Teamwork made easy.
A portal for 3D model-based information exchange and asynchronous collaboration
Our vision
Our goal is to significantly facilitate collaboration between companies or people in a technical environment by providing a web portal with 3D support.
In addition to that, we want to create the prerequisites for the realization of a digital twin by providing all the necessary data for the operation and maintenance of a machine, a facility, or a building.
We do this by providing the required information based on 2D/3D documents on the one hand and, on the other hand, enabling communication between users that takes place in a controlled environment in the form of working groups.
The focus hereby is on making the software easy to use and on protecting the data and the communication against unauthorized access, as well as ensuring the user is as independent as possible.
Services
Collaborate efficiently with Poi3D.
With Poi3D you can upload 3D models from CAD formats and share them with other users.
As no additional software needs to be installed, users can access the 3D models directly in their web browser.
Standard CAD formats such as Step®, 3DXML® and JT® as well as direct export, e.g. from Autodesk® Revit®, are supported.
In addition, 3D meshes can be imported in OBJ, STL, 3DS, GLB and GLTF formats.
You can also upload 2D documents and share them with other users.
The formats 2D PDF, Multipage Tif and all common image formats are currently supported.
Support of multiple import formats
For using existing 2D and 3D documents
Notes on documents
To support an exchange of information based on specific parts of your 3D model.
3D positions & VR
To identify specific locations.
Add instructions
For example, to facilitate maintenance work.
Comparison of two models
To show structural and geometric differences.
Assign materials
Product managers and designers can assign materials to 3D components in order to coordinate the design in advance.
Design variants in AR mode
To evaluate different designs in a real environment
Attach any number of files to documents and 3D components
To attach additional documents such as protocols, drawings, calculations, etc. to a main document.
Annotations for PDF documents
To coordinate for example contracts, offers or drawings with the partner
Create parts lists with Poi3D and send them to external systems.
The structure of these BOM’s can be changed and re-sorted by assigning position numbers.
Attributes of the individual items can be imported from the 3D model or created newly.
The BOM’s can be exported, for example, in the form of an HTML or PDF file.
In addition to that an export of the BOM’s to external ERP or PLM systems is supported.
This eliminates the need for a PLM/ERP system manufacturer to export construction parts lists directly from the CAD system.
In addition, external users without their own ERP/PLM client can be integrated.
The advantage for the user is that the design engineers are relieved of the tasks of creating BOM’s.
Definition of Bill Of Materials
To derive BOM's from the 3D models and provide them with attributes.
Transfer to ERP/PLM
For transmission to external systems via cloud services
Industries
One platform for all projects.
Benefits
Why Poi3D?
Security
The uploaded models are only available to the owner and members of the corresponding workgroups. Access to the models by unauthorized persons is prevented. Your know how is protected because only representations of the 3D models are used in the portal. The original data stays in your hands. The portal was developed with “privacy by design” in mind and does not use cookies. To register, the user only needs to provide the information required for operation.
Performance
Due to the small file size, the models are loaded very quickly despite of the high resolution and are displayed with a high level of detail.
Special performance optimizations also enable the handling of large models with several thousand components.
Simplicity
The software is very easy to use and intuitive for the user.
Collaboration with other users can therefore take place without special training.
Mobility
Availability
Independency
In addition to using our portal Poi3d.com, we provide individual installations as hosting. This allows the permitted users to be defined by the respective customer
It is also possible to operate the portal yourself. This means that the customer has complete control over the system and is completely independent.

Our offer
If you want to use Poi3D.com, we offer you the following options:
- Ad-hoc projects that can be booked on a monthly basis
- Annual subscription for longer collaboration with your partners
- Individual instance for your company (hosted by us) where you have control over the users
- The portal as an extension of your own software infrastructure hosted by yourself
Hosting
We host the customer projects in a German data center.
In addition to the option of running Poi3D in your own IT environment, we also offer the service of adapting the application to a local server in the respective country.
Customer examples
PROCAD uses our technology in their PDM system PRO.FILE for viewing 3D models and 2D documents, as well as for structure transfer between different "Bill of Material" types (eBOM/mBOM)
ACATEC uses our technology in its CPQ system Spedmaxx to create and control parametric 3D models in the variant management environment.
Zoller uses our technology for the display and handling of 3D models as part of their software product "webTMS Tool Management Solutions" in the tool management area.
TCS uses our technology to configure doorbell systems on the web
