3Data Expert® - professional data transfer for
3D Printing and simulation.  

3Data Expert® is a professional tool for repair, conversion and manipulation of 3D CAD data for Rapid Prototyping, 3D printing and simulation. DeskArtes 3Data Expert is used by major desing, manufacturing, automotive, consumer etc. companies around the world. 3Data Expert repair technology is also utilized by largest 3D Printer manufacturers, like Z Corporation.

With 3Data Expert 3D surface models can be triangulated into accurate triangle representation. Triangulated models can be repaired with efficient and easy to use tools into correct solid data by following the instructions given by automatic contex sensitive help. Colors and Textures can be added on the 3D models with most advaced tools on the market. Correct triangle models can be manipulated for optimal print with splitting, connecting, hollowing and support generation tools, for example.

3Data Expert allows you to import IGES, VDA-FS, STL, VRML, ZPR, OBJ, ProE, Catia, Unigrahpis or STEP models. Other import formats are available on request.

If you are most of the time receiving STL or VRML data with small errors, like gaps or non connected surface edges, we recommend you the Dimensions Expert for easy model repair and splitting. Dimensions Expert software contains a subset of the features of the 3Data Expert®. For a full set of features available in each Expert Series programs please have a look at the Expert Series feature list. 

	Visual inspection and measuring
	Visual model inspection with textures and colors Clipping and viewing with grid lines Take 3D measures to estimate the size Point value, angle, distance, radius Calculate areas and volumes 2D Dimensions and drawings
Verifying the model
Verify both surface and triangle models Analyze errors and number of components Gaps, inverted normals, overlapping surfaces, intersecting shells etc.
	Generate good STL
	Fix Models Automatically or manuallly Auto Repair for fully automatic fixing Help Text to aid the repair work Interactive Editing for triangle data Flip triangle normals Connect separate componenents Reshape triangles for simulation
Prepare for 3D Printing
Split models for separate or lower build Add pins to connect the ready parts acccurately Hollow models for faster build Add Drain Holes to remove non processed material Offset solid models form open surfaces
	Positioning part for RP
	Define platforms according to the size of your RP system Move parts to correct platform area Output STL or ZPR files with correct topology and colors for 3D Printing
