ImportFix CAD – Clean, Prepare, and Optimize Imported Geometry for Seamless CAD Integration
When working with legacy data, supplier models, or neutral file formats, imported geometry often arrives with inconsistencies, unnecessary blends, and features that make editing nearly impossible. Manual cleanup is time-consuming, error-prone, and can easily disrupt model integrity.
ImportFix CAD solves this problem by automating the cleanup of imported solids, intelligently removing unwanted blends, fillets, chamfers, and closed holes without damaging the original geometry. It enables designers to quickly generate clean guide and reference curves, preparing models for parametric feature creation and downstream design tasks.
Fully integrated with Siemens NX, Solid Edge, and Autodesk Inventor, ImportFix CAD transforms unusable imported solids into clean, editable, and fully reusable geometry for modern CAD workflows.
Why Choose ImportFix CAD?
ImportFix CAD is an intelligent CAD cleanup automation tool that streamlines the process of converting imported or third-party solid models into editable, parametric-ready geometry. The tool automatically identifies and removes unnecessary features such as radius blends, chamfers, fillets, and filled holes, while preserving key design surfaces and boundary integrity. This ensures that engineers can extract accurate reference curves, rebuild parametric features efficiently, and reuse supplier or legacy data without starting from scratch. By minimizing manual rework, ImportFix CAD reduces design cycle time, improves CAD data quality, and enhances productivity across your engineering team.

Guide Curve & Reference Creation
Generates precise curves from cleaned geometry, enabling reliable parametric modeling and feature rebuilding.
Batch Processing
Handles large datasets efficiently by processing multiple files or assemblies in a single operation.
Customizable Cleanup Filters
Gives users full control to retain or remove specific features based on project or design needs.
Seamless CAD Integration
Works directly within Siemens NX, Solid Edge, and Autodesk Inventor environments for a smooth, consistent workflow.
Geometry Preservation

ImportFix CAD Tool Working Process
How It Works
1. Import Geometry
Load your legacy, supplier, or neutral format solid geometry (e.g., STEP, IGES, Parasolid) into your preferred CAD platform.
2. Run ImportFix CAD
Initiate the tool directly from your CAD environment. It scans the imported model to identify blends, chamfers, fillets, and closed holes.
3. Clean the Geometry
ImportFix CAD automatically removes unwanted features and fills the affected surfaces smoothly, ensuring continuity and accuracy.
4. Generate Guide & Reference Curves
Once cleanup is complete, the tool creates optimized guide and reference curves to support fully parametric feature building.
5. Build Parametric Models
Use the cleaned and simplified solid as a base to create parametric designs quickly and reliably—free from geometry issues.
6. Batch Processing
Process multiple files or assemblies simultaneously, ideal for large-scale cleanup of legacy or supplier-provided models.
Why ImportFix CAD
ImportFix CAD eliminates one of the most tedious stages of CAD data preparation manual model cleanup.
It enables engineering teams to work faster and smarter by automating the removal of obstructive features that block parametric modeling and reuse. Whether dealing with legacy archives, supplier models, or merged geometry, ImportFix CAD ensures you start every design from a clean, accurate foundation. By unlocking the true potential of imported solids, it helps organizations reduce rework, speed up design cycles, and improve collaboration across engineering and manufacturing teams.
