Best formats to export 3D CAD models: JT and glTF/GLB

Best file format

The best way to export the 3D CAD model for importing in Dyvixion work instruction software is to export it as a JT file - version 10.6 - (first choice) or glTF/GLB file.

Supported JT versions are 8.0 up to 10.6.

Why JT is the primary choice

JT is fast to export and very small in file size. We talking about 1-10% of the original CAD file. However, GLB is a good one too. But, if your CAD software can export both formats, choose JT. Learn more about JT

How to do

Several CAD software tools can export to JT (Jupiter Tessellation) file format. Or otherwise the GLB (GL Transmission Format Binary) file format. However, since CAD tools often prioritize precise engineering data over 3D file formats, some exports might come with issues like incorrect scaling, textures not rendering properly, or geometry problems.

Here are the plug-ins that are known for smoother GLB exports:

• Inventor - JT (or GLB, but with bugs or use this exporter.)
• Fusion 360 - use this exporter.
• Solid Edge - JT (or GLB via this exporter.)
• NX - JT or GLB (see how it works)
• SolidWorks - GLB
  • 2023 and older versions via XR exporter for SolidWorks‍
  • or GLB via this exporter.
  • or JT via this exporter.

• Creo - JT
• Onshape - JT or GLB
• MicroStation - JT
