Integration Windchill and Vuforia Studio

[Velkumar]

Hello all,

Is there any possible way to integrate Windchill and Vuforia studio. My use case here is, I need to list out all the available 3D model available in Windchill into Vuforia Studio screen, based on user selection I need to show 3D model in 3D Model widget.

Regards,

VR

Hello,

Today, it is not possible.

But I have heard that R&D is working on SSO in Vuforia Experience Service.

So, it means, it will be possible to connect Vuforia Experience Service to ThingWorx embedded in PTC Navigate.

PTC Navigate is connected to Windchill with the same logon.

A behavior is also developing to be able in a such environment to have data from Windchill exposed in PTC Navigate.

At the end, it will be possible to see some data from Windchill in an Experience.

Both behavior SSO and have access data from Windchill are depending each other but I am not sure if they will be released at the same time.

Best regards,

Samuel

Hi @sdidier 

Thanks for your reply. Then is there a way to load 3D model from Thingworx repository to Experience dynamically ?

Hello ebeman,

Yes, it is possible to :

     1. Download CAD file from Windchill Workgroup Manager.

         More details here :

Limitation since Windchill 9.1 M060 from Windchill directly:

       2. Import it in Vuforia Studio if it a support file format.

            More details here :

Another solution is :

1. In Windchill, if GDD is enabled, export pvz file generated by Creo View Adapters. More details about GDD: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS112832
2. Import it in Vuforia Studio

Best regards,
