For Teams Working With Large CAD and PLM Data

Agentic 3D Use Cases
AI agents that check designs against company rules, answer technical questions in sales, and guide technicians to the right part.
Connecting Your Own AI
Keep Copilot, Claude, OpenAI, or your internal model. Connect it to live CAD data through MCP, Microsoft Copilot, or Teams.
Control and Data Security
Your PLM stays the master copy and its permissions apply. AI receives part names, metadata, and measurements, never CAD
geometry.
instant3Dhub Releases
New AI tools, supported CAD formats, and SDK updates. What changed and what it means for your integration.

How Your AI Works With Live 3D Data

instant3Dhub connects to your PLM once. Every agent and app then uses that same connection.
01
A Person Asks a Question
In Microsoft Copilot, Teams, or the AI assistant
your company already uses.
02
The AI Queries instant3Dhub
It finds the parts in the live model, reads their
data, and takes measurements.
03
The Answer Comes Back in 3D
With the measured value, linked to the exact
part. A person makes the final decision.
