The KISTERS 3DViewStation is revolutionizing the shift from complex 2D drawings to a future-proof value chain with 3D CAD data. More and more companies are recognizing the value of transitioning from a full set of technical 2D drawings to a fully model-based 3D design. But MBD is just the beginning: the model-based enterprise (MBE) approach takes it a crucial step further, transforming the entire development process. Cost-effective software solutions like KISTERS 3DViewStation support this transition by facilitating the use of annotated 3D CAD models and enabling quick, easy visualization of annotations within the original file. This not only boosts employee acceptance but also enhances collaboration across the entire organization.

Model-Based Definition (MBD) refers to a 3D CAD model that contains all the necessary information for manufacturing and inspecting a product, known as Product Manufacturing Information (PMI). This model becomes the single source of truth of product information, also known as the 3D Master, replacing traditional 2D drawings. KISTERS 3DViewStation efficiently reads and visualizes these annotations within the 3D CAD model allowing users to easily search for specific information at any time. 3DViewStation offers a wide range of features such as annotations, exploded views, BOM’s, sectional views, surface information, and PMI that can be easily accessed.

“Our 3DViewStation supports the reading of PMI from various sources such as Catia, Creo, NX, JT, STEP, as well as 2D PDFs with attached JT files. This ensures that different teams and departments can always access consistent up-to-date data,” explains Craig Impastato, U.S. Sales Director for KISTERS. Additionally, users can create their own 3D annotations or markups and save them in formats like 3DVS, JT, STEP (AP242), 3D-PDF, or 2D-PDF.

A model-based enterprise (MBE) leverages the benefits of MBD to optimize the entire internal and external supply chain. The 3D CAD model becomes the single source of information for all processes—not only in development and manufacturing but also in change management, production planning, assembly, quality assurance, technical documentation, spare parts management, and even customer and supplier communication. Here, KISTERS 3DViewStation plays a key role by providing a powerful and user-friendly platform for visualizing and accessing PMI data. This allows companies to ensure that all relevant information is centrally located and always up-to-date, reducing time-consuming checks and corrections and accelerating the time-to-market for new products.

Whether as a desktop application, HTML5 based web version or the VR edition, 3DViewStation offers the right solution for every requirement and integrates seamlessly into any existing PLM or leading system. With MBD and MBE, manufacturing processes can not only be accelerated but will also improve quality while lowering development and production cost. KISTERS 3DViewStation quickly enables the shift toward a fully digitized, model-based enterprise, equipping companies to meet the challenges of the future.

KISTERS 3DViewStation is continuously enhanced in response to customer needs and requirements. It is available as a Desktop, HTML5 WebViewer and VR Edition product versions plus the online collaboration tool VisShare. All product offerings can be integrated with a PLM, ERP or other leading management system as well as service and spare part applications. KISTERS 3DViewStation provides all necessary APIs for your development team. For cloud, portal and web solutions, there is a HTML5-based WebViewer solution available, which does not require client installation. All file formats can be used in combination with the intelligent navigation and hyperlinking features to address the needs of complex integration scenarios.
