3D-Tool is a viewer for 3D and 2D CAD files; importing many common 3D and 2D CAD File Formats.

Now with a Premium version capable of reading native CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER, and Autodesk Inventor files.

3D-Tool gives you the ability to visualize, analyze, and mark-up, and collaborate your CAD projects.

Read/Convert

Read and write to/from many CAD data exchange formats, and some native CAD file formats. See our File Types page.

Visualize

The simple user interface allows anybody, without special CAD knowledge, to view your models and drawings, zoom in on details or simply look inside your models using dynamic cross sections. Views from any angle can be easily printed or saved as pictures.

Make design reviews successful with Exploded views, Animations, Complex custom saved views, 3D-Notes and dimensions.

Analyze

Various analysis functions such as draft, wall thickness, volume, and measurments, help the mechanical designer understand complex geometry and develop solutions.

Collaborate

With 3D-Tool you can produce zipped self-viewing executable files of your CAD projects, which can be e-mailed and displayed on any PC without installation or additional licensing.

Dimensions and 3D-Notes can be attached to any geometry item to fully convey your thoughts and requirements.

3D-Tool is rich in 3D and 2D features that provide:

Visualization, Graphic Analysis, Mark-up,
and a bundled viewer to communicate
your CAD Projects

• 3D-Tool facilitates detailed review of the design of individual parts or complete assemblies in 3D and 2D, including measuring distances, angles and radii.

• 3D-Notes can be attached to any geometry feature, so your feedback to your designers and vendors can be very clear and accurate.

• The integrated 2D viewer allows you view and print the most universal file and plotting formats. (Including AutoCAD DWG files)

• 3D-Tool uses its own file format, thus your sensitive CAD data cannot be changed unintentionally. The viewer does not give access to your data structure.

• 3D-Tool creates compact, directly executable files (* EXE). These contain the Viewer and the project data. The receiver can immediately execute these files, without installation, to get comprehensive information about your project.

• Several Rapidly Prototyping model cleanup and preparation functions.

• 3D-Tool prints complete models, details or cross sections in any orientation or saves these as JPG or BMP Files. The colors of individual details can be changed at any time.

• 3D-Tool supports many 3D and 2D File Formats.

If you need to explore, annotate, animate, or convey your product concepts, ideas, or details to anyone outside your CAD workgroup - you need 3D-Tool.

You will need it for:

• Project development proposals and quotes
• Internal design reviews
• Customer reviews
• Feedback to vendors

You might even need it to go beyond what your current CAD software provides for draft checking, cross sectioning, viewing and printing drawings and plot file archives.
