3D CAD data security for manufacturing services collaboration

How can you uphold enterprise access of complex 3D CAD data and protect sensitive information at the same time?

3DViewStation WebViewer secures 3D CAD designs, especially for manufacturing collaboration in the defense industry.

Access secure 3D cad designs via HTML 5 browsers.

No installations or downloads

No software is installed, minimizing risks of malware. With HTML 5 web browsers, users never store 3D CAD data locally. Eliminating data transfers better protects your intellectual property.

“When compared to 3DViewStation Desktop, WebViewer provides equally fast performance and over 180 functions to support numerous 2D and 3D file formats,” explains Craig Impastato, U.S. Sales Director. “The browser-based version doesn’t require software installation or updates — saving time and IT resources.”

Enterprise access to correct data

3DViewStation WebViewer provides convenient access for people on the go. It supports mobile devices running iOS, Android, Windows, or Linux. A centralized provisioning server enables all stakeholders work with up-to-date data and have consistent user experience — regardless of the device they used.

Additional IP protections

Impastato stressed, “No geometries are transferred to the viewing device, so sensitive data is fully protected. Additional tools remove components and distort geometries to protect IP.”

Flexible integration options

The KISTERS web application can integrate its features into leading PLM and ERP systems. For full integration, WebViewer can be used purely as a UI element, providing only the canvas and mouse control. In this scenario, the entire user interface is managed by the customer’s system, and commands are sent to WebViewer via the XML API. One practical innovation is its use in truck configurators, allowing customers to customize vehicles.

An alternative option is embedding 3DViewStation WebViewer into a company’s existing software. A streamlined web interface can show essential functions and customer-specific buttons integrated with the main system. This is typical with PLM system integration. Users open, analyze, and annotate CAD models directly within WebViewer.

Small and medium-sized enterprises commonly use 3DViewStation WebViewer without any integration. Their users can load models directly via a URL or file selection window. Then they can visualize CAD data and get full functionality.
