Engineering-grade 3D, in the browser

Beyond visualization,
into understanding.

Unravel3D is where 3D engineering models start talking. Import native CAD, run analysis, validate manufacturability, and check assemblies, all in a browser, with no installs.

Capabilities

An engineering workbench, not just a viewer

Most browser 3D tools stop at rendering. Unravel3D understands the geometry beneath the surface, and turns that into decisions you can ship.

Native CAD import

STEP, IGES, USD, GLB are read with OpenCASCADE so the original B-rep, face IDs, and assembly structure are preserved, not flattened.

Geometry insight

Wall thickness, stress concentration, curvature, visualized as per-face heatmaps that catch design risks before they hit prototyping.

Linear-static FEA

Tetrahedral meshing with gmsh, solved by CalculiX, animated displacement and stress fields in the same viewport.

DFM checks

Draft, undercut, overhang, and machining-access analysis flags manufacturability problems while the design is still cheap to change.

Assembly intelligence

Interference detection, exploded views, and disassembly sequencing built on exact boolean geometry, not bounding-box approximations.

True CAD round-trip

Export back to STEP / IGES carrying the original B-rep solid plus the analysis features you added. Downstream CAD opens a parametric model, not a triangle soup.

Showcase

What you actually see in the workbench

From CAD import through analysis to exportable insight, the journey happens in a single browser session.

Import & Inspect

CAD-native geometry, ready in seconds

Drop a STEP or IGES file. The model loads with its native B-rep, BREP face IDs intact, ready for interrogation, not collapsed into anonymous triangles.

  • STEP, IGES, USD, GLB, OBJ, STL all first-class
  • Per-face selection on the original CAD topology
  • Auto-sized reference axes, planes, and section tools
CAD model loaded with topology
Analyze

Engineering signal, not just a render

Run thickness, stress-risk, curvature, and full linear-static FEA, visualized as heatmaps and animated deformation overlays directly on the part you're holding in the viewport.

  • Per-BREP-face averaged metrics, no tessellation noise
  • FEA with CalculiX, materials & boundary conditions in the UI
  • Geodesic distance and assembly-clearance checks

Export

Insight that travels downstream

Export to STEP or IGES carrying the original solid plus the features you added: measurements, paths, validated regions. Receivers open a true CAD model with the engineering context baked in.

  • B-rep round-trip preserves the parametric solid
  • Analysis features bundled as STEP entities
  • Reports as HTML/PDF for stakeholders not on the tool
