Geometric Information Model Collaboration Tool

The Geometric Information Model Collaboration Tool is an online collaboration tool that is meant to make the process of working with CAD files or geometric information easier for engineers, manufacturers, builders, and other project participants.

The application provides all basic functions of working with complex CAD models and geometric files such as uploading, viewing, analyzing, sharing, and collaborating with other users. These functions include 3D model visualization, selection of elements, isolation of some parts, control over access rights, encryption, model compression, and others.

The collaboration tool helps organizations to share full designs or individual elements with selected groups or people, controlling access to shared materials. The tool offers effective compression of CAD models, thus allowing people to use large models without the need for powerful PCs or fast connections. The tool is suitable for various industries, including civil engineering, construction and installation, machine building, manufacturing, and product design.

• Centralize CAD and geometric model collaboration.
• Enable users to view complex 3D CAD models through a web-based platform.
• Simplify sharing of CAD models with project stakeholders.
• Provide granular control over model elements and details.
• Enable secure public and private sharing of CAD data.
• Protect sensitive geometric information through encryption and access control.
• Support remote collaboration on large engineering projects.
• Reduce CAD file sizes through advanced compression.
• Improve accessibility of complex models without requiring high-end hardware.
• Provide administrators with visibility into user activity and product usage.

1. Managing Complex CAD Data Files

Engineering and manufacturing companies deal with large and complex CAD models having a lot of geometric data that can be difficult to manage and exchange in the case of a file-based approach.

2. Big Size of CAD Files

Sometimes the detailed CAD models are very big; hence, they are difficult to transmit and manage. In addition, the large file size means that special hardware and high-speed networks are required.

3. Lack of Controls on Exchange of Design Data

Sometimes only a certain part of the design is shared, not the whole model. The company may want to protect some of the design data while exchanging CAD models.

4. Secure Collaboration With Multiple Participants

Projects in engineering and construction require collaboration with multiple participants and distribution of CAD models between them. The problem is to ensure secure exchange and access control on viewing and downloading CAD models.

5. Collaborating Remotely on Large Projects

CAD models are collaborated on by engineering teams located at different places.

3D CAD Model Viewer

View detailed CAD and geometric models through an interactive 3D interface with zoom, rotation, and model navigation capabilities.

CAD Element Selection

Select individual or multiple elements within a CAD model to inspect specific components of interest.

Element Isolation

Isolate selected components or elements to allow stakeholders to focus on specific areas of a larger design.

Selective Detail Sharing

Share the complete model or only selected elements based on the requirements of project stakeholders.

Cloud Storage

Store CAD objects in the cloud for easier access, management, and collaboration across distributed teams.

Access & Permission Management

Define whether CAD objects are public or private and control which users can view or download shared models.

User Activity Tracking

Administrators and authorized users can track users accessing and using the platform.

CAD Data Encryption

Protect sensitive CAD and geometric information through data encryption and controlled access.

Remote Collaboration

Enable geographically distributed teams to collaborate on CAD objects and large engineering projects.

Multi-User Collaboration

Support collaboration between multiple stakeholders working on shared CAD data from remote locations.

CAD File Compression

Compress large CAD files to reduce storage and transfer requirements while maintaining access to detailed geometric information.

Interactive 3D Navigation

Navigate complex geometric models and inspect detailed areas through interactive 3D visualization.
