Add interactive 3D to your product catalogue

Add a 3D viewer for product catalogues to your existing website so customers can inspect each product alongside its specifications and enquiry options. Start with selected products and expand across your range.

Online product catalogue with an interactive 3D viewer integrated into a product page

Add 3D without rebuilding your product catalogue

Your website can continue to manage product names, specifications, downloads, prices and enquiry forms. 3DViewerOnline adds an interactive model to the relevant product page, allowing customers to inspect the product without leaving your existing catalogue.
You can introduce 3D gradually, beginning with your most important products and expanding the catalogue as more models become available.

From 3D file to online product experience

Product catalogue listing with multiple products available to explore

Browse the range

Customers navigate categories, filters and product families using your existing website.

Selected product page showing product information and options

Select a product

The product page combines commercial information, specifications and downloads.

Selected product displayed in an interactive 3D viewer

Inspect it in 3D

Customers rotate and zoom the model to understand shape, proportions and connection details.

Product enquiry form displayed alongside the selected product

Continue the buying journey

The same page can lead to an enquiry, quotation request, distributor or purchasing process.

Connect your product pages to a library of 3D models

Each product page can display the model associated with that item while the surrounding catalogue remains managed by your existing website or content-management system.
This approach separates the 3D experience from product data. Your website continues to manage descriptions and specifications, while 3DViewerOnline provides browser-based access to the model.

Prepare a catalogue that can grow

Prioritise the right products

Begin with best sellers, technically complex products or items that are difficult to communicate using photographs alone.

Standardise the models

Agree on model orientation, scale, naming and the level of detail required for web viewing.

Match models to pages

Maintain a clear relationship between each catalogue item, its product identifier and its corresponding 3D model.

Start with a pilot, then expand the catalogue

You do not need to convert the entire catalogue at once. A staged rollout allows you to establish the presentation, model-preparation process and internal responsibilities before adding more products.

Give every product a consistent 3D experience

Use a repeatable viewer configuration across product families so customers encounter familiar controls and presentation throughout the catalogue.
Depending on your plan and configuration, the logo, colours and available toolbar controls can be adapted to complement the surrounding website.

Product viewers using consistent branding, colours and controls across a catalogue

Which products should you add first?

Products with complex geometry

Use 3D where photographs struggle to explain the overall form or arrangement.

Products with important connections

Help customers inspect ports, mounting points, interfaces and component relationships.

Products requiring technical evaluation

Give engineers and buyers another way to assess a product before requesting more information.

3D product catalogue frequently asked questions

Does 3DViewerOnline replace my existing catalogue?

No. It adds interactive 3D models to product pages managed by your existing website or catalogue system.

Can I begin with only a few products?

Yes. You can start with selected products or one product family and add further models over time.

Can I use it for a large catalogue?

Yes. You can use 3DViewerOnline for a large product catalogue. The number of models you can store depends on the storage available with your account.

How should I organise the models?

Use consistent file names and maintain a clear relationship between each model and the corresponding product identifier or page.

Should every product have a 3D model?

Not necessarily. Begin with products where interactive inspection provides the clearest benefit, then expand according to customer needs and available models.

Can the viewers have a consistent appearance?

Yes. Use consistent branding and toolbar settings across your product models so customers encounter familiar controls throughout the catalogue. Available customisation options depend on your plan.

Which files can I use?

Supported CAD and 3D formats include STEP, IGES, STL, GLTF, 3MF, OBJ, DWG and more. File capabilities and requirements vary by format. Check supported formats and upload requirements.
