CAD Model Migration for sheet metal and machining components
Migrate your CAD models seamlessly while preserving feature history, parameters, and design intent across platforms. Ensure accurate, structured, and fully usable models without data loss or rework.
Data preserved
- Feature history and model tree
- Sketches, constraints, and dimensions
- Parameters, relations, and equations
- Material properties and metadata
- Assembly structure (where applicable)
Component types
- Sheet metal parts
- Machined (prismatic) components
- Standard parts (selective migration)
Preserved parameters & features
- Sheet thickness
- Bend radius
- K-factor / bend allowance
- Base wall and flanges
- Bend features and reliefs
- Flat pattern logic
Recreated or validated
- Corner treatments
- Form tools (louvers, embosses)
- Custom bend tables
- Manufacturing rules
Validation checks
- Flat pattern accuracy
- Bend angle and radius consistency
- DXF output comparison
Preserved parameters & features
- Sketch-based extrudes and revolves
- Hole features (drill, tap, CB, CS)
- Patterns and mirrors
- Datum features and references
Recreated or optimized
- Complex fillets and blends
- Advanced surface features
- Derived or imported geometry
Validation checks
- Feature regeneration
- Critical dimension comparison
- Tolerance and GD&T review
1. Assessment & classification
Identify critical vs non-critical parts
2. Source CAD cleanup Resolve errors
standardize sketches
3. Feature-based translation
Map source features to target CAD features
4. Parametric validation
Regenerate features and parameters
5. Selective rebuild
Adjust complex or failed features
6. Drawing regeneration
Automated drawing creation in target CAD
7. PLM reassociation
Update part numbers, revisions, lifecycle
- Fully editable sheet metal and machined parts
- Minimal re-modeling effort
- Retained design intelligence
- Faster design changes in new CAD
- Long-term data sustainability
