How to convert Unigraphics NX (UG NX) 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.

Unigraphics NX

Unigraphics NX, or just "NX" is a BREP solids modelling software package with roots that go back to the early 1980s. In 2002 the prior Unigraphics and I-DEAS software packages were merged to create the next generation of solids modelling software called just "NX".

In terms of Okino sales, UG NX comes in within the top 3 of most requested MCAD solids modelling file conversions, along with SolidWorks and ProEngineer/Creo, even if they all focus on slightly different markets.

In simple terms, the best and most reliable way to transfer data from UG NX to Okino software is with the STEP AP214 file format. Other methods include JT files and Parasolid files.

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.
