KISTERS 3DViewStation Integrations Available

KISTERS makes available Siemens Teamcenter and Active Workspace integration with the KISTERS 3DViewStation, for intuitive 3D and 2D CAD visualization directly within the product lifecycle management (PLM) environment. With these integrations, implemented by KISTERS integration partner Four Colors, users of Siemens PLM systems gain access to advanced visualization, analysis, and collaboration capabilities.

Integration Options for Desktop and Web

• Teamcenter Active Workspace and 3DViewStation WebViewer: 3DViewStation runs fully browser-based inside the user interface of Active Workspace.
• Teamcenter Active Workspace and 3DViewStation Desktop: Launched from the Active Workspace interface, the Desktop application allows users to work with full-featured functionality on local machines.
• Teamcenter Rich Client and 3DViewStation Desktop: In settings based on Teamcenter Rich Client, 3DViewStation Desktop operates as an application that runs outside the PLM client. 
• 3DViewStation Desktop and Teamcenter Rich Client: Users can initiate searches within the 3DViewStation interface and open 3D CAD data stored in Teamcenter without navigating the PLM client.

The 3DViewStation integration allows fast processing of very large and complex 3D and 2D CAD models, supporting all major CAD formats—like CATIA, Creo, NX, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, JT, and STEP—without conversion. Users can search and visualize data from Teamcenter or Active Workspace right away. 

“By integrating 3DViewStation into Siemens PLM, we empower users to streamline processes across the product lifecycle without switching systems or duplicating data. The result is an easy-to-use visualization and mock-up experience that reduces complexity, minimizes errors, fastens decision-making and makes CAD data accessible to a broader range of users,” says Craig Impastato, sales manager at KISTERS.
