SOLIDWORKS Integrations

CrossCad/Ware provides a platform that enables software developers to incorporate Datakit technology directly into their applications. The Datakit libraries feature an extensive Application Programming Interface (API) that promotes smooth interoperability across different CAD systems. For software companies already leveraging Datakit solutions for the exchange of CAD data, these libraries offer a practical method for integrating with their current software frameworks. They grant crucial access to the information embedded in native data files, which encompasses both 3D and 2D geometrical and topological data, alongside vital elements such as dimensions, tolerances, features, and annotations. This integration process ensures that every data entity is transferred with precision, allowing for careful handling of data attributes and enhancing oversight of the information being shared. This powerful solution meets the needs of Datakit’s clients, particularly software developers, who seek to go beyond mere file-to-file transfers and obtain a more sophisticated means of managing data characteristics, thereby significantly enriching their software capabilities. Furthermore, this enables developers to create applications that are not only more efficient but also provide added value to their end users.

E-commerce consumers are empowered to make well-informed choices regarding their purchases since they can easily assess size, fit, and style much like they would in a traditional brick-and-mortar store. This capability significantly decreases the likelihood of returns due to errors in size, fit, or style, enabling online shoppers to enjoy a more satisfactory buying experience with lower return rates. Introducing a distinctive "try-before-you-buy" option can further minimize product returns. By utilizing 3D visualization, shoppers can rotate and examine items from multiple angles. The integration of augmented reality (AR) allows consumers to see products in their own environment, helping them evaluate size, style, and color more effectively. As a result, online retailers that incorporate AR features tend to attract more customers. When shoppers can engage with AR-empowered 3D products, they are more inclined to complete purchases. This enhanced ability to visualize products accurately leads to increased confidence in buying decisions, resulting in a higher average order value for stores. Ultimately, AR technology plays a crucial role in lowering return rates by addressing potential mismatches in size, style, or color before the purchase is made, boosting overall customer satisfaction in the online shopping experience.
