Autoshaper

Autoshaper is a useful application for converting CAD files from one format to another, with high-quality Nurbs shapes.

Straightforward GUI

The utility comes with a meticulously organized GUI, as each panel serves a well-defined purpose.
For example, the Groups panel displays all the elements found in the loaded file. The Properties section shows details that you can alter to your liking, such as dimensions, colors, or measurement units.
However, if you are looking for a distraction-free environment, you can hide some or all these panels.

Supports many CAD formats

You can use Autoshaper with a wide range of file formats that integrate Nurbs shapes: STEP, IGES, BREP, 3DM or IFC files.
When it comes to exporting them to other formats, you can choose between STEP, IGES, BREP and 3DM solid modeling files.

Explore CAD objects

Besides conversion, another handy function of Autoshaper is exploring the CAD objects in your files.
You can change the perspective using one of the dedicated buttons, along with your mouse buttons and wheel.
You also get to experiment with the rendering mode, as the application supports wireframe, shaded with edges, or shaded.

Generate mass properties

Additionally, Autoshaper can help you calculate the mass properties for the selected element in your currently open file.
These parameters include centroid dimensions, moments of inertia, radii of gyration, principal moments, and X-Y-Z directions about centroid.
You can also split or merge shells, with only a single mouse click from you.

Conclusion

To sum it up, Autoshaper is a reliable software utility you can turn to when you want to convert Nurbs shapes files to solid modelling projects. Moreover, you can reconstruct nurbs surface from various triangle mesh files.
