Turn your Plaxis3D CAD into spatial solutions, in minutes, with JigSpace

Discover how Jigs integrate Plaxis3D CAD files into powerful spatial solutions for sales, training, and communication.

How JigSpace works

Plaxis3D is advanced CAD software used by engineers for product design, simulation, and manufacturing. JigSpace easily converts Plaxis3D CAD files into interactive 3D presentations and immersive augmented reality experiences. We call them 'Jigs'. Jigs make the hard to explain, hard to forget. From launching a new product at a trade show or training your team on a new assembly process.

Frequently asked questions about using Plaxis3D files in 3D presentations and augmented reality

What data is imported into JigSpace from my Plaxis3D assemblies?

When you integrate your Plaxis3D files with JigSpace we import and convert the parametric data to meshes which are appropriate for real-time rendering, as well as import mesh size and scale properties, part names, RGB colors, mesh origin or pivot points and the assembly hierarchy. Learn more about data imported from 3D models here.

What file formats are supported that can be exported from Plaxis3D?

JigSpace supports importing the standard STEP neutral format for parametric CAD from Plaxis3D.

How safe is my Plaxis3D CAD data when I import it to JigSpace?

JigSpace prioritizes data security with enterprise-grade measures, SOC 2 compliance, and features like role-based access controls and secure sharing, ensuring intellectual property contained in your Plaxis3D files are protected. Learn more about JigSpace security features.

Can I save my Plaxis3D files in the JigSpace library for my team to use?

Yes! You can save your converted CAD files from Plaxis3D to your own team object library in JigSpace to re-use across multiple projects, save time, and ensure your team uses the right assets every time.
