StockGraphy Systematizes and Launches "Application-Specific 3DCG Conversion Service" to Redesign Industrial CAD Data into Real-time 3DCG

StockGraphy Inc. (Taito-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Hideyuki Sakaguchi) has systematized and relaunched its 3D data conversion and optimization services, previously offered for converting industrial 3D CAD data (such as STEP) into 3D data for real-time applications, as the "Application-Specific 3DCG Conversion Service."

This service redesigns design data for industrial machinery, construction machinery, and infrastructure facilities into 3DCG data that can be utilized for 3D visualization and simulation purposes in applications, AR, Web, digital twins, and manufacturing fields.

■ Background

The utilization of 3D data is rapidly expanding in the manufacturing and construction industries. However, the following challenges exist on-site:

- 3D CAD data is accurate but too heavy for real-time applications.
- Automatic polygonization can lead to data corruption, losing design intent and safety.
- Movable parts and interference areas cannot be handled correctly.
- Design and optimization of 3D data specifications suitable for each application are not sufficiently performed.

To address these challenges, StockGraphy provides 3DCG data design and conversion services tailored to specific applications.

■ Service Features

1. Application-Specific 3D Design (Application-Specific Derived Models)

Designing optimal 3DCG data based on requirements such as application and specifications:

- 3D for safety judgment (collision/hazard areas)
- 3D for operation/training
- 3D for display/AR
- 3D for simulation

2. Preservation of Assembly and Movable Structures

- Maintenance of part hierarchy and relationships
- Reconstruction of rotation axes and movable ranges
- Separate design by mechanism unit

3. "Accident-Free" Lightweight Design

More than just polygon reduction:

- Preservation of shapes that should not be omitted
- Maintaining necessary accuracy for sensor judgment
- Optimization that does not break movable interference

4. 3D Design Supporting Application-Specific Functions

- Visualization design of movable ranges and work areas
- Expression of areas and relationships according to application
- Shape design suitable for simulation and judgment applications
- Structure optimization suitable for real-time processing

5. Standardization Support for 3D CAD to Real-time Conversion

- Formulation of application-specific 3D specifications
- Establishment of in-house standard workflows
- Data design based on continuous operation

■ Supported File Formats and Platforms

- Input format: STEP (ISO 10303)

*Please consult separately for other 3D CAD formats.

- Output formats: glTF / USDZ / FBX / OBJ

- Real-time 3D environments such as Unreal Engine / Unity / WebGL

- AR / Digital Twin / 3D visualization and simulation applications in the manufacturing field

*We support optimization according to application (e.g., safety, display, simulation).

■ Intended Uses

- Safety apps for heavy machinery and industrial machinery
- Training for workers
- Factory digital twins
- Interference verification at construction sites
- Manufacturing metaverse
- Equipment explanation via AR
- Maintenance and inspection support
