I am a CAD developer that supports importing 3D mechanical and architectural data from neutral formats such as DWG, STEP, IGES, SAT/SAB and Parasolids and native formats that include CATIA, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, and Inventor.

Our CAD apps are typically based on C++ for Mac and Windows. What are our development paths/options for supporting a new export format for our customers to USDZ?

Thanks!

You can use the USDZ Tools from here: https://developer.apple.com/augmented-reality/tools/

"Download essential Python-based tools for generating, validating, and inspecting USDZ files. Also includes a converter that creates USDZ from other 3D file formats along with Pixar’s USD library and sample scripts."
