Ultra Large 3D CAD Visualization

Over the last decade the complexity of mechanical CAD designs has continued to grow.  Despite the improvements in PC hardware, CAD systems are still not capable of loading large designs – regardless of loading time. Therefore, users in the manufacturing industry are relying on visualization solutions to solve this problem reliably and fast.

“We at KISTERS are proud to announce, that 3DViewStation is not only able to load ultra large assemblies in seconds it will also maintain the same impressive speed in functionality before and after the load.” said Kelly Baumann, KISTERS North America Business Development Manager. “Every day our customers are working with models of complete trucks and aircrafts, even plants consisting of 100,000 plus and even several millions of parts. It is such a pleasure for us to see CAD designers filled with excitement after seeing their helicopter in its entirety for the first time. Their CAD tools were never be capable of this.”

“Complex model navigation and selection tools are becoming far more important than the classic measurement and section functions.” she added. “The ability to filter all electrical parts with just a single operation is a true help to many of our customers dealing with the ever-changing complexity of model analysis.”

Known for its modern user-interface, high performance viewing, advanced analysis and integration capabilities into leading systems, 3DViewStation ships with current and mature importers for a broad range of 3D and 2D formats including i.e. Catia, NX, Creo, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Inventor, JT, 3D-PDF, STEP, DWG, DXF, DWF, MS Office and many more.

According to Baumann, the KISTERS 3DViewStation is continuously enhanced in response to customer needs and requirements. It is available as Desktop, ActiveX, VR-Edition and HTML5 WebViewer product-versions. All product flavors are intended to be used together with a PLM, ERP or other management system product configuration or service and spare part applications, providing all necessary APIs. For cloud, portal and web-solutions, there is an HTML5-based WebViewer solution available, which does not require client installation. All file formats can be used in combination with the intelligent navigation and hyperlinking features to address needs of complex integration scenarios.
