Overview

Enable the various departments involved (design, production, quality, purchasing) to directly view CAD files in order to effectively manage design, manufacturing, and procurement activities.

Quick Start

• Load a GLB file into an attachment attribute of a board entity.

• Open the 3D viewer from a view displaying the attachment attribute.

• View the part with basic features (zoom, rotation, etc.).

• Create an instant preview visible directly in a Suivi view (a thumbnail).

3D Viewer Features

🔹 Navigation and Manipulation

• Zoom

  Allows you to zoom in on the part to observe its details.

• Manual Rotation

  Allows you to rotate and move the part to explore it from different angles.

🔹 Display and Presentation

• Background change

  Changes the background to improve visibility, especially for low-contrast elements (e.g., black tires on a black background).

• Automatic rotation

  Triggers a continuous 360° rotation for a complete view of the part.

• Full screen

  Activates full screen mode for better immersion and optimal handling comfort.

🔹 Visual Production and Sharing

• Screenshots

  Allows you to capture the current view, useful for catalogs, communication, or sharing between departments.

• Thumbnail Creation

  Automatically generates a representative image of the part, used in lists or views to improve readability (replaces a generic icon).

Prerequisites / Functional Limitations

• GLB file type (ASM or PRT type ready to be viewed, generated from CAD files, there are no other 3D part assembly formats with metadata.

• Maximum file size: 128 MB.

• The 3D viewer is exclusively intended for viewing and presenting parts and assemblies. It does not allow any modification, editing, or use for production purposes.

Use Cases

🔹Design and Engineering

• Design Management

  Enables visualization of parts and assemblies during the design phase to facilitate exchanges between teams (engineering, project managers).

🔹Manufacturing and Industrialization

• Transfer to Manufacturing Department

  Facilitates visual sharing of products with production teams without requiring CAD tools.

🔹Quality

• Quality Management

  Allows visual identification of product issues (non-conformities, defects, misunderstandings).

🔹Purchasing and Procurement

• Component Verification

  Helps visually validate parts and components in purchasing and supply processes.

🔹Global Management (Lightweight PLM)

• Suivi of the product lifecycle

  Enables a cross-functional visual view of the product throughout its lifecycle: design, methods, manufacturing, purchasing, quality.

• Decision Support

  Provides managers and executives with visual support to guide activities and facilitate understanding of technical subjects.

🔹Practical Use Cases

• Machine Sales Process

  Visually present products to clients or partners.

• Support for operational exchanges

  Quickly identify a part via its code or name during technical discussions or problem resolution.
