THE HARD PARTS //

What slows 3D Visual teams down…

Models too heavy for the web

Your engineering models are built for precision, not for a browser. A single assembly can run to millions of polygons and hundreds of parts, with materials that only render inside the desktop tool. Exported as is, it takes minutes to load on a laptop and crashes on a phone, so sales and marketing fall back to flat images and screenshots.

CAD and marketing drift apart

Engineering changes a part in SolidWorks, and the product page still shows last quarter's version. Marketing keeps its own copies of the models, retouched by an agency, with no link back to the part numbers in PLM. Every revision means another round of exports and re-renders, and nobody can say for sure which image matches what ships.

Configurators that can't price

Your configurator lets buyers pick a color and spin the model, but it doesn't know which options are compatible or what they cost. The rules live in a spreadsheet, the prices live in the ERP, and someone checks the two by hand after the order arrives. Buyers order combinations you can't build, and your team spends days fixing quotes.

Renders that take days

A new product line needs hundreds of images: every color, every size, every angle, in lifestyle scenes and on white. Each one goes through a render queue or a photo studio, and a single change to a part starts the cycle again. Launches wait on assets, and your 3D artists spend their week on variants instead of new work.

CAD & 3D PIPELINE INTEGRATIONS

Your 3D data starts in tools built for engineers. SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Revit and Blender each export in their own formats, with their own units, layers and naming. Getting a model from there to a web page, a catalog or an ERP record usually means a person exporting, cleaning and renaming files by hand. Every manual step is slow, and each one is a chance for the web version to stop matching the part that ships.

We build pipelines that pick up models when they are released, convert them to glTF, reduce polygon counts and compress textures for the web, and run automated checks for scale, missing materials and broken geometry before anything is published. Part numbers and attributes flow to PLM, ERP and your ecommerce catalog with the model, so every system points to the same revision. Each run is logged, and a failed check stops the release and alerts your team instead of shipping a broken file.

WEB CONFIGURATORS & DIGITAL TWINS

A 3D viewer is easy to demo. A configurator that sells is harder. It has to load fast on a phone, show only combinations you can build, and price each one from the same rules your ERP uses. A digital twin has the same problem in a different form: the model is only useful if it reflects live data from the equipment or building it represents, not a snapshot from installation day.

We build browser 3D with WebGL and WebGPU in React and TypeScript, tied to your product rules and pricing so every option is validated and priced as the buyer chooses it. Buyers can preview products in their own space with AR on their phone, and finished configurations reach your CPQ, ERP or cart as valid orders. For digital twins, we connect the model to sensor data and show status, alerts and history in the same view. Load times and errors are tracked on real devices.

AI FOR 3D CONTENT

Generative tools can now draft a 3D model from a sketch, a photo or a sentence, and render a product in any scene. The results are often close but not right: proportions are off, details are invented, and a generated part can look correct while matching nothing you make. Your asset library is a separate problem. Thousands of models and renders sit in folders, with filenames as the only way to find them.

We use text-to-3D and image-to-3D models to draft concepts and placeholder assets, and generate color, material and scene variants from your approved models so renders don't wait in a queue. Vision models tag and describe your existing library so your team can search it by shape, part or style. Every generated asset is labeled as generated, compared against the source model and approved by a named reviewer before it reaches a product page or a customer.
