3D CAD Visualization
intuitive, efficient, and practical

3D Models and Collaboration

The value in designing with expensive CAD systems is fully realized when 3D visualization is utilized in downstream functions such as work preparation, assembly, quality control, purchase and sales.

Interactive 3D visualization of parts, assemblies, machines, and even production lines provides immediate awareness of the structure, function, and workflow. For those involved, the 3D model is an ideal medium for collaboration and feedback because it avoids queries and misunderstandings, ensures clarity, and speeds up information flow.

3D-Tool is an intuitive and universal 3D visualization application tailored to the practical requirement of Industry 4.0. Even without much CAD/CAM experience any stakeholder is enabled to directly open CAD files, evaluate the design, and to publish the models with additional annotations and dimensions.

3D models and CAD viewers improve development, assembly, work preparation and quality assurance

The CAD viewer 3D tool does not require lengthy training

Intuitive Efficiency

3D-Tool does not require time-consuming training. Important tools are quickly accessible and work intuitively according to the "point and click" principle.

Even on more complex tasks, such as measuring surface areas and contours, one click is often enough.

Assemblies can be exploded manually by moving individual parts or you can explode complete assemblies automatically, simply by pressing a button.

Also, when coloring the model, you can individually color each part, or you assign different colors to all parts with one click.

Practical Details

Many practical software enhancements arise from the wishes and suggestions of our customers. A selection of recent improvements:

BOMs, part information and dimensions can be copied to the clipboard or output directly as PDF, RTF and HTML reports.
The visibility of each individual dimension can be specifically controlled. Dimensions can be supplemented with your own notes.
In addition to rotating with the mouse, the orientation of the 3D display can be adjusted by entering the viewing angle and freely using the arrow keys.
Parts can be filtered and selected by name, for showing and hiding or for structuring in assemblies.
