JT File to XR Support: Streamlining 3D Collaboration and Immersive Training Creation

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.

Some of the specific advantages of JT file support include:  

• Rapid and full automated CAD-to-XR pipeline: In our benchmarking tests, JT files with 10 million polygons have been imported into XR experiences in under 30 seconds and JT files with 100 million polygons take under 10 minutes to process.
• Level of Details: User defined quality settings can retrieve the optimal level of detail from the JT file for each part and geometric object for the application at hand.
• Precise Custom Level of Detail: User defined quality settings can be used to generate a precise level of detail from JT, optimizing the model to support the intended use case.
• Lightweight and Efficient: JT files are designed to be lightweight, making them easier to share and manage compared to other 3D formats. They efficiently handle large assemblies, reducing the file size without losing important details such as the model hierarchy and manufacturing information.
• Visualization and Optimization: JT files can be created and optimized for various use cases, whether for high-quality visualization, allowing users to view and manipulate their model with engineering accuracy, or lightweight visualization to support training and general usage.

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.

By introducing JT file support, iQ3Connect not only simplifies the process of sharing and collaborating on high-quality 3D data in an XR environment but also streamlines the workflow for bringing complex CAD models into immersive and interactive training experiences.
