JNetCAD ...

... the Java-Application for viewing and converting CAD data.

JNetCAD is a simple Java GUI for importing and exporting several CAD formats. Each im- and export module exists as JAR library and can be used separately in other projects. JNetCAD uses jRealiy for the visualization. Hence it provides a software renderer and a JOGL (Java binding for OpenGL) renderer. For the import libraries, exemplary Java3D and jReality renderer are included. At least Java version 1.5 is required.

 

Im- and exporter concept

As mentioned above, the im- and export modules have been implemented as independend Java libraries, which can be used as loaders (for viewer, analyzer, ...) and conversion tools. Following diagram shows the relations:


 

Conversion example: JT -> JSON / CTM (WebGL)

Here is an embedded example of the conversion from JT to JSON (WebGL). The original JT model has been found here: Radial_Engine.jt.
A conversion to JSON (ASCII) results in 4,41 MB, a conversion to CTM (compressed binary) results in 0,33 MB. Both data formats contain exactly the same geometry!
For this example, a WebGL compliant browser is necessary: Chrome Firefox Safari Opera

Conversion example: JT -> 3D-PDF
JT to 3D-PDF export
Here is another conversion example of the above mentioned JT model Radial_Engine.jt. The resulting PDF file can be viewed by every Adobe Acrobat Reader (at least version 7).

This conversion allows you to send your 3D model to any other people, knowing, that they can view it.

The design and content of the PDF file is only an example and can be designed individually.
