Customers rotate, zoom, and measure to understand scale and fit. Lighting and material presets ensure consistent brand presentation across all products. Real estate firms, kitchen designers, and furniture makers use ObjectStage to help buyers visualize purchases.

PolyCanvas is a sculpting tool for hard-surface modeling that emphasizes speed over mathematical precision. Game artists, toy designers, and VFX supervisors use it to blockout forms, test silhouettes, and iterate rapidly. The brush engine simulates clay physics for organic detailing while retopology tools prepare models for animation. Export to FBX, OBJ, or glTF for games, animation, or 3D printing. Indie studios and AAA concept teams rely on PolyCanvas for rapid ideation.

ProtoViz turns CAD models into interactive web experiences for customer reviews and internal stakeholders. Designers upload STEP files and configure exploded views, animation sequences, and measurement tools. No coding required: drag nodes to define hotspots that reveal material specs or assembly instructions. The interactive viewer embeds in presentations, datasheets, and product pages. Design agencies and B2B manufacturers use ProtoViz to communicate concepts faster.

RenderCache accelerates product rendering for large catalogs by caching expensive computations. The system detects when a new product reuses lighting, backgrounds, or material settings from previous renders and skips recalculation. Render farms process 1,000 product images in parallel. The cache learns from brand style so new products render with consistent aesthetics. Marketplace sellers and distribution centers use RenderCache to refresh imagery monthly.

RenderPro is a GPU-accelerated rendering engine for product visualization on web pages and e-commerce sites. Brands upload 3D CAD files and configure lighting, reflections, and material properties in minutes. The result is an interactive model customers can rotate, zoom, and inspect on any device. Real-time ray tracing updates as users tweak paint color or finish texture. Furniture retailers, automotive configurators, and jewelry brands use RenderPro to reduce return rates.

ShapeSync bridges CAD tools by syncing parametric models across teams using different software. A mechanical engineer in SolidWorks and an industrial designer in Rhino edit the same part simultaneously without file locks. Changes propagate in real-time to preserve design intent. Version rollback is instant if a change breaks a constraint. Teams at aerospace suppliers and robotics firms use ShapeSync to unify workflows across disciplines.

SketcherPro is a 2D sketching tool that feeds into parametric modeling workflows. Engineers constrain lines, circles, and rectangles using geometric and dimensional relationships. Intelligent inference snaps geometry to common alignments. Sketch-to-3D conversion is instant so designers move rapidly from concept to solid. Teams prefer SketcherPro for sketch-first design approaches.

StructureHub is a repository for structural analysis results tied to 3D geometry. Civil engineers upload FEA simulations from ANSYS or COMSOL and annotate stress hotspots directly on the model. Archive versions include load cases and material properties so future audits trace design decisions. Contractors and consulting firms query the database by building type, span length, or seismic category. The system enforces data lineage for code compliance and insurance documentation.

SurfaceStudio specializes in Class A surfacing for automotive and consumer design. Designers sculpt freeform surfaces that blend tangentially with hard edges and maintain strict curvature continuity.
