What is a .JT file?
The .JT file extension stands for a JT Open CAD File. This is a type of file used to store 3D models in a way that makes them easy to handle and share. Siemens PLM Software developed this format to be open to everyone, work really well (high-performance), be small in size (compact), and keep data safe and unchanged (persistent storage) for all kinds of product information. People use it mainly to look at products in 3D, work together with others, and share CAD (Computer-Aided Design) data.
You can open .JT files on different computer systems using various programs. Some of these programs include: - PTC Onshape+ (works on all platforms) - Siemens PLM NX - Siemens PLM Solid Edge - Dassault Systemes CATIA - Parametric Technology Creo - Autodesk Inventor 2022 - Okino Computer Graphics PolyTrans .JT files are pretty versatile. They can hold different types of data like rough 3D shapes, very precise surface details (using something called NURBS), information on how to make and inspect the product (PMI), and other important data about the product. These files can be created by the original CAD software used to design a product and can be used by systems that manage product data (PDM systems).
An important thing to note is that the JT format is very popular in the car and airplane making industries. However, it's designed to be useful for any type of manufacturing work. This means if you're working on designing, making, or even just planning how to make something, a .JT file could be really helpful for sharing and looking at your product in 3D.
