Viewing
3D data offers potential uses that extend well beyond engineering. The viewing function gives users access to geometrical information even if they do not know how to use CAD systems. ECTR collects the required data, processes it and creates various neutral formats. These are available to users as viewing files in the SAP GUI and can be measured and viewed as sections. As a result, even the most complex 3D models can be handled intuitively and examined in detail.
An ideal integration platform for SAP, ECTR optimally integrates various viewing methods. The potential 3D data offers can therefore be used as an integral tool within your company, which will increase your business’ efficiency and security sustainably.
