Why use 3D-Tool in device engineering and medical technology?
In devices, instruments and compact products, housings, controls, connections and precision components are located close together. With 3D-Tool, you inspect assemblies, check dimensions and installation spaces, and detect collisions. You also create technical views. You do not need the original CAD system for this.
Check installation spaces
Check distances and clearances between housings, installed parts, and adjacent components.
Inspect connections
Check connectors, mounting points, holes, and connection dimensions.
Create technical views
Create sections and exploded views for documentation and coordination.
CAD viewer for devices, consumer products, and medical technology
In compact products, housings, controls, connectors, fasteners, and precision components are located close together in a limited space. Manufacturing, assembly, service, and documentation teams must still be able to understand the internal structure quickly.
3D-Tool opens supported CAD data from internal engineering and external suppliers. You show and hide components and examine the internal structure using sections and exploded views. You check dimensions, distances, and installation spaces directly on the model. Informative model views with measurements and annotations support manufacturing, service, and technical documentation.
Inspect devices, instruments, and installation situations
In compact assemblies, dimensions, clearances, and the internal structure must be understandable outside engineering. Depending on the area, 3D-Tool helps you check different points:
- Device and consumer product manufacturers: Inspect housings, controls, and internal assemblies.
- Medical technology and precision engineering: Check instruments, precision components, connections, and small installation spaces.
- Manufacturing and assembly: Trace positions, distances, and the structure using current CAD data.
- Service and technical documentation: Prepare sections, exploded views, and technical views for documents and coordination.
Functions for product inspection and technical visualization
For devices and instruments, the most relevant functions provide insight into compact assemblies and communicate technical details clearly.
- Sections and exploded views: Examine and visualize internal components and assembly structures.
- Measurements: Check distances, angles, radii, diameters, holes, and other dimensions.
- Collision analysis: Detect contacts, intersections, and insufficient clearances between installed parts.
- Visualize and document: Show and hide components and prepare model views with dimensions and annotations for coordination and documentation.

Resolve installation situations and communicate product information clearly
You check housings, installed parts, and connections on the complete product model and then present them clearly to other departments.
- Identify installation problems earlier: Collisions and insufficient clearances become visible directly in the assembly.
- Inspect connections selectively: You check positions, holes, and distances on the model.
- Communicate technical information: Sections, exploded views, and Defined Views support manufacturing, service, and documentation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can 3D-Tool visualize complex device assemblies?
Yes. 3D-Tool opens supported assemblies. You show and hide individual components, section them, or arrange them as exploded views.
Can installation spaces and connectors be measured?
Yes. Distances, angles, diameters, holes, and other dimensions can be checked directly on the model.
Can 3D-Tool detect collisions in compact assemblies?
Yes. Collision analysis shows contacts and intersections. Clearance mode can also visualize insufficient clearances.
Can views be created for technical documentation?
Yes. Components can be shown or hidden, sectioned, or arranged as an exploded view. Measurements, annotations, and Defined Views can be prepared for technical communication.
Is 3D-Tool also suitable for CAD data from medical technology?
Yes. 3D-Tool can open, measure, and visualize supported CAD data for devices, instruments, housings, and precision components. The available formats depend on the edition used.
