Fast, efficient and affordable: Create and maintain 3D work and repair instructions easily with Kisters 3DViewStation

3D CAD data preparation made easy, almost like working with office tools

Austin, May 5th, 2025 - KISTERS 3DViewStation offers a powerful solution for quickly creating and efficiently maintaining technical instructions. Whether for production, service or training - the software can be used to create visual work and repair instructions from existing 3D CAD data in no time at all, which are easy to understand and always up-to-date.

In many manufacturing companies, there is a growing need for digital and interactive instructions that simplify processes and minimize sources of error. This is exactly where the 3DViewStation comes in: It enables users to open CAD data in a wide range of formats (including CATIA, NX, SolidWorks, STEP, JT) without conversion and use it to create step-by-step documentation for assembly or repairs - including exploded views, detailed views and parts lists.

Interactive & online 3D instructions replace local, static documents

A special highlight is the 3DViewStation WebViewer version, which only requires a browser to create interactive assembly or service instructions. These can be integrated directly into web portals, mobile devices or machine terminals - ideal for use in the field or in production. Users can call up each work step as a predefined 3D view, freely rotate and zoom components or query specific status information via the 3D model - without any CAD knowledge and without having to download 3D CAD data to the end device.

Simple maintenance for design changes

Thanks to the close integration with current CAD data, existing instructions can be updated quickly when changes are made to the model. Existing views or exploded views do not have to be rebuilt, but can be adopted and adapted. This saves companies time and ensures that their documentation is always up to date.

No CAD license required

The use of 3DViewStation does not require a separate CAD license - this makes the solution particularly cost-effective and therefore attractive for technical editors, service technicians and all users outside the design department. This enables broad, company-wide access to product data - without additional software costs.

Increased efficiency for documentation, service and training

With 3DViewStation, companies not only speed up the creation of technical instructions, but also improve their quality and comprehensibility. Whether as a classic manual, visual training document or interactive tool for service - 3DViewStation makes technical communication simple, fast and future-proof.
