Trusted by Leading Engineering Enterprises
Why Threedy Over Traditional Solutions
Traditional Catalogs
Static 2D/3D exports
Manual updates
Limited scalability
File-based workflows
Manual part dependencies
With Threedy’s instant3Dhub
Direct access to native CAD data
Fully automated synchronization
Handles very large assemblies
Single source of truth
Intelligent ordering logic
Key Capabilities
Interactive 3D spare parts catalogs from CAD
Intuitive exploration of complex assemblies in a high-performance 3D viewer, smart navigation through hierarchies. Clicking on parts instantly reveals all relevant information such as part number, description, and availability, enabling fast, accurate identification even for very large and complex machines.
Key Capabilities
Intelligent ordering logic for required components
The solution supports intelligent ordering workflows by automatically detecting required additional components and enforcing dependency rules, such as ensuring that when a belt is ordered, the corresponding screws and rollers are included such as mandatory additional components. Users can collect parts with quantities and generate structured order summaries or PDFs, reducing incorrect orders and streamlining after-sales processes.
Key Capabilities
Enterprise Integration & Secure Web Access
Connect to ERP, PLM, and service systems to exchange master data, pricing, availability, and documentation. The web UI provides instant access without local installations and can be embedded into existing portals while preserving existing access control and secure handling of CAD data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Explore common questions about integrating, syncing, and deploying interactive 3D spare parts catalogs.
What is an interactive 3D spare parts catalog?
An interactive 3D spare parts catalog lets service teams and customers identify and order parts by exploring the actual 3D model of a machine instead of paging through static 2D diagrams. With instant3Dhub, the catalog is generated directly from live CAD data, so clicking any part reveals its part number, description, and availability and it stays in sync as designs change.
How are BOMs and part dependencies handled?
Both BOMs (bills of materials) and MBOMs (manufacturing bills of materials) are integrated and linked directly to the 3D parts and their native CAD information. The catalog uses the relationships within the CAD data, BOMs, and MBOMs to understand how parts depend on one another for example, identifying mandatory additional components that must be ordered together. This means when a technician selects a part, the system can automatically surface the related items it requires, reducing incomplete or incorrect orders. Because these dependencies are drawn from the actual engineering data rather than maintained by hand, they stay accurate as designs evolve.
Can this integrate with ERP and webshop systems?
Yes. The spare parts catalog integrates with ERP, PLM, and e-commerce or webshop systems to exchange master data, pricing, availability, and order information in both directions. This connects the 3D identification experience to your commercial and operational systems, so a part identified in the catalog can carry its correct number, price, and stock status, and flow into an order without manual re-entry. The result is a seamless end-to-end workflow from visually locating the right part in the 3D model to placing a validated order and the catalog can be embedded directly into existing service portals or webshops.
Does the catalog stay in sync with design changes?
Yes. Because the catalog is generated directly from live CAD data, any changes to CAD models, BOMs, or metadata are automatically synchronized rather than updated by hand. When engineering releases a new revision, the spare parts, their relationships, and the associated information reflect the latest released data without a manual rebuild of the catalog. This keeps service and after-sales teams working from a single, accurate source of truth, and avoids the common problem of static catalogs drifting out of date which leads to wrong parts being identified and ordered.
Can service technicians use it in the field?
Yes. The catalog is a web-based application designed to work on mobile devices, so service technicians can identify and verify parts directly in the field on a tablet or phone at the machine without a desktop workstation or local software. It's built to remain usable even when connectivity is limited, which matters for on-site service in workshops, plants, and remote locations. Technicians can explore the 3D model, confirm the correct part and its dependencies, and prepare an accurate order on the spot, reducing repeat visits caused by misidentified or missing components.
