What TransMagic does
TransMagic, Inc. is a privately held software company founded in 2001 and headquartered in Westminster, Colorado, that develops CAD interoperability software for organizations operating in multi-CAD environments. Its software reads and writes more than 200 format versions spanning native CAD packages (CATIA, NX, Creo, SOLIDWORKS, Solid Edge, Inventor, AutoCAD), geometric modeling kernels (Parasolid, ACIS, SMLib), neutral exchange formats (STEP, IGES, VDA-FS), and tessellated outputs (STL, OBJ, 3D PDF, WebGL). The product portfolio is structured in tiers — SUPERVIEW (viewer), PRO (translator), and EXPERT (full data exchange) — supplemented by add-ons including MagicHeal for automatic geometry repair, MagicCheck for revision comparison and validation, MagicBatch for unattended translation, PowerPacks embedded inside SOLIDWORKS and Inventor, MagicSTK for Ansys/AGI STK simulation preparation, and the COMMAND enterprise automation platform.
The technology relies on proprietary kernels and configurable translation settings (over 200 tunable parameters) rather than native CAD licensing, enabling customers to view, translate, repair, and validate CAD data across vendor ecosystems without purchasing multiple full CAD seats. Boeing D6-51991 compliance, AS9100 alignment, and PMI/UDA handling indicate an emphasis on aerospace/defense and regulated manufacturing customers such as Superlift/Black Diamond, LSI Inc. (aerospace C-130 engine repair), Grede Foundries, and KUKA, with additional presence in automotive, tool and die, heavy equipment, medical, and automation segments.
TransMagic generates revenue through subscription licenses and perpetual licenses with optional maintenance, sold primarily via direct inside-sales (phone and email) supplemented by a reseller referral network, the Ariba Discovery B2B marketplace, and a 7-day free trial entry point that funnels prospects to sales. The company appears to be founder-led (Todd Reade, CEO & Founder) and independently owned, with no disclosed venture or private equity funding. Continuous major-version releases (R14, R15) and steady addition of new product modules indicate ongoing organic reinvestment in R&D.

TransMagic product offering
Product offeringCore offering
TransMagic develops and sells CAD interoperability software that enables engineering organizations to view, translate, repair, compare, and batch-process 3D CAD models across more than 200 format versions. The offering spans native CAD files (CATIA, NX, Creo, SOLIDWORKS, Solid Edge, Inventor, AutoCAD), geometric modeling kernels (Parasolid, ACIS, SMLib), neutral formats (STEP, IGES, VDA-FS), and tessellated formats (STL, OBJ, 3D PDF, WebGL), sold as tiered subscriptions (SUPERVIEW, PRO, EXPERT, COMPLETE) supplemented by add-on modules for repair, comparison, batch automation, and integrations with SOLIDWORKS and Inventor.
Product overview
TransMagic offers a tiered CAD interoperability software portfolio with three core products: SUPERVIEW (basic 3D CAD viewer with format reading and polygonal output), PRO (translator adding neutral/kernel format writing), and EXPERT (full data exchange with native CAD format writing). The core products are supplemented by add-on modules: MagicHeal (automatic CAD repair), MagicCheck (model comparison/validation), MagicBatch (batch translation), MagicSTK (Ansys/AGI STK integration), PowerPacks for SOLIDWORKS and Inventor. Enterprise automation is available through COMMAND for automatic translation workflows. The COMPLETE bundle packages translate, repair, and compare capabilities together.

TransMagic competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Theorem Solutions: Theorem Solutions is a direct competitor in CAD data exchange and translation, offering TheoremX (formerly CADverter) for converting between CATIA, NX, Creo, SOLIDWORKS and other major formats. Like TransMagic, it targets multi-CAD environments in automotive and aerospace with both translator products and automation tooling.
- CoreTechnologie: CoreTechnologie (CT CoreTechnologie) provides the 3D_Evolution CAD converter and repair suite, directly competing with TransMagic's translation and MagicHeal capabilities. Both companies serve multi-CAD enterprise users with format coverage across all major native and neutral formats.
- Elysium (now Cadence Elysium): Elysium specializes in CAD/CAM data translation, product structure conversion (CAD-to-PLM), and 3D interoperability with strong positions in automotive and aerospace. Its product lines (CADdoctor for repair, DirectTranslator for format conversion) overlap directly with TransMagic's SUPERVIEW/PRO/EXPERT and MagicHeal offerings.
- Datakit: Datakit provides CAD data exchange and conversion libraries/toolkits used by major PLM, CAD, and simulation vendors. Like TransMagic it targets engineering teams needing to read and write the full range of native, kernel, and neutral CAD formats, with similar focus on quality and validation.
- Transcendata: Transcendata offers CAD/CAM data translation services and software, with direct overlap to TransMagic's format translation and migration capabilities. Both target engineering teams needing to move data between CATIA, NX, Creo, and other systems.
- Okino Software: Okino Software develops PolyTrans and NuGraf for CAD/CAM/3D data translation and visualization. It competes directly with TransMagic in the CAD viewing and translation category, particularly for design, engineering, and 3D graphics workflows.
- Actify: Actify provides SpinFire CAD viewing and collaboration tools for manufacturers and suppliers. While more focused on viewing/sharing than deep translation, it overlaps with TransMagic's SUPERVIEW tier in multi-CAD environments where users need to consume CAD data without owning full CAD seats.
- Kubotek Kosmos: Kubotek Kosmos (formerly Kubotek USA, parent of KeyCreator) develops CAD/CAM interoperability and 3D geometry kernel technology. Its products compete in the same CAD translation and repair space as TransMagic, particularly for engineering teams managing cross-format CAD data.
Broad incumbents
- Dassault Systèmes (3DEXPERIENCE / CATIA): Dassault Systèmes is the dominant incumbent in PLM and CAD via CATIA and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Its 3DEXPERIENCE platform increasingly bundles multi-CAD translation capabilities, posing both a competitor (large enterprises standardizing on Dassault) and a customer/data dependency for TransMagic's native CATIA support.
- Ansys (CAD connectivity / SpaceClaim): Ansys is the dominant simulation incumbent whose SpaceClaim and Discovery products provide direct CAD geometry editing, repair, and format exchange. Ansys is also a TransMagic integration partner via the MagicSTK add-on for Ansys STK, illustrating both the partnership and competitive overlap in CAD-to-simulation prep workflows.
