Watch the product film

WeAre is software for collaborative 3D CAD model discussions in mechanical and plant engineering. Teams use it for product presentations, project coordination and CAD design reviews – on desktop and optionally in virtual reality.

01

Prepare your model

The integrated conversion engine prepares your CAD files for WeAre. We review the format and model scope for your use case.

02

Discuss it together

Sales, project teams and customers view the same 3D model. Desktop and VR users can take part together.

03

Use it in daily work

Your team receives personal onboarding and support. We clarify access, hardware and data processing before your first session.

Meet the team

CAD & VR.
Your questions.

How can several people review a CAD model together?

WeAre brings teams into a shared virtual space around the same prepared 3D model. Engineering, project managers and customers can examine details from their own viewpoints and discuss open questions directly in the model. See a CAD design review at SMS group.

Can desktop and VR users join the same session?

Yes. Desktop participants can join the same session as people using VR headsets. Not everyone needs a headset. Desktop users move through the model, while VR adds an immersive spatial perspective.

Which CAD formats does WeAre support?

The WeAre knowledge base lists more than 60 file formats, including formats from CATIA, SolidWorks, AutoCAD and Rhino3D. Support depends on your specific file format and version, which we check with you before use. CAD format documentation (German).

How much preparation do our CAD files need?

The integrated conversion engine prepares your CAD files for WeAre. You upload them through the dashboard; you do not need to build a dedicated VR scene to get started. Our team provides personal help with file formats, level of detail and conversion.

What do we need to get started?

You do not need your own CAD files or a VR headset for the first demo. Before using WeAre with your team, we clarify access, CAD data and computer requirements. VR additionally requires compatible hardware. Check system requirements (German).

How does WeAre differ from screen sharing in Teams?

Screen sharing shows everyone one person's screen. In WeAre, participants navigate the shared 3D model themselves. This lets them discuss assembly, accessibility or plant layouts from different viewpoints. Explore a virtual plant walkthrough.

Do our customers need CAD expertise?

No. CAD expertise is not required. Your customers can view the prepared 3D model together with you. See how virtual machinery presentations support sales.

Does it work with large plants too?

WeAre is used in machinery and plant engineering. We assess model size and level of detail using your data during the pilot.

What happens in the demo?

15 minutes with Christian, live in the model. Ask your questions and discuss your use case. No CAD upload or VR headset needed beforehand. No obligation.

How do we address privacy and IT security?

Together with your IT team, before you start. We clarify access, data processing and internal requirements, and provide documentation for review.
