Key figures that make the difference More than 300,000 users in over 3,000 companies Reading more than 70 native and neutral file formats More than 180 technical features Ability to read 500 MB files in just 4 seconds Solution benefiting from 25+ years of visualization expertise.
3D data processing represents a significant workload for engineering departments: CAD format conversion, model preparation, and extraction of technical metadata. These operations, often manual and repetitive, consume up to 30% of technical teams' time in industrial companies.
In an environment where 3D data exchanges are multiplying between partners, subcontractors, and different departments, engineers devote considerable time to low value-added tasks. KISTERS Automation Server (KAS) addresses this challenge by offering a platform dedicated to automating CAD model processing, allowing standardization and acceleration of technical data flows within the company.
Virtual reality radically transforms the visualization of complex CAD data by offering complete immersion in three-dimensional models. The 3DViewStation VR Edition solution allows engineers and technical decision-makers to instantly load assemblies with millions of components without simplification or prior preparation. In an industrial context where precision and speed are essential, this technology represents a major advance compared to traditional systems.
Collaboration around 3D CAD data has never been easier. Imagine being able to create a project, assign collaborators, and add 3D models by simple drag-and-drop in just minutes. With Kisters VisShare, instantly share your engineering data via a simple link, with no installation required for your recipients, while keeping full control over your valuable technical data.
Designed for industrial companies that need a fast, secure, and efficient solution for collaborating on CAD data, this MultiCAD web platform revolutionizes the sharing of 3D models and 2D drawings between internal teams, remote sites, and external partners.
