Client Overview

Sunglass.io was started by two brilliant MIT graduates with a vision to create a web-based 3D model sharing platform, to enable real-time collaboration between different design teams operating from different geographical locations. Such a platform brings efficiency and productivity to the complete development process.The platform has been acquired by Wikineering, a not-for-profit organization developing a knowledge-sharing platform for engineers.

Project Overview

Web-based 3D model sharing platform to enable real-time collaboration between different design teams operating from different geographical locations.

Challenges:

  • Although they had a team to develop their core product, they trusted the capabilities of ProtoTech Solutions and approached us to develop a full-fledged iOS viewer for CAD models with real-time collaboration capabilities and to develop CAD plug-ins for SolidWorks, Inventor, Rhino, and Maya to work on Cloud.
  • The team was required to make use of REST API, to communicate with Cloud backend and to provide a complete file management facility on the desktop through plug-ins.

Solutions:

ProtoTech developed a web-based 3D model sharing platform for desktop and mobile with features such as real-time collaboration, version control management, review tool, security, 3D parts library, and custom branding, etc.

Benefits

  • ProtoTech team successfully managed product development with changing requirements
  • The team supported 1 million triangles of tessellated data on Mobile viewer
  • The team created a common code architecture for all CAD plug-ins resulting in less development time, faster version updates, and overall maintenance
  • The team completed the assigned work in time with a steep learning curve in the understanding and incorporation of emerging technologies.

"First of all let me say again, amazing work guys. I have been consistently impressed with your solutions, your speed at implementation and ability to improvise with our product and schedules."
