3D data is playing an important role as communication medium throughout the entire product lifecycle - from conceptual design to downstream processes including CAE analyses, manufacturing and after-sales - and therefore requires reliable IP protection. Companies are facing large amounts of data that need to be stored securely, transferred efficiently between partners, customers, suppliers etc., and handled in various tools in defined business and engineering processes. Increasing digitalization and global value-added networks have a strong impact on collaborative engineering. This is an important basis for an efficient collaborative engineering in globally distributed development.

Lightweight CAD models enable the efficient sharing and communication of relevant 3D product information as the storage of redundant and confidential data is avoided. In this context, simplification of 3D geometry provides a valuable solution to companies through enveloping, defeaturing and extraction of inner/outer surfaces. Especially sharing of 3D CAD models between OEMs and suppliers as well as utilization in downstream processes require file size reduction for sufficient performance and IP (Intellectual Property) protection while maintaining the initial design intent.

It does not store any personal data.In collaborative engineering environments, handling of large size 3D CAD models with a high level of detail is becoming more and more challenging.
