CATIA (.CATPart) to Parasolid (.x_t) CNC Machining Converter
Machinists receiving CATIA CATPart files from automotive or aerospace clients frequently program CNC toolpaths in Mastercam or SolidWorks CAM. Mastercam runs on the Siemens Parasolid engine. Converting CATPart to Parasolid .x_t eliminates translation hiccups, producing clean solid bodies ready for 5-axis toolpathing.

Bridge the CGM to Parasolid Kernel Gap
CATIA uses Dassault’s CGM engine, while Mastercam uses Siemens Parasolid. High-end converters calculate exact boundary intersection curves between differing spline formulations, preventing micro-gaps.
Heal Disconnected Surface Quilts into Solid Bodies
Set the healing algorithm to automatically knit freeform surfacing patches into a single watertight solid body with valid volume and center-of-mass attributes.
Scrub Proprietary Parametric Sketches for IP Safety
The resulting .x_t file provides 100% perfect CNC surface coordinates while protecting your internal CATIA sketch constraints and design formulas.

CATIA CATPart to Parasolid X_T Converter FAQs
If your target software (Mastercam, Siemens NX, SolidWorks) runs on the Parasolid kernel, converting directly to .x_t provides native kernel data representation, eliminating intermediate STEP translation steps.
