Document3D 2025

Turn your 3D CAD data into documents people actually use

Document3D transforms CAD models into technical illustrations, interactive manuals, parts catalogs and step-by-step work instructions — published to print, 3D PDF and the web. When the CAD changes, your documents update themselves.

Technical illustrations, parts diagrams and callouts created from CAD

One tool, every output

From CAD model to delivered document

✦

Technical Illustrations

Exploded views, line art and high-resolution renders — SVG, PNG with transparency, 360° sequences.

▣

Interactive 3D PDF & HTML

Documents whose 3D views rotate, zoom and animate in Adobe Reader or any browser.

☰

Multi-Page Documents

Manuals, catalogs and instructions with live parts tables and hyperlinked text.

↻

Smart Updates

Change the CAD model and every illustration, table and page updates automatically.

Interactive work instructions

Step-by-step instructions with animated 3D

Create step-by-step work instructions where each step drives the 3D model — parts appear, tools move, and the parts list updates with every click. Perfect for assembly lines, field service and training.

Interactive catalogs

Drill-down catalogs with live parts tables

Publish interactive catalogs where clicking a parts-table row highlights the part in 3D — and clicking hyperlinks drills down into subassemblies. Delivered as a single HTML file or hosted on Share3D.

Open the Catalog Demo

Any device

Viewed anywhere — no plug-ins

Documents publish as HTML5, so they open in any modern browser — desktop, tablet or phone — with full 3D interactivity. Or hand customers a 3D PDF that works in the free Adobe Reader.

Vector illustrations

SVG output — crisp at any zoom

Shaded, exploded and line-art illustrations publish as vector SVG from the same 3D model. Zoom into a demo viewer and the lines stay sharp — no raster pixels, at any size.
