How to convert Blender (.blend) to 3KO (NGRAIN .3ko)?

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.

Blender

Blender is a free and open-source 3D computer graphics software tool set used for creating animated films, visual effects, art, 3D-printed models, motion graphics, interactive 3D applications, virtual reality, and, formerly, video games. Blender v1.0 was first released in January 1995.

Based on decades of hand's on experience with Blender, 3D files can be imported and exported between Okino's conversion software and Blender using COLLADA. Second runner-up would be FBX. Okino software allows for the conversion of all major 3D DCC, animation, CAD, MCAD, GIS and AEC files for Blender usage. The .blend native file format is not directly supported.

3KO

'3KO' is a 3D voxel/mesh visualization file format designed by NGRAIN Corporation of Canada (previously known as i3Dimensions). It was used with their interactive 3D training solutions for the aerospace, defense, and manufacturing sectors. It is generally a "one way" format from such software packages as 3ds Max and Maya into the NGRAIN software.

Going back in time to the 2003 era, Okino and NGRAIN collaborated on the development of the NGRAIN 3KO exporter within Okino software.
