We sell five translator products developed specifically to work with IntegrityWare, Inc. libraries by HarmonyWare, Inc. Our customer tell us they think these are some of the best translation products available anywhere. The IGES and STEP translators are import data from many different CAD systems extremely well. The Translators are available as separate add on products. The following file formats are supported:

• IGES - Initial Graphics Exchange Specification
• STEP - ISO Standard Format Geometry/Topology/Assemblies
• Rhino - *.3dm - openNURBS (Robert McNeel and Assoc. TM)
• SAT - ACIS Geometry Kernel Data File (Spatial TM)
• VDAFS - German Neutral File Format

All of the translators utilize IntegrityWare geometry and topology tools to clean up many of the anomolies found in different CAD systems. The translators utilize geometry measurement tools to measure gaps and set appropriate tolerances for edges and vertices. The IntegrityWare topological objects (Edges, Faces, Vertices) utilize an addaptive tolerancing scheme to adapt to the accuracy of the incoming data. Therefore, no "Healing" is required to deal effectively with imported data. Healing is dangerous because it modifies the surface geometry and in fact may change the continuity and smoothness the underlying surface. Because the IntegrityWare tolerancing scheme is so comprehensive, there is also no need to "Scale" the objects into a specified domain. The underlying algorithms work well with small objects (1.0e-5) and large objects (1.0e10).
