Share3D Summer '15 Upgrades

This blog post is to highlight some recent upgrades to Share3D to support web publishing of 3D technical information and online catalogs with an intergrated shopping cart.

Share3D is based on standard web technologies such as WebGL and does not require plugins. This makes it a powerful solution for ubiquitous viewing of 3D within all leading browsers and across PCs, Macs and most mobile devices.

The recent new features make Share3D a full, cloud-based solution for technical publications, including online solutions for:

  • Web publishing for delivering public web pages and embedding interactive 3D in corporate web sites
  • Online catalogs for delivering interactive 3D catalogs with shopping cart capabilities
  • Team collaboration for private manufacturing instructions delivery and field service portals

New! Web Publishing

Public sharing features empower manufacturing companies to create and publish web pages based on existing 3D data. Public web pages can be protected with simple passwords, as appropriate. For companies seeking to maintain branding, public web pages can present company information or 3D content hosted on Share3D can be embedded in existing corporate sites. Learn more

Check out the following embedded example. This is part of the new web publishing capabilities. You can easily add interactive 3D materials like this to your own web site using Share3D.

New! Online Catalogs

New shopping cart features enable Share3D users to quickly create parts catalogs from 3D CAD files. Individual line items can be selected in 3D or from a parts list and added to the shopping cart. A checkout process enables viewers to submit the shopping cart to the publisher for initiating quote requests and purchase orders. Learn more

New! Data Connections!

Supports online catalogs by allowing Share3D to access external pricing, inventory and other on-demand part information from ERP, PLM or other systems. Shopping Cart and Data Connection features are currently in beta.

New! Online File Management

Allows users to sort and filter their uploaded 3D files and add them to a favorites list for easily accessing files.

New! Mobile Touch Support

Browser-based touch support enables users to interact with 3D on iOS and Android mobile devices.

New! Online Documentation
