Rhinoceros® 3DM file import add-in for Inventor®. This add-in gives Inventor the ability to import geometric data from 3DM files.
 

3DM Import for Inventor reads polygon mesh data stored in 3DM files and imports it into Inventor. A polygon mesh in a 3DM file is comprised of a set of triangular and/or quad faces. 3DM Import for Inventor creates trimmed planar surfaces for each triangle/quad and knits them together to create a body. If the polygon mesh is closed (i.e. it does not contain boundary edges) then 3DM Import for Inventor will create a closed body feature, otherwise an open surface will be created.

3DM Import for Inventor is very easy to use. Once installed, it automatically loads itself into Inventor and adds a new submenu called "3DMImport" to the Inventor menu.


Pricing

3DM Import for Inventor is priced at 195 EUR only. This is the price of a single user license. For your bulk-licensing needs please contact us.


Installation & Usage

Since 3DM Import for Inventor is an add-in for Inventor, it must be loaded into the Inventor environment before it can be used. Please follow the simple instructions in the 3DM Import for Inventor ReadMe document which is copied into the installation folder.
After you have loaded the add-in file into Inventor, simply click on the menu items in the "3DMImport" submenu to run these new commands. Truly, Software made simple!

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.
