Cost-effective CAD Viewer without maintenance costs

3D-Tool prices are one-time payments with no recurring maintenance costs.

We regularly publish updates for the 3D-Tool CAD Viewer and Converter. They are always available for download on our website. All service updates within the major version number you purchased are free. When we release a new major version, service updates are provided only for that new major version. Moderate update costs then apply for updating an older license. However, you are not required to purchase updates.

Floating licenses

Network licenses, known as "floating licenses", are not supported by 3D-Tool. If you need 3D-Tool on multiple computers, we will gladly prepare a suitable quote. Volume licensing is available from 50 licenses. On request, we also offer server licenses that allow activation of 3D-Tool on a server (application server, terminal server) and parallel access by multiple users (from 4 users).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Are 3D-Tool license prices annual costs? And what does it cost to keep the CAD interfaces up to date?

No. 3D-Tool licenses are purchased once and remain valid permanently. They are not rental or subscription licenses (SaaS), and there are no contractually required maintenance costs. For the purchased major version, you receive regular free service updates. Where available, these also include updates to the CAD interfaces. The free update service runs until the next major version is released. Switching to a new major version is voluntary. Only moderate update costs apply. Your existing license remains permanently valid regardless.

Can I buy only the 3D converter? I do not need a viewer.

The 3D-NativeCAD Converter is part of 3D-Tool Premium and cannot be purchased separately. The converter's 3D interfaces add powerful import and conversion functions to 3D-Tool. The included 3D-Tool Viewer is more than just a viewing program: it is a practical information tool for presentations, reports, documentation, inquiries and quotes.

3D-Tool Premium costs 800 euros. Is that not a lot?

Compared with a CAD system, which often costs several thousand euros, 3D-Tool Premium at 800 euros is very competitively priced - especially because you receive a permanently valid license including all native interfaces and the 3D-NativeCAD Converter. 3D-Tool Premium does not replace a CAD system for design work. However, in many areas where CAD data only needs to be opened, inspected, measured, analyzed, converted or presented, it can make an expensive additional CAD license unnecessary. 3D-Tool Premium is also attractive as a complement to an existing CAD system: the included 3D-NativeCAD Converter provides additional interfaces and helps convert CAD data flexibly into common exchange formats.
