The most powerful 3D graphics engine for 3d CAD on the Web
The Next-generation oF 3D and XR web apps
ARE POWERED BY ZEA ENGINE

View larger models
46 vs. 4 FPS
The Zea Engine renders over 10 times more frames per second than the leading open-source WebGL graphics engine on a scene with 40,000 unique parts.

Load them Faster
20 MB vs. 260 MB
Our web-friendly file format gets 10x better compression when compared to the most common 3D file format of the same model.

Dr. Gary Thompson, Director of Industry Innovation at CNA
"Working with Zea, we were able to build a web application that allowed our research team to collaboratively explore a point-cloud scan of an underground mine in real-time and over the web."
Blake Courter, CTO at nTopology
"Working with Zea, we were able to give users real-time visual feedback and allow parametric editing of our implicit models using CodeReps on the web."
Damian Rafferty, Managing Director at Pulse PLM
"The first thing I did was throw the biggest CAD model I had at Zea. I switched to Zea when they showed they could render it at 60 FPS in the browser."
Philippe Buffet, Head of Manufacturing activity at 4DConcept
"Working with Zea, we were able to design a solution to add interactive web-based 3D work instructions using our existing ADAM S1000D publication workflow."
James Coleman, Vice President of Innovation, R&D at Zahner
"Working with Zea, we built a tool to collaboratively review survey data gathered from a total station against the 3D model, in real-time, on all devices, and in the browser!"
Borys Dubenko, CEO at Jazzros
“Through our partnership, we believe we are providing a unique offering and added-value for our clients. With the Zea Engine, we are able to accelerate solving visualization problems that off-the-shelf solutions cannot and/or avoid costly situations where we have to develop standard functions from scratch”

Challenge
Zahner provides unrivaled expertise and experience in architectural metals and engineering. As projects increase in complexity, a collaboration between design and construction becomes critical to success. Then, as a project moves from the office to the job site, the design and coordination tools diminish in sophistication and accessibility. The significant difficulty reflected in the divergence is between 3D plans in the office and the 2D plans on the construction site.
Solution
In collaboration with Zahner, we created SurveyLink, a solution that eliminates lengthy review-revise loops between the office and job site during the survey. In the process, we identified critical points with the design engineering team. After, we used cloud storage and collaborative CAD/BIM visualizations in web applications. These tools allow teams in the offices and on the job site to access the same 3D visualization on any device in real-time.
Result
The solution provides instant analysis of survey points through real-time collaboration between the field team installing the prefabricated elements and the responsible engineers/project managers. The results are faster turnaround, lower construction costs, better communication, increased quality, and more.
