Designers and anyone seeking a tool to read, write, import, and manage 2D and 3D CAD files

About HOOPS Exchange

Import over 30 CAD file formats into your application with the HOOPS Exchange SDK for CAD data translation, featuring fast and accurate read and write support for 2D and 3D CAD file formats including CATIA®, SOLIDWORKS®, Inventor™, Revit™, Creo®, NX™, Solid Edge® and many more, all through a single API. The HOOPS Exchange SDK is a set of C++ software libraries that enables development teams to quickly add reliable 2D and 3D CAD import and export to their applications, accessing a broad range of data including boundary representation (BREP), product manufacturing information (PMI), model tree, views, persistent IDs, styles, construction geometry, visualization and more without depending on any CAD system. Simplify CAD data import into your application and increase your 3D interoperability with fast and accurate access to over 30 CAD formats. The HOOPS Exchange API reads CAD data from popular 2D and 3D file formats and converts that data into the highly compressible file format PRC.
