What is a(n) JT file?

The JT file is an open CAD file format developed by Siemens and used in various 3D based applications. It is commonly used in industrial processes to store 3D data of products, parts and assemblies and can represent complex designs with good accuracy, high performance, greater level of detail and strong product visualization. The JT format also supports other common CAD related operations such as simulation, analysis, CAM (Computer Assisted Manufacturing), inspection and other reverse engineering operations.

The JT format is widely accepted as a definitive, vendor-neutral 3D model for digital product information interchange between supplier and customer through the product life cycle. It has gained momentum due to its openness, which eliminates manual translation operations across multiple different data formats.
