How to convert Autodesk Inventor (.iam,.ipt) to Onshape?

PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

Autodesk Inventor

Autodesk Inventor is Autodesk's main MCAD "BREP solids" modelling software program which has competed with its rivals of SolidWorks, ProE/Creo, Solid Edge, Unigraphics NX (and partly) CATIA v4/v5 since its original release in 1999.

The file formats of key importance would be ".ipt" which contains the geometry of each part/object in the scene, and, ".iam" files which contain the scene assembly information.

Conversion from Autodesk Inventor into Okino software is handled by these 3 ideal methods:

• Via DWF-3D files exported from Inventor. This is the most ideal and "least mentally taxing" conversion method. It also supports material and texture map conversion.
• Via native import of the .iam or .ipt files,
• Via STEP AP214 or IGES 'BREP solids' files.

Onshape

PTC's Onshape is a CAD software modelling package accessed via SASS. It allows teams to collaborate on a single shared design, the same way multiple writers can work together editing a shared document via cloud services. It is primarily focused on mechanical CAD (MCAD) and is used for product and machinery design across many industries, including consumer electronics, mechanical machinery, medical devices, 3D printing, machine parts, and industrial equipment.

Converting from OnShape to Okino software can be done with native SolidWorks files (preferred), STEP AP214 (preferred), IGES, Parasolid x_t, Rhino .3dm and COLLADA.

Converting from Okino software to OnShape can be done with JT, Rhino .3dm and Wavefront OBJ.
