instant3Dhub relies on pulling only the data you need, precisely when you need it. Under the hood, the platform constructs a spatial index of your 3D data so it can selectively stream geometry, textures, or metadata based on the user’s current view or task. We build on well established RFC2616/HTTP1.1 and RFC2077/3D-Model standards. This allows solution builders to integrate additional data or service layers on the fly without additional registration, installation, or API dependencies. 

Unlike traditional systems that load entire assemblies upfront, this on-demand approach minimizes network overhead and shortens load times. Engineers working on complex assemblies - like a car body with millions of polygons - see instant results, because geometry beyond the immediate view isn’t fetched until needed.

Our default answer is: any data. If you want more granularity, check out our list of supported formats.

A note: While 3D data is the intellectual gem of most manufacturing companies, it becomes even more valuable when enriched with e.g. business data from your ERP. instant3Dhub is built to work with state-of-the-art web standards for data hyper-connectivity in mind.

At the heart of instant3Dhub’s solution is the concept of 3D Spaces - lightweight spatial containers that aggregate references to multiple data sources. Whether referencing CAD geometry, sensor inputs, or BOM metadata, each 3D Space manages transformations, materials, and user annotations in a coherent scene.

Critically, 3D Spaces are device-agnostic, so a desktop user, a tablet user, and an AR headset user can interact with the same scene simultaneously. 3D Spaces also handle persistency, so you can save your composition’s state (including any markups) and restore it later - or export it to integrate with an external process step. This architecture underpins real-time collaboration, bridging departmental silos in design, manufacturing, and service.

instant3Dhub’s automation paradigm transforms “input-sensitive” systems - where data must be fully loaded - to an “output-sensitive” model that streams only the most relevant parts.

This design leverages advanced load distribution across clients, servers, and edge components. For instance, a desktop PC might locally handle rendering tasks, whereas a lightweight tablet could offload more computations to the server.

This streaming approach imitates modern entertainment platforms - think “Netflix for CAD” - ensuring zero startup times and continuous updates. By enabling end-to-end automation, instant3Dhub eliminates the need for manual data conversions, file packaging, and re-checkouts that traditionally slow industrial workflows.

On the client side, instant3Dhub delivers “Any Device” compatibility via modular APIs, SDKs, and a set of template applications. Developers can embed 3D visualization into custom web-based or native apps, or spin up a ready-made app. Underneath, the same distributed architecture handles memory budgets, concurrency, and security checks - so each front-end can focus on its unique UI and business logic.

Whether your team is building an AR field-service tool on iOS, a VR training module in Unreal, or a simple web app for design reviews, instant3Dhub’s unified back-end frees you from duplicating data pipelines. This layered design preserves full data fidelity while letting developers pick their preferred front-end stack. The result: accelerated app development cycles, consistent 3D experiences across platforms, and smooth integration of 3D data into diverse enterprise workflows.

instant3Dhub’s core architecture is built on a cloud-native, containerized foundation that accelerates deployment and simplifies scaling. Each service runs as a microservice in its own container, enabling independent updates and fault isolation. This design allows you to easily spin up additional resources during peak loads and then ramp down when demand subsides, optimizing infrastructure costs.

Of course! Thanks to our 3D streaming approach, your data is always secure while being delivered reliably and instantly to your users.

• Your IP stays with you. Unlike traditional solutions, instant3Dhub never loads whole data files but caches data fragments.

• There is no information loss or need for costly and time-consuming data preparation and reduction processes.

• No more long loading times, the visualisation even of large 3D model structures is instant by streaming only the data the users are actually looking at.
