Use cases
Where product
decisions happen.
No scattered feedback. Just one space where teams work directly on the model.
Design Reviews
Review the model.
Not a screenshot.
Engineers and designers explore the model together — rotating, sectioning, and measuring in real time. No more “can you scroll back?” moments.
Independent navigation
Everyone controls their own view.
Section cuts & measurements
Check fit and clearance, live.
Decisions anchored to geometry
Feedback stays pinned to the model.
Drawing Reviews
Mark up drawings.
Right on the file.
Reviewers annotate drawings directly in the browser — dimensions, redlines, and comments pinned exactly where they belong. No emailing PDFs back and forth.
Multi-page drawing support
Navigate full drawing sets with control.
Precision markup tools
Redline, dimension, and comment in place.
Linked to the 3D model
Drawings and models stay in sync.
Supplier Collaboration
Your supplier is in the
model in 30 seconds.
Share a link — no downloads, no account, no IT ticket. Your supplier reviews right in the browser, and their process IP stays theirs.
Join instantly
Open the link and start reviewing.
You control access
View, comment, or edit — your call.
Decisions stay with the model
No buried email, Teams, or Slack threads.
Manufacturing Handoff
Send context.
Not just files.
Manufacturing doesn’t just get files — they get the full picture. Decisions, annotations, and specs stay with the model.
Every decision, captured
Nothing gets lost.
Show exactly what you mean
Call out issues directly on the model.
Everything in one place
Drawings, specs, and models — together.
Cross-Functional Teams
Bring everyone to the model.
When everyone sees the real model, conversations get sharper — and decisions happen faster.
No CAD required
Anyone can open the model in a browser.
The model is the meeting
No screen sharing. No confusion.
Share what matters
Save exact viewpoints for clarity.
Field & Service
The model goes
where the work is.
Technicians access the model anywhere and flag issues directly on the part — so engineering sees exactly what’s happening.
Works on any device
Phone, tablet, or desktop.
Pin issues to the part
No guessing what broke.
Loop in engineering instantly
No delays. No back-and-forth.
Education
Teach engineering
the way it actually works.
Students don’t learn from slides — they learn by working in the model. CADchat brings real reviews, real feedback, and real collaboration into the classroom.
Run real design reviews
On the actual model — not slides.
Simulate real-world roles
Designer, engineer, supplier.
Feedback in context
Comments tied directly to geometry.
From the field
Teams already working in the model.
Early teams are already running real reviews across companies, suppliers, and borders.
OEM + overseas supplier
A global manufacturer of heavy energy equipment reviews designs with a key supplier overseas — both teams in the same model, across the time difference. No files to ship, and nothing for the supplier to install.
Design across borders
A European product designer hands work to manufacturing partners in several countries. The full design — decisions, annotations, and specs — travels with the model, so nothing gets lost in translation.
Customer + manufacturer
A product development team runs a project between its customer and the manufacturer. Everyone meets at the same model instead of relaying feedback back and forth — no one left playing middleman.
By audience
Looking at CADchat from a specific seat?
For Engineering Leaders
Ship hardware faster — without adding another tool to fight.
Faster cycles, cross-functional alignment, and rollout without IT drama. The business case for CADchat, with customer proof.
For Suppliers & Vendors
Your customer invited you to a CADchat review.
No download, no account, no IT ticket. You’ll be in the model in 30 seconds — and your process IP stays yours.
