Vertex Software

At Vertex Software, we believe 3D visualization is the premier communication medium for the future of human innovation. We strive every day to accelerate global innovation, discovery, and idea exchange. Our solutions drive customer satisfaction, grow market share, engage suppliers and partners, and energize employees. You know how painful it is to share massive 3D CAD files with anyone outside of engineering? Our cloud-based 3D visualization eliminates this problem by streaming context-aware pixels instead of part files. You no longer need expensive hardware to view these models or to kill productivity by tinkering with files just to collaborate or share 3D data with your customers, suppliers, or cross-functional colleagues. Think of us as the Netflix for CAD. We deliver exponential value from existing CAD and PLM investments by making personalized 3D experiences available to anyone, no matter what device they choose to use. HOW WE’RE DIFFERENT ZERO-INSTALL — We deliver a revolutionary zero-install, cloud-based approach to industrial 3D visualization NO FILES — We stream context-aware pixels, not part files, ensuring your IP is always under your control. DEVICE AGNOSTIC — We are ideal for broadly distributed 3D solutions for mobile and low-power devices - even with low connection speeds. COMBINE DATA WITH EASE — We make direct integration with manufacturing data systems easy. Eliminate cumbersome data translation workflows required for 3D solutions. MASSIVE MODELS — We enable fully interactive visualization of the largest 3D models that are otherwise impossible to view even on today’s most powerful computers. QUICK TIME-TO-VALUE — We provide turnkey, browser-based software and developer tools that allow you to easily deploy 3D-powered solutions within days.
