Datakit announces the version 2018.3 of its CAD conversion tools

New Creo View format reader and new CAD formats versions supported.

Lyon, France, July 23rd, 2018,


The latest update of Datakits CAD data exchange software range is now available!

This version adds the following improvements:

- New CAD formats versions are supported: Inventor 2019, IFC 4 add1, Creo Parametric 5.0 and Revit 2019.

- A Creo View format reader is now available in CrossCad/Ware SDK, thus completing the Creo Parametric format reading, already provided by Datakit for many years.
This new reader enables software vendors to add CreoView import capabilities to their own application by using Datakits API.
They can thus extract geometry (mesh), assemblies, colors and meta data (mass, volume, materials…) contained in Creo View files (.ol, .ed, .edz, .pvs and .pvz files).

This version also benefits from the constant improvement of the dozens of CAD converters provided by Datakit. Indeed, they are maintained constantly, in order to improve their quality and to process new entities, while optimizing the execution time.

Datakit tools remain completely independent and dont require any third-party license.

Users wanting to try Datakit software can download it and get a trial license on CrossManager and CrossCad/Plg official pages.

Software vendors interested in CrossCad/Ware can visit the API presentation page and contact Datakit to get information relevant to their activity.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
