Spotlight: Enhanced 3D Import Pipeline


We’ve supercharged the 3D import process to save time and broaden compatibility:


  • Faster Imports: Up to 3 to 10 times quicker


  • New Formats: Added support for CREO and CGR files.


  • Updated Versions: Now compatible with Inventor 2023-2025, Creo 11, NX 2406, SolidWorks 2024-2025, CATIA V5R33, and more.


  • Smarter Options: Configure the Up axis to avoid manual rotations.




Spotlight: Lightning-Fast FBX Importer


Introducing the market’s fastest FBX importer, built from scratch by our team. For users exporting 3D data from PLM systems to FBX (ex. Woth PiXYZ Batch) this sets a new standard. A nuclear facility model with 100,000 objects and 30 million polygons now loads in just 20 seconds, compared to 10+ minutes in other software.

New Feature: AutoCAD Drawing Support


We’ve added support for AutoCAD drawings (.dwg), a top community request. Import DWG files and visualize factory layouts as colored, scaled lines in your scenes. These drawings act as blueprints to position 3D models of machines, factory elements, and more, seamlessly integrating them into your workflows.




New Feature: Part Metadata Access


XR Twin 25.1 now lets you read and display part metadata from CAD models. This powerful addition enhances traceability, streamlines project management, and provides deeper insights into your designs—directly within your simulation environment.




Community-Driven Enhancements


Beyond the pipeline, we’ve fine-tuned XR Twin based on your feedback:


  • New Application Bar: Switch to windowed mode, minimize, or move XR Twin across screens with ease.


  • Refined Tools: The color picker now captures unlit colors (unaffected by shadows or lighting), and the measure tool UI is more intuitive with a visual target helper.


  • Embedded Physics: The XDE physics engine is now fully integrated—no more separate processes or firewall hassles.


  • Improved Navigation: Use the TAB key to switch between input fields in the property panel effortlessly.


  • Hand Tracking Upgrade: See controller ghost models when using hand tracking, so you’re never left searching blindly.



Your Voice Matters


XR Twin 25.1 reflects our commitment to you. Your input drives our progress. Keep sharing your ideas—they shape XR Twin’s future.
