CAD Assistant Reviews & Product Details

OpenCascade is a great 3D CAD viewer with an engaging tool with user friendly interface. It is a free to use tool for individuals and could be used for commercial use too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The team had issues with opening some new formats to be used and for editting. Also some minor lagging. Otherwise it went on smooth without major problems for using the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CAD assistant is a free CAD viewer and migrator utility made with the Opencascade kernel. Some of the unique features of this utility are :

1. You can convert STEP files to .obj files and then use them inside Blender or any other animation tool. So, this makes it very easy to take the CAD files and render them out using a separate package.

2. It lets you view CAD files, manufacturing dimensions, sectional views, orthographic views, wireframe, and mesh views.

3. It supports a variety of formats (both mesh data and CAD data). Some of them include .step, .iges, .obj, .xt etc. For the entire list, you can check its documentation.

4. It lets you measure the linear dimensions of the part.

5. Allows importing multiple bodies.

6. Can extend its capabilities according to the company's requirements if necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be easier if we could change the pivot point for the 3D viewport. That would make the viewer much easier to use. Also, I wish "CAD rays" (another Opencascade's fantastic tool) was integrated inside of this tool itself so that one could also render out images from a single tool. Also, the scripting feature available inside CAD rays is something that CAD Assistant would benefit from if it was made available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
