The Visualization Pipeline is an Enterprise level fully automated solution which prepares XR data. It can be run in batch mode, processing data triggered by PLM processes, you can sit inside of CAD and do save as, or drag and drop from the file system. Whichever way you load data, the pipeline automatically tessellates the data and prepares it for XR. As well as processing (part files) geometry it retains product structure and metadata, including animation data, to further enrich the value of XR content.
It includes fully automated processes to optimise the data for re-use; reducing polygons where necessary, shrink wrapping the data to remove non visible surfaces, eliminating unwanted data, or simplifying product structure to reduce data size. This ensures it provides high quality, high performance 3D content for XR. All processes are fully configurable and automated, there is no manual intervention required. The Visualization Pipeline can be installed on the Cloud or on premise and now supports Microsoft Azure Remote Rendering (ARR) for HoloLens 2 Mixed Reality devices enabling high-quality visualization of large datasets.
New eXtended Reality solutions and devices for delivering XR Experiences are evolving at a breathtaking pace. However, without content they deliver no value. The Visualization Pipeline addresses the requirement to create XR content.
Built using Theorem’s 25+ years experience in re-purposing CAD data for visualization, translation and publishing, the Visualization Pipeline is an enterprise ready solution for industrial companies and consumers of 3D data, to automate the process of creating XR content for visualization. As well as providing content for Theorem’s own XR Experiences it provides a solution for use by in-house development teams using Unity and Unreal.
The Visualization Pipeline enables you to take source 3D data whether it’s from MCAD, AEC CAD, Scanned data, ISO/ANSI standard data like STEP and JT, lightweight visualization formats such as 3D XML and Creo View, and neutral formats such as FBX and glTF, and create 3D content in a fully automated process for use in XR experiences.

Being fully automated, it saves time and reduces cost by eliminating manual activity, whilst maximising visualization performance and quality.
Being an enterprise solution means it can be fully integrated into your PLM processes with minimal effort and cost. PLM integration means you have a fully managed solution for XR content creation, eliminating duplication of data and ensuring data conformance to IT policies.
It supports single sign-on and user authentication to ensure workflows and data access are managed, ensuring control of data. Being process centric ensures consistent high quality data is created conforming to company standards.
Being able to schedule jobs means valuable computing resources are used to optimum effect, controlling costs.
A full set of administration tools delivers management reports on usage, license allocation, data consumption and performance metrics. Enabling IT costs to be controlled and computing resources to be managed.

The Visualization Experience enables a user to visualize 3D CAD data at full scale and in context and interrogate the data in Augmented, Mixed and Virtual Reality devices.
With the Design Review Experience a group of designers can collaboratively review a design milestone in full scale and in context, make comments and annotate the design for later review.
The Factory Layout Experience enables an individual or group of engineers to layout a work cell, production line or full factory using Mixed and or Virtual Reality
Guides provides a solution to create Training or Work instructions to teach a front line worker on a build process, or guide an experienced worker during a complex task. It does this using Mixed or Virtual Reality headsets and Desktop devices.
The Visual Digital Twin delivers a rich 3D digital model allowing it to be overlaid on top of a physical object and tracked. For use in inspection, training, packaging and in support of a full Digital twin.
The Visualization Pipeline is a fully automated solution that prepares your CAD data for use in XR. It can be run in batch mode, processing data triggered by PLM processes, sat inside of CAD using the save as command, or drag and drop from the file system.
