Features

Built for the web, not just any 3D

Faithful materials

Face, body and part appearances map to correct PBR — steel looks like steel. sRGB-correct color, real metalness.

True instancing

100 copies of a bolt become 1 mesh and 100 nodes. Small files, fast viewers.

Every format included

GLB, glTF and a single-file HTML viewer you can e-mail to anyone.

Web-viewer ready

Center-at-origin, Y-up, embedded metadata — drops straight into three.js or model-viewer.

Copy protection done right

2 seats per license, self-service seat management, automatic re-activation after a reinstall.

Your language

English by default, and it follows your SOLIDWORKS language automatically.
