Open Data Exchange(ODX)

OPEN DATA EXCHANGE TOOLKITS

CCE has developed proprietary technology to read and write native CAD data. We brand these libraries as Open Data eXchange (ODX). File formats currently supported include CATIA V4, CATIA V5, CATIA V6, NX, SOLIDWORKS, Inventor, Creo, JT, Solid Edge, Parasolid, ACIS, IGES, STEP, 3D PDF, VDA, and STL.
These libraries, built completely from the ground up and not based on any native CAD APIs, do not require CAD software or licenses. Applications developed using our ODX libraries are totally independent of CAD. These libraries are very robust and are currently being used by a number of leading CAx software ISVs. The libraries, written in C++, are easy to implement and follow software releases via continuous updates.
ODX gives the user the ability to read and write native CAD files, without the cost of ownership associated with the CAD system.
We offer CAD readers via a unified interface, Unified Data eXchange (UDX) that allows software vendors achieve total CAD interoperability using a single API in the shortest possible time, while not compromising on the uniqueness or native functionality of each format. CAD Readers developed using UDX also have significantly reduced ongoing maintenance.
CCE is unique in its ability, not just to read, but also to be able to write native CAD data. We do it using our Write ODX (WODX) libraries.
