CrossCAD/PRO : For who ?
Big industrial groups, mould makers and sub-contractors may wish to get their own tools for 3D conversion and data correction. Most of them are very familiar with the problem of restoring data with different Cad Software and the related need to correct and simplify models. They appreciate to get one unique conversion and healing solution that enable all users to have models that have been checked and repaired according to the same criteria. They are very sensitive to the time-saving issue and ways to avoid rework. In fact, anyone who has spent hours troubleshooting a model can imagine the sense of security that a solution like this can deliver and will quickly adopt a system that improve productivity as well as relationships between companies, customers and sub-contractors and all the other people who are involved in a project.
On the technical point of view, it is often indispensable to correct inaccurate points, gaps, hanging edges and reversed topologies. Deleting unseen singularities, adjusting the number of poles, detecting and correcting discontinuities are often indispensable steps in producing a reliable model. Not to forget anomalies like tears, holes or slivers that cause problems at the machining stage.
CrossXpert imports, analyzes, repairs and exports your CAD models
CrossXpert is the perfect tool for all users of CAD software who need an efficient way to exchange their data, without sacrificing any of the integrity or completeness of their original geometry and topology.

CrossXpert offers users powerful tools for analyzing and repairing models and guaranteeing efficient, fluid workflow. Its approach, based on solid model representations for analysis and viewing, comes with an easy learning curve.
Purchase or service on demand?
Depending on how often you need to use conversions and the difficulties you encounter in making corrections, our specialists will advise you on the best way to solve your problems:
- purchase one or more user licenses;
- send us your models to convert, either as individual files or complete CAD databases.
Interoperability issues?
CrossXpert detects an invalid surface and … fixes it.
All too often, incompatible geometry or topology issues spoil the working relationships between design offices in the extended corporate environment.
CrossXpert solves these problems that typically appear during data transfer processes by:
- adapting model tolerances to the precision level used by the target modeler;
- carrying out the necessary repairs to rebuild a VALID solid in the target application.
Moreover, the integrity of the original models remains absolutely intact: the geometry cannot be distorted in automatic conversion mode.
Do you need to repair and slim down your complex models?
Simplifying models in CrossXpert |
CAD models are increasingly part of the day-to-day business processes in which design offices are involved. Manufacturing, QC and even the marketing and sales departments are looking for ways to access their models to estimate costs and prices, or get their customers to approve a mock-up for a new project. In general, making information available to a broader audience means using simpler models.
With CrossXpert you significantly simplify and slim down your parts and assemblies.
According to needs, users eliminate features on a case-by-case basis ? fillets, holes, bosses to:
- make data processing more efficient in FEM mesh generation;
- make big assemblies easier to view …
What CAD files do you use?
The quality of data exchange is a key factor in any successful, active B2B collaboration or joint development program.
CrossXpert directly supports models designed with all the leading CAD software.
According to the solutions or services you’re looking for and your localisation, Datakit will find and propose the best possible contact among its worldwide network of resellers or will directly get in touch with you.
