PLM Components SDKs¶
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| JT Open Toolkit (JTTK) | Take advantage of the widely adopted JT file format for 3D model data collaboration and visualization in your applications. The JT Open Toolkit is a C++ API that enables your applications to read and write ISO-compliant JT files. The JT Open Toolkit provides support for 64-bit application development on Microsoft Windows, Linux and MacOS. Purchasers of the JT Open Toolkit are automatically accepted into the JT Open Program as fee-based members. The toolkit includes full documentation for the Toolkit API and PLM XML SDK. |
| JT2Go | View and interact with 3D data on your choice of desktop/mobile platform using JT2Go—our free viewer for JT and Parasolid XT data. JT COMPONENTS JT2Go View and interact with 3D data on your choice of desktop and mobile platforms using JT2Go - Siemens Digital Industries Software free viewer for JT and Parasolid XT data. Collaborate with the ISO-standard JT data format at no cost. Choose your preferred viewer—our comprehensive desktop application, or mobile solutions on iOS and Android. |
| PLM XML | Improve collaboration efficiency throughout the product lifecycle by supporting workflows requiring application integration, interoperability and data sharing. A lightweight, flexible mechanism for transporting high-content product data, PLM XML represents a variety of product data both explicitly and via references. PLM XML schemas are the basis of a rich interoperability pipeline connecting Siemens Digital Industries Software products and third-party adopter applications. PLM XML is complementary to existing and emerging XML-based standards. |
| Parasolid | Deliver leading applications in product design, simulation and manufacturing with Parasolid. With 900+ functions, Parasolid supports a range of modeling techniques, including solid modeling, direct editing and free-form surface/sheet modeling. Parasolid also delivers convergent modeling technology, which extends its robust B-rep modeling functions to models based on facet representations. |
| D-Cubed | Accelerate your 3D software development with D-Cubed components: productivity-enhancing solutions for your computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided engineering (CAE) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) applications. D-Cubed components are used across industries to accelerate the design and manufacture of products from consumer goods to aircraft engines and commercial buildings. |
| Kineo | Explore our portfolio of Kineo software components for automatic motion planning, collision detection and flexible cable simulation.

| Geolus Shape Search | Find similar parts no matter how they are named and enable informed decisions in virtually every aspect of PLM, from design to process planning to procurement. The part you are about to design might already exist. Consolidation of suppliers of similar parts is an opportunity to negotiate a better price. This data exists within the enterprise but is scattered—hidden in plain sight—by the inconsistent naming that confounds traditional search. |
| 3D Visualization SDK | Implement optimal graphical representations of your 3D models with your choice of 3D visualization SDK (Software Developer Kit) from Siemens. Create stunning photorealistic renderings that leave little to the imagination, or focus on engineering-oriented output with model sections and annotations.
