developed by
Sescoi
Sescoi is a developer of industrial software for computer-aided manufacturing, enterprise resource planning and extended enterprise productivity. Its WorkNC software is one of the market leaders in the CAD/CAM field and is used by more than 25% of ...
for reading, analyzing, and sharing
3D and
2D CAD files without requiring the original CAD application. It was introduced in 2008 and is supported from local Vero offices. The software is available as a viewer and an evaluation version.
Functionality
PartXplore serves as a collaborative viewer for 2D and 3D CAD files, allowing users to measure 3D parts and analyze various properties such as undercut areas, plane surfaces, thickness, volumes, surfaces, and weight. The software also provides dynamic cross-sectional visualization.
PartXplore enables users to add dimensional and geometric measurements, annotations, and labels directly to the
3D model
In 3D computer graphics, 3D modeling is the process of developing a mathematical coordinate-based representation of any surface of an object (inanimate or living) in three dimensions via specialized software by manipulating edges, vertices, an ...
. Additionally, the software facilitates the sharing of 3D parts and assembly files through a standalone application that can be transmitted as an
executable file
In computing, executable code, an executable file, or an executable program, sometimes simply referred to as an executable or binary, causes a computer "to perform indicated tasks according to encoded instructions", as opposed to a data file ...
. The recipient can then access and work on the 3D model received.
