Is there any solution to problem with perfect 'computer looking' edges? Something that will apply smoothing during rendering process like plugins F-Edge or EdgeSmoother.
The problem was mentioned 4 years ago in this post:

If possible one can bevel the geometry manually, but sometimes the models are just too complex for that. And if you're working with CAD-models from an external source, then it is likely you are totally out of luck in this regard.
Here's an example from a project I'm involved in. I had to abandon Maxwell due to the fact that I wasn't able to use the plugin F-edge. I think the model looks relatively dull and flat in Maxwell without f-edge - plus it loses some of it's definition.
