Everything runs inside Blender, on your own computer. No CAD licence, no converter, nothing else to install.

Native CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, Creo and Siemens NX parts and assemblies, plus STEP and IGES from any CAD system. Rhino and more to come.
Clean, accurate mesh
- Quads or triangles, from a light draft down to 0.001 mm. One Detail slider, or presets.
- Smooth shading from the true CAD surfaces. Real hard edges stay hard.
- Welded and watertight, one island per CAD surface, or split along the real edges only.
- UVs taken from the CAD surfaces.
- CAD edges tagged for the Bevel modifier, or rounded at import so they catch the light.
- Measure the mesh against the true surface and see exactly how far it strays.
Your assembly, your way
- Keep the CAD tree, make one object per body, or merge parts by colour for a lighter scene.
- CAD colours and CATIA materials become Blender materials, without duplicates.
- Units are detected, so models arrive at real size.
- Each file remembers the quality you last used.
Update without starting over
Re-import a changed file over your scene. Changed parts are re-meshed in place, and your materials, positions, modifiers and animation stay. New parts are added and deleted ones removed. Preview the update before you commit, and update the whole model or only the parts you select.
Built for big assemblies
Meshing runs on all your processor cores. Damaged geometry is repaired before meshing, and a short report shows anything that needed fixing.
Private by design
Your files never leave your computer. Works offline. No account, no upload, no tracking.
