Unlock your 3D data for real-time development
Pixyz, part of Unity's product portfolio, provides solutions to easily import and optimize large 3D CAD, point cloud and mesh models for creating real-time experiences in Unity. Unity customers across a range of industries use Pixyz to prepare data from widely used design tools and file formats for real-time development.
Automate and optimize your data pipeline
These Pixyz products ensure your 3D data is optimized for Unity regardless of the source. Going from import to real-time publishing has never been so easy.
Pixyz Plugin
The fastest and easiest way to bring your 3D data into Unity. It reads and converts almost any format, optimizes and puts it in Unity, and stages it to provide ready-to-use assets for real-time applications.
Pixyz Studio
Import and transform heavy and complex 3D CAD data into lightweight, optimized meshes for real-time 3D engines. Simplify and optimize CAD data quickly and efficiently with more than 120 powerful algorithms.
Pixyz Review
A powerful technical review solution for CAD and 3D models that allows users to instantly review and interact with complex assemblies in desktop and/or VR. Easily review all your 3D models, collaborate to facilitate decision-making and speed-up design workflows.
Pixyz Scenario Processor
Automate data preparation for your 3D, CAD and point cloud pipelines. Reduce the time, effort and cost of complex manual processing by reapplying the same optimization scenario on batches of files, automatically.
Pixyz Loader
Import pre-processed CAD, 3D and point cloud files into the Unity Editor or the runtime of your Unity application.

Product questions
Pixyz Plugin 2021.1 is compatible with Unity 2019.4 to 2021.1.
Pixyz supports more than 40 file formats for various industries, including CATIA, JT, STEP, IFC, USD and glTF. See full list of supported files by Pixyz here.
CAD files rely on exact parametric surfaces (called BRep, or NURBS), whereas real-time 3D engines like Unity need triangular representations of 3D objects (called meshes). Pixyz translates CAD data into mesh data.
For basic interactive workflows, use Pixyz Plugin to directly import CAD files.
For highly complex, heavy data, you can use Pixyz Studio (interactive process) or Pixyz Scenario Processor (automated process) to pre-process your CAD into a .PXZ file, and then load it into Unity with Pixyz Loader.
Pixyz offers dozens of methods to simplify your model, either by:
- Reducing the number of triangles through decimation or Remove Hidden Objects
- Reducing the complexity of your hierarchy and number of entities in your scenes (Sub-meshes with merge or combine)
- Creating a new optimized GameObject through Retopology (Proxy-mesh + bake) or Create Impostor / Billboard
