From interactive to automatic CAD data prep
summary
PiXYZ demonstrates an end-to-end CAD pipeline: import thousands of CATIA files, reduce ~3,000 parts to about half through repair and consolidation, tessellate into 4 million triangles, fix orientations with a “smart orientation” camera script, assign Unity Automotive materials, and export optimized assets (FBX/glTF/USDZ or PiXYZ format). Automation uses the embedded Python API and PiXYZ Batch to run recipes at scale and PiXYZ Connect to generate on‑demand Unity apps; runtime import is available for Windows.
