Enrich Teamcenter Siemens PLM with CAD Visualization.

Users of Siemens Teamcenter PLM with Active Workspace can take product lifecycle management to a new level of performance. Enjoy intuitive 2D and 3D CAD visualization when KISTERS 3DViewStation is integrated with the leading PLM environment. In addition to advanced visualization, Teamcenter users gain immediate access to analysis and collaboration capabilities.

Both desktop and web-based deployment scenarios are supported. Include mobile access to achieve a seamless digital twin experience.

New analytical abilities

Users can expect fast and seamless processing of even very large and complex CAD models within the PLM interface when 3DViewStation powers CAD viewing 2D and/or 3D data. All major CAD formats — e.g. CATIA, Creo, NX, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, JT, and STEP — are supported without conversion. Discover all the file formats supported for import and export.

Moreover 180+ functions for analysis are available without opening another application. Measurement, sectioning, comparison and advanced analyses like wall thickness, draft angle, and collision detection go far beyond CAD viewing.

New collaboration possibilities

Increase productivity across departments and partners, accelerating processes from engineering and manufacturing to sales and after-sales.

• Design reviews and change management
  Improve efficiency as approved teams or users can instantly access lightweight yet precise CAD models and document findings. Reduce iteration cycles. Speed up approvals.
• Assembly planning and instructions
  Simplify instructions with intuitive step-by-step visualization — such as exploded views and product manufacturing information display. Clearly communicate complex assemblies to manufacturing teams. Reducing confusion and streamline pilot runs / production trials on the shop floor.
• Service and maintenance workflows
  Help technicians save time with quick part identification, understandable configurations, and access to visual documentation.
• Quotations and orders
  3DViewStation support the query of accurate and real-time inventory in an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

“Empower users to streamline processes across the product lifecycle without switching software or duplicating data. Easy-to-use visualization and mock experiences reduce complexity, even lessen room for errors. When CAD data is accessible to a broader range of approved users, it hastens decision-making and improves ROI,” says Craig Impastato, Sales Manager at KISTERS.
