Success stories from our clients
- ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Wir verkaufen mehr als 1.000 Biegemaschinen pro Jahr in alle Welt und liefern sie mit Roboterzellen aus. Bis 2020 haben wir mit jeder Biegemaschine, die wir auslieferten, einen Techniker mitgeschickt, der die Maschine beim Kunden mit der Roboterzelle verknüpfte und in Betrieb nahm. Das kostete uns beträchtliche Ressourcen. Dann schlug 3DIT uns vor, die Arbeit des Technikers mit einer dreidimensionalen Schritt-für-Schritt-Anleitung abzubilden, sie unseren Kunden zu geben und sie so zu befähigen, diese Arbeit selbst zu erledigen. Das hat wunderbar funktioniert – und sich natürlich auch finanziell stark rentiert.
- ★ ★ ★ ★ ★Ein großer Kunde in Asien forderte, dass wir die Pumpen nicht mit gedruckten Handbüchern liefern, sondern ihren Mitarbeitern für die Montage, Inbetriebnahme und Wartung digitale Anleitungen an die Hand geben. Da haben wir mit 3DIT die Idee der 3D-Anleitungen entwickelt. Die Lösung hat sich vor Ort ausgezeichnet bewährt, der Kunde war hoch zufrieden und wir hatten eine Möglichkeit entdeckt, uns im Wettbewerb zu exponieren. Vor allem in Asien hilft uns das sehr.

How an Interactive 3D assembly instruction is Created
From concept to rollout, we’re with you every step of the way
Concept
Depending on the application scenario and the available CAD data + content, e.g., from ST4, a CMS or PDFs, we develop the workflow and layout for the guides.
Implementation
No surprises at the end. When our highly skilled team shapes your digital 3D assembly instruction, you’ll receive initial drafts for approval in a short time.
Rollout
We personally oversee the implementation of your digital 3D assembly instruction on your website, even on-site if needed. We are satisfied only when you are.

Everything You Need to Know About Digital 3D assembly instructions
Questions and Answers
What do you need from us to create a digital 3D assembly instruction?
Ideally, provide us with CAD data of your product. We offer a free review to check if the data is suitable. If needed, we can sign a non-disclosure agreement. If CAD data isn’t available, for instance, for an entire application environment, provide us with images or sketches, and we will model it for you. If your 3D assembly instruction needs to display components or processes in action, videos or simulations of the functionality are helpful. You can also contribute texts and other media to enrich your digital 3D assembly instruction.
How is our know-how protected in a digital 3D assembly instruction?
A 3D assembly instruction no longer contains CAD data. All metadata is also removed, making reverse engineering impossible! We simply remove anything you don’t want to display in your 3D product model.
We have hundreds of product variants. Won’t 3D assembly instructions be too expensive?
For such cases, we develop a pipeline for model preparation. This pipeline automates much of the manual work that skilled 3D artists and designers typically perform. The effort and time required for model preparation are drastically reduced, making digital 3D assembly instructions affordable even for thousands of products.
What if we have a very small budget?
Our digital 3D assembly instructions often cost no more than '3D' videos, despite offering superior benefits. Alternatively, consider our Govie Editor: It allows you to create digital 3D assembly instructions for your products and publish them on any imaginable device—all without programming skills. Many users achieve excellent results, especially with manageable project complexity.
We’re familiar with 3D. Can we reduce costs by doing part of the work ourselves?
Yes, that's possible. You can start by reducing your CAD models yourself. We are happy to guide you on what’s important. If you can also design and animate 3D models using tools like Blender or 3ds Max, these can be used to create digital 3D assembly instructions. Additionally, our Govie Editor helps you transform these models into impressive digital 3D assembly instructions without programming knowledge.
Our agency also works with 3D. What’s the difference?
Many agencies create polished images and videos from 3D models. However, videos are not true 3D; they remain a 2D medium. Genuine digital 3D assembly instructions let you explore your product in a 3D environment—rotate it, look inside, and see animations running simultaneously. This is not possible with videos or in the real world and leads to better engagement and product understanding. We complement your current agency, not replace it, and are happy to collaborate.
What about VR, AR, MR, XR, and the Metaverse?
We provide the 3D content for Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and the Metaverse as variations of Extended Reality (XR). We know how to integrate and use this content in VR, AR, and MR applications. Simply put: everything starts with 3D(IT). Talk to us!
