The project involved developing a web-based 3D model-sharing platform designed to enable seamless real-time collaboration for design teams across the globe.
Despite having a strong in-house team for their core product development, Sunglass.io recognized the need for specialized expertise to:
- Develop an iOS CAD viewer with real-time collaboration features.
- Build CAD plug-ins for SolidWorks, Inventor, Rhino, and Maya that integrate seamlessly with the cloud.
- Implement a robust REST API to manage communication with the cloud backend and provide advanced file management features on the desktop.
They turned to ProtoTech Solutions for their proven track record in CAD and 3D visualization technologies.
ProtoTech Solutions rose to the challenge, delivering a comprehensive solution that included:
- Real-Time Collaboration: Enabled design teams to work simultaneously, reducing bottlenecks and improving communication.
- Platform Features: Integrated essential tools such as version control, review capabilities, a secure 3D parts library, and custom branding options.
- Mobile Compatibility: Designed an iOS viewer capable of supporting over 1 million triangles of tessellated data, ensuring smooth and accurate rendering.
- Unified CAD Plug-ins: Developed plug-ins for multiple CAD platforms using a common code architecture, simplifying updates and maintenance.
