TechWell Inc. (Headquarters: Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture; Operations Manager: Michiyo Yoshikawa) will launch its 3D web catalog SaaS for the manufacturing industry, "KatachiView" (https://katachiview.com), on July 2, 2026 (Thu).

KatachiView is a service that automatically generates and distributes lightweight 3D viewers (GLB) embeddable on your company's product pages simply by uploading CAD/STEP/STL files. By pasting the issued iframe code into your existing product page, visitors can view products by "rotating, zooming, and checking dimensions." No specialized tools or outsourcing of 3D production are required. The entire process from application to payment is completed online, and you can start with a one-month free trial (no credit card registration required).

Uploaded CAD becomes 3D that can be rotated and measured on product pages.

Background: Photos and drawings alone fail to convey "the shape itself."

Product introductions in manufacturing (cutting tools, jigs, measuring instruments, valves, metal processed parts, etc.) primarily rely on photos, PDFs, and 2D drawings. However, for complex shapes like tools and jigs, static images make it difficult to convey three-dimensionality, the back, depth, and details, leading to shallow understanding before inquiries and time spent on aligning prerequisites during sales negotiations. Furthermore, it is difficult to grasp "which products are of interest."

On the other hand, realizing 3D display on the web requires knowledge and cost for specialized tools and 3D data conversion/optimization, making it inaccessible for small and medium-sized manufacturers. KatachiView overcomes this "3D barrier" through simple uploads and automatic conversion.

Value Provided by KatachiView: Product pages become "dynamic sales materials."

By embedding a 3D viewer into your company's website product pages, you can achieve the following values:

1. Improved Product Understanding — Rotate and zoom on the product page. Users can understand the three-dimensional shape on the spot, which cannot be conveyed by drawings or photos.

2. Enhanced Understanding Before Sales Negotiations — Since shapes can be understood before inquiries, prerequisite alignment during sales negotiations is reduced, lowering the sales team's explanation burden.

3. Product Page Improvement — Increase dwell time and comprehension, making product pages function as "dynamic sales materials" on the web.

4. Visualization of Interest Level — Record viewing counts, viewing times, and operation counts per product. You can see which products are being viewed.

5. Deployment to Distributor/Overseas Pages — The same embed code can be used for distributor-specific pages or English/overseas product pages.

6. Direct Installation on Existing Pages — Simply paste the iframe. You can implement it without redesigning your current product pages or e-commerce site.

Compare different model numbers and sizes side-by-side.

Main Features

・Automatic 3D Generation with Simple Upload: Upload STEP/STL files, and they are automatically converted into lightweight 3D viewers (GLB) optimized for web display.

・Rotatable and Measurable Viewer: Rotate by dragging, zoom by scrolling/pinching. Supports display of external dimensions (width, depth, height), wireframe display, automatic rotation, and full-screen display.

・Adjustable Appearance to Match Product Pages: You can set background colors, accent colors, display height, etc., to blend with the embedded site.

・Side-by-Side Comparison of Two Products: Create comparison pages where products of different model numbers or sizes can be viewed side-by-side on one page (available with 5-product and 10-product plans).

・English Display Option: UI, product names, and contact information can be displayed in English, allowing direct embedding in overseas product pages.

・Web-Based Implementation: The entire process from application to payment is completed online, with no need for sales consultations.

Security: Safely display only the shapes you want to show.

・Only "display models" are distributed: The original uploaded CAD (STEP/STL) is used only for conversion and is automatically deleted after conversion by default. Only the lightweight display 3D (GLB) is distributed, and the original design data is not disclosed.

・Control Display Destinations: Viewers are displayed only on registered domains. 3D data URLs do not use sequential numbers and are difficult to guess, preventing unauthorized embedding and extraction.

・Publicize or Delete at Your Discretion: Users choose what to publish, and deleting a product also deletes the converted data.

Please note that due to the nature of displaying models on screen, we cannot guarantee complete prevention of acquired displayed shapes. We recommend not including highly confidential shapes in the public display.

Pricing Plans (All prices exclude tax)

・1-Product Plan: 1 product displayed / ¥9,800 per month / ¥98,000 per year

・Free Trial: 1 month. You can try registering 1 product, uploading, and checking the 3D conversion results without credit card registration. Plan contracts can be selected from the management screen during or after the trial.

・Unlimited monthly display views. Monthly conversion counts are set according to the plan.

・English Display Option: Plan-specific pricing (¥3,000-¥25,000 per month, excluding tax) matching the main plan. Managed on the same contract and payment cycle as the main plan.

・Payment is by credit card (Stripe). Invoices, bank transfers, and individual quotes are not supported.

Recommended for Manufacturing Companies Such As:

Manufacturing companies handling products where three-dimensional shapes are difficult to convey through photos or drawings, such as cutting tools / jig manufacturers / measuring instruments / valves and nozzles / metal processed parts. Suitable for companies that want to enable "rotatable confirmation" of shapes on their own website product pages.
