HOOPS Exchange

HOOPS Exchange is a C++ SDK for adding 2D and 3D CAD import and export to applications through one API. It gives development teams access to CAD information including B-REP, PMI, model trees, views, persistent IDs, styles, construction geometry, and visualization data. The product lists more than 30 import formats and more than 10 export formats, including CATIA, NX, SOLIDWORKS, Revit, IFC, JT, STEP, STL, and FBX. It uses PRC for data access and says it preserves data integrity and geometry accuracy; the maker also says files can be compressed up to 100 times smaller than the original CAD files. Integrations include Parasolid, ACIS, Open Cascade, Polygonica, HOOPS Visualize, OpenGL, DirectX, Vulkan, Unity, and Unreal. APIs are available for C, C++, and C#. A free evaluation provides full access and technical support for 60 days. Evaluation keys expire and cannot be used in production. Releases are not binary compatible, so applications must be recompiled when upgrading.
