[New Product] Convert CAD Data to 3D in Minutes

CADChum Workflow. Qualice Inc. (Headquarters: Toshima-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kosuke Chino), a provider of software development support, announces the release of "CADChum," a software for converting CAD data (IGES / STEP) into 3D data. A solution connecting the manufacturing and CG/simulation fields has been a long-standing challenge. We provide a solution that reduces the burden of such trial and error, enabling high-speed conversion in a secure local environment without the need for cloud uploads. What is CADChum? CADChum is a software that can perform CAD data conversion, which traditionally required many man-hours, in just a few minutes. It integrates with Blender, Maya, Unity, Unreal Engine, and more, facilitating the visualization and utilization of design data. Conventionally, CAD data was often not suitable for real-time applications or 3D content creation as-is, and its conversion and optimization were time-consuming. CADChum solves this problem and creates an environment where design data can be immediately used for real-time 3D and visualization purposes. The entire workflow from CAD data to 3D data generation and visualization. Development Background In recent years, the applications for CAD data have expanded significantly in the manufacturing and entertainment industries. In particular, the following needs are growing: Real-time visualization using game engines. 3D utilization in product reviews and presentations. Development for digital twins and simulations. However, differences in format and structure between CAD and 3D data have made conversion and optimization a major challenge. CADChum was developed under the concept of "turning CAD data into immediately usable 3D" to solve these issues. Key Features: Lightweighting of large CAD data for real-time display optimization. One-click CAD to 3D data conversion. High-quality tessellation for smooth mesh generation. Flexible adjustment with precision control (Angle / Deviation). Seamless integration with 3D creation tools and game engines like Blender and Maya. Supported Tools: Compatible with major 3D creation tools and game engines including Blender, Maya, Unity, Unreal Engine. Plugins available for Blender, Maya, Unity, and Unreal Engine. Product Composition: CADChum Core (conversion engine), CADChum Console (batch conversion tool), and various plugins (Blender Add-on, Maya Plugin, Unity Plugin, Unreal Engine Plugin). Use Cases: Product visualization for manufacturing. XR / VR content creation for manufacturing. Real-time visualization in architecture. Digital twins using game engines. 3D creation for exhibitions and presentations. Lightweighting and optimization of CAD data. Release Date: May 18, 2026 (Monday).
