CCE, a leading provider of advanced CAD interoperability technology, announced major updates to its flagship real-time 3D Collaboration software, EnSuite-Cloud ReVue, that will now allow users to share non-CAD data via screen-sharing in the same collaboration session as the 3D CAD data.
Leveraging its recently announced support for multiple documents, EnSuite-Cloud ReVue truly provides a natural collaboration experience with this latest product enhancement. This allows for a much richer collaboration experience and makes EnSuite-Cloud ReVue the perfect alternative to Zoom and other screen-sharing apps, especially for engineering design reviews.
“The past 18 months have forced companies to rethink how they work with their team and suppliers. Companies have been forced to adopt best-in-class solutions to assist remote teams collaborate and exchange ideas effectively. Although products like Zoom have become a household name this past year, and are perfectly suitable for simple collaboration using documents, spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations, for engineering design reviews using a mix of 3D CAD data and supporting engineering documents, they are severely deficient. That created a big need in the marketplace for a solution focused exclusively on giving users the ability to discuss 3D data and supporting engineering documentation in real-time with their team or suppliers. We are happy to say that EnSuite-Cloud ReVue has been very successful in filling that void as a lot of our users continue to migrate from Zoom to our product for engineering collaboration,” said Vinay Wagle, CCE’s V.P. of Sales & Marketing.
EnSuite-Cloud ReVue uses secure peer-to-peer connections between participants in the collaboration session. Hosts and reviewers do not have to store their proprietary data in any cloud server. At no point during, or at the end of the session, can participants download and save any data used in the collaboration.
Some of the key benefits of using EnSuite-Cloud ReVue for engineering design reviews include:
- No software installationor browser extensions required
- Integrated conference call facility
- Real-timecollaboration using 3D multi-CAD* data – parts & assemblies. No CAD licenses required!
- Support for multiple documents in the same collaboration session
- Screen-sharing option for non-CAD documents for richercollaboration
- High-quality 3D renderingwith zero loss of fidelity of viewable data
- Natural collaboration experiencewithout any overhead for data or session preparation
- Independent controlof collaboration session without compromising intellectual property
- Ultra-low latencyallowing for excellent response/refresh rates
- Low bandwidth usageallowing for easy sharing of large 3D CAD models

Since its general availability earlier this year, EnSuite-Cloud ReVue has received rave reviews from leading industry analysts in publications like Lifecycle Insights, Engineering.com, MCADCafe, Digital Engineering among others.
“EnSuite-Cloud ReVue empowers everyone by democratizing high quality 3D CAD viewing and collaboration technology regardless of their location. All they need is an internet connection and a browser. EnSuite-Cloud ReVue provides a much superior and natural user experience for engineering collaboration than typical screen-sharing apps. With this latest screen-sharing update where users can seamlessly work with CAD and non-CAD documents in the same collaboration session, we are confident that we will continue to see users increasingly adopting EnSuite-Cloud ReVue as their go-to solution for engineering design reviews over solutions like Zoom,” added Vinay.
EnSuite-Cloud ReVue can be used for conducting engineering design reviews directly in the browser or access it from an active CAD session using ReVue LiveLink. ReVue LiveLink is available for major formats like SOLIDWORKS, Inventor, Solid Edge, SketchUp, 3D Max, Revit among others and is particularly useful for design reviews (conceptual design or engineering changes) where the CAD model needs to be edited and the results updated in real-time with participants in the collaboration session.
