KISTERS 3DViewStation V2021 reduces need for CAD licenses with new and extended analysis functions
Textures, undercut analysis, fast distance calculation among thousands of parts
(PresseBox) - KISTERS has announced the 2021 release of its 3DViewStation product family, offering a multitude of improvements and enhancements that help users gradually replace costly CAD licenses with an intelligent viewer.
The new features include powerful analysis functions such as undercut calculation in real time and extremely fast distance calculation between thousands of components. In addition, 3DViewStation now also supports textures that bring technical products to life and offers new options for displaying attributes, sections, measurements and selections.
?The new undercut calculation in real time makes it possible to examine complex CAD models for possible manufacturing problems, for example, to estimate the complexity of the required tool,? said Jim Eardly, KISTERS North America Sales Manager. ?In this way, users can quickly and reliably identify critical areas as early as the offer phase. This leads to a realistic cost calculation and increased competitiveness, since it becomes easier to assess the amount of work required to manufacture a tool.?
entire industrial systems are to be checked,? Eardly added. ?Typical for such an analysis is the long calculation time in which thousands of component distances have to be calculated. 3DViewStation calculates the minimum distance in a matter of seconds and thus offers quick and reliable protection against costly planning errors.?
With the newly integrated textures, CAD models appear more detailed and realistic. This look increases the realistic impression of the 3D objects and enhances the design aesthetically. This is particularly interesting for those areas where a realistic representation is important, such as presentations, catalogs or virtual reality. This gives customers a realistic impression of their final product as early as the design phase. The 3DViewStation supports the textures in the file formats OBJ, FBX, GLB / GLTF, DAE, U3D, 3DVS and 3MF.
Here is an overview of the main improvements:
New and enhanced file formats:
Import 3D: 3MF, Solidworks 2021

measurements using points: snapping of end or center of lines or edges
PMI: select all PMI attached to the selected geometry
BOM:
Extend BOM table by attributes
generate callout ID by attribute
assign attributes to markups
create intersection point of 2 edges
Offset lines can now remember transformation path
position camera perpendicular to surface
show current mouse coordinate in the status bar
VR only:
2 new fly modes
improved teleport marker
reposition camera in fix steps
WebViewer only: share session between several users
Known for its modern user-interface, high performance viewing, advanced analysis and integration capabilities into leading systems, 3DViewStation ships with current and mature importers for a broad range of 3D and 2D formats including i.e. Catia, NX, Creo, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Inventor, Revit, JT, 3D-PDF, STEP, DWG, DXF, DWF, MS Office and many more.
