From Autodesk Inventor to XR Experiences: Simplifying 3D Collaboration and Immersive Training Creation with CAD data

In today’s manufacturing and engineering environments, teams rely heavily on detailed 3D models to bring ideas to life. Autodesk Inventor, a widely used tool for mechanical design and simulation, plays a crucial role in this workflow. But as teams grow more distributed and training needs accelerate, traditional CAD tools and file formats are no longer enough.

 

IQ3Connect bridges this gap by enabling seamless transformation of Autodesk Inventor designs into fully immersive XR experiences—without the need for custom programming or game engine development. Whether your goal is immersive training, design review, or real-time collaboration, IQ3Connect helps your team unlock the full value of your 3D data.

 

Eliminate Bottlenecks in CAD-to-XR Conversion

Historically, converting Inventor files into an XR environment required a complex and time-consuming process—exporting to intermediate formats, cleaning up geometry, importing into a game engine, and building custom interactions. This process often took weeks and required specialized 3D and XR development skills.

 

IQ3Connect eliminates this bottleneck by supporting direct import of Inventor-compatible files (such as STEP or neutral CAD formats) and offering a no-code XR experience creation platform. This allows engineers, designers, and trainers to bypass game engines entirely and get from concept to immersive training module in a fraction of the time.

 

Reuse Your Inventor Models for More Than Just Design

Your 3D models are more than just visual references—they’re assets that can drive collaboration, innovation, and learning.

With IQ3Connect, teams can:

  • Reuse Inventor models in virtual training simulations

  • Conduct design reviews in immersive environments

  • Enable multi-user collaboration across geographies

  • Scale training across roles and locations using web-based XR

Because IQ3Connect is web-native, there’s no need to install software or rely on high-end hardware. Training and collaboration sessions can be launched from a browser on desktops, laptops, or XR headsets.

 

Rapid, Scalable XR Training—Build with CAD No Code Required

IQ3Connect’s no-code interface allows subject matter experts to build immersive training workflows directly from their Inventor models. These workflows can include guided instruction, interactive tasks, and real-time assessments—making it easy to train technicians, operators, and engineers in a hands-on virtual environment.

Updates to Inventor designs? No problem. The platform allows you to easily update the underlying model while preserving your training logic and scene configuration.

 

One Platform for XR Design Reviews and Training

Whether you’re performing a design validation session or building scalable training for your global workforce, IQ3Connect provides one unified platform that leverages your Inventor models across use cases.

  • Reduce training costs by reusing CAD assets

  • Accelerate time-to-productivity with on-demand immersive learning

  • Improve team collaboration through shared, interactive 3D environments

 

Final Thoughts

Autodesk Inventor is a powerful tool for mechanical design—but its value doesn’t have to stop at the design phase. By connecting Inventor to IQ3Connect, you can extend the lifecycle of your 3D models into collaborative and immersive experiences that drive efficiency, learning, and innovation.

 

Transform your Inventor data into interactive XR experiences with IQ3Connect—no code, no delays, no compromise.

Build VR and AR Training with CAD Models—Streamline Your JT to XR Workflow

Streamlining VR & AR Training With JT File Support in iQ3Connect

iQ3Connect support for JT files significantly streamlines the process for bringing 3D CAD designs into immersive experiences, whether for real-time collaboration, training, and experience creation. By using this lightweight file format, the CAD-to-XR pipeline, from model export, to data transfer and processing, can be reduced from hours to minutes.

 

JT files can be exported from most CAD systems such as Siemens NX, Autodesk Inventor, PTC Creo, and Product Lifecycle Management systems such as Siemens Teamcenter.

 

Key Advantages of JT Files in the CAD-to-XR Workflow

1. Rapid, Automated CAD-to-XR Pipeline
With iQ3Connect’s JT file support, you can import large, complex CAD assemblies into virtual reality or augmented reality in just minutes. Benchmark results show:

  • JT files with 10 million polygons: Import into XR in under 30 seconds.

  • JT files with 100 million polygons: Ready for immersive training in under 10 minutes.

2. Custom Level of Detail for Every Use Case
iQ3Connect lets you define quality settings for each part or assembly. Whether you need high-fidelity visualization for engineering reviews or lightweight models for VR training, JT files support precise optimization.

3. Lightweight & Efficient Data Handling
JT files are specifically designed for efficient data sharing and management, making them perfect for large assemblies and distributed teams. They maintain essential manufacturing information and hierarchy while minimizing file size.

4. Versatile Visualization & Collaboration
Use JT files in iQ3Connect for high-accuracy engineering visualization or optimize for fast, interactive training experiences. The flexibility makes them valuable for manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and beyond.

 

Why Use JT Files for VR and AR Training?

So, what are JT files? .JT (Jupiter Tessellation) is an openly-published ISO-standardized 3D data format for visualization and collaboration. JT files are used across industries such as manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace for data exchange, supplier collaboration, and long-term data retention. They encapsulate intricate geometric details and metadata, including geometry, color, and material properties, while maintaining a lightweight structure.

 

How iQ3Connect Simplifies JT to XR Training Creation

By supporting JT files, iQ3Connect enables:

  • One-click import of CAD models for VR and AR training or real-time collaboration

  • Faster CAD-to-XR conversion with minimal manual processing

  • Seamless sharing and review of complex engineering data in immersive environments
