Data Conversion

TechniGraphics helps its customers unlock the value contained in legacy engineering data and enables the accurate conversion of CAD information between different CAD platforms. Utilizing ISO certified processes, TechniGraphics migrates design information so that it is accessible to current 3D CAD systems and
enterprise data management systems in a ready-to-use format.

Dealing with legacy data is a difficult task for many organizations. Engineers coming out of schools today are
well versed in the latest CAD technologies, but they don’t always understand 2D drawings on Mylar or data
that was created with CAD systems prior to the spread of 3D parametric technology. While it would be ideal
to push a button and update everything at once to the latest standard, the reality isn’t always that easy.  
Every type of data has its intricacies. TechniGraphics specializes in understanding these intricacies and
applying the most appropriate tools and automation to the process.

Drawing from experience with many types of data formats, TechniGraphics is able to work with its
customers to define their criteria for success and produce the best results possible. Offloading this activity
to TechniGraphics ensures that the results will be both high quality and consistent.  Some companies prefer
to take an “as needed” approach to data conversion on their own or employ interns to do the work. While
this can sometimes be effective, it increases the odds of poor quality and disruption of their current
engineering activities.  These are the hidden costs of schedule delays that aren’t always foreseen or
accounted for.
