Visual Product Collaboration converts your CAD files into lightweight 3D models, navigable via browser — no plugins, no additional licenses. Anyone in your value chain can access the model, browse the BOM, download documents and collaborate in real time.
PRODUCT COLLABORATION
RuleDesigner Visual Product Collaboration
Your 3D models beyond the CAD. Share, collaborate, decide — without installing anything.
What is Visual Product Collaboration
The 3D models you created in CAD contain valuable information — but they remain inaccessible to anyone without specialist software.
Request a Demo
3D is locked inside CAD. And it costs.
Outside the engineering department, no one can access product data. The result: errors, delays and decisions made without the right information.
3D is only accessible to CAD users
Sales, service, purchasing, suppliers — no one can view the model without a software license. Information stays locked inside the engineering department.
PDFs and screenshots are not enough
Static images or PDFs are shared, becoming obsolete as soon as the project changes. Decision-makers work on outdated, non-interactive data.
Revisions create confusion
Every project change requires redistributing files, manually notifying everyone involved and hoping they all work on the latest version.
Technical communication is inefficient
Suppliers, customers and internal teams communicate via email with heavy attachments, misaligned versions and no traceability of decisions made.
From now on, 3D travels with the browser.
Visual Product Collaboration converts your CAD files into navigable 3D models — accessible to anyone, anywhere, without additional software.
01 — Conversion
From CAD to web, automatically
CAD files are automatically converted into a lightweight web-optimised format — with a reduction factor of 10x to 100x compared to the original file. No manual intervention required.
02 — Publishing
Accessible via browser, anywhere
The 3D model is published in a role-based web portal. Any authorised user can navigate the model, browse the BOM, download documents — from the browser, no plugins needed.
03 — Collaboration
Everyone works on the same version
Every CAD project change is automatically reflected in the portal. Suppliers, customers and internal teams always work on the latest version — with integrated messaging and traceability tools.
What you get, concretely.
Visual Product Collaboration breaks down the barriers between the engineering department and the rest of the value chain.
Decisions based on real data
Sales, service and suppliers access the updated model — not a PDF from three weeks ago. Decisions are based on real, traceable information.
Fewer emails, fewer errors, fewer delays
Technical communication happens directly on the model — with integrated messaging, automatic notifications and access logs. No more parallel versions circulating via email.
Role-based and traceable access
Each user sees only what they are authorised to see. Access logs record who viewed what and when — enabling secure sharing even with external parties.
Integrated with your PLM ecosystem
Visual Product Collaboration integrates with RuleDesigner’s PLM and BPM modules. The 3D model is linked to attributes, BOMs and documents managed in the system — always aligned.
