Here are a few examples of how customers are using Pixyz products. Explore the content hub for more customer stories, webinars and articles.
Faster data ingest for Autoliv
By leveraging Pixyz, Autoliv’s creative pipeline was transformed. The time for CAD data transfer and optimization was reduced from four days per individual product down to just six hours.
Optimizing 3D data for an interactive marketing experience
When creating their product configurator, Arksen and their design partner canVERSE used Pixyz Studio to convert CAD data to tessellated triangle meshes, build UVs for texturing, and optimize the geometry.
Helping Volkswagen Group of America envision the future
A key component of Volkswagen’s visualization pipeline is bringing CAD data into Unity using Pixyz. This enables the team to create interactive experiences across different platforms to ideate, prototype and communicate.
Product questions
You can access the full technical documentation for each Pixyz application here.
Pixyz supports more than 45 file formats for various industries, including CATIA, JT, STEP, IFC, PVZ, NWD, USD and glTF. See the 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 preprocess your CAD model into a format that can be easily imported into Unity, including prefabs, FBX, and glTF.
Pixyz offers many methods to simplify your model, including:
- Reducing the number of triangles through decimation or Remove Hidden Objects
- Reducing the complexity of the 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
