Case Study: a major automotive manufacturer modernizes browser-based engineering visualization with Tech Soft 3D HOOPS Toolkits

a major automotive manufacturer boosts engineering visualization efficiency with Tech Soft 3D at a fraction of the cost

The customer, a major U.S. automotive manufacturer, faced challenges modernizing its engineering visualization. Their previous web viewer required downloading large files and lacked support for critical Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) and assembly navigation. They partnered with vendor Tech Soft 3D to find a web-native, streamable platform that would give them full control over their technical stack and data.

Tech Soft 3D provided HOOPS Exchange for CAD data access and HOOPS Visualize for powerful 3D streaming in the browser. This solution delivered the required PMI support and Bill of Materials navigation while integrating with the manufacturer's existing PLM system. The results included powerful features at a fraction of the cost of internal development, maintaining full control over their data, and significantly improving team efficiency.
