SimLab Composer

What do you like best?

Fast conversion between an Inventor IAM file to a FBX file that keeps all information including sub-assemblies, materials, textures and tree information in the browsers, making it very easy to use and great for using a single model for multiple applications. The price is also not horrid like other converter programs and it is not subscription based which is huge.

What do you dislike?

Not really a dislike since this is more of a specific aspect of one program, not SimLab, but there isn't a way to convert the information of constraints. It took a bit of time getting used to the program as the tutorials are somewhat vague, but after doing a few test runs with it, it worked really well.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you're using a more manufacturing modeling tool but want to introduce the models into sandbox engines such as Unity or Unreal Engine, this tool will save a lot of headache and problems by converting your Solidworks or Inventor models converted and still usable in the new environment.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We're at the starting stages of Augmented Reality with our company. SimLab solved a huge roadblock in how to get Inventor files that we have to be used in Unity and still keep all the material, texture, and lighting information.
