SpinFire Insight is a 3D and 2D CAD viewer that gives your entire organization a uniform way to view, interrogate, and translate CAD files. It’s the same SpinFire technology automotive manufacturers have trusted for more than 25 years, now available in a revolutionary all-access format.
COMMUNICATE
Boost productivity by giving teams instant access to the CAD data they need. With an intuitive interface available in more than 10 languages, SpinFire Insight enables stakeholders to leave feedback, change requests, and annotate on CAD files.
COLLABORATE
Provide teams with insight to avert problems, find solutions, and accelerate progress. With multi-CAD support, SpinFire Insight makes it easy to share CAD data across internal and external teams - whether you're at the office, at home, or on the road.
COMPREHEND
Enrich everyone’s understanding of your products and projects. SpinFire Insight transforms organizations by putting pictures to part numbers - giving managers, salespeople, marketers, and vendors the clarity they need to move faster and smarter.
Comprehensive Features
SpinFire Insight gives you and your team everything you need to view and interrogate assemblies, parts, and drawings in all major 3D and 2D CAD formats. Gain insight on an item’s volume, weight, surface area, and center of mass. Quickly calculate the sum of connected edges selected, or the area they define.
Exploded Assembly
Transform multiple or all parts of an assembly in a chosen uniformed pattern quickly with the Exploded Assembly feature
Section Cut
Slice through 3D models to reveal hidden internal geometry for clearer analysis and review.
Smart Dimensioning
Quickly generate accurate measurements with intuitive, context-aware dimensioning tools.
Markup
Add comments, annotations, and highlights directly on models for collaborative reviews.
Boundary Volume by Surface
Find the volume of a 3D model based on the select surfaces that bound that model or measure the volume of a void a model creates.
Minimum Distance
Measures the shortest distance between two sets of points or surfaces.
Minimum Thickness
Calculates the minimum thickness of a set of points or surfaces.
Tube Length
Automatically calculate tube and pipe lengths to simplify manufacturing and cost estimation.
Model Compare
Visually and numerically compare two CAD models to detect design changes and revisions.
Draft Angle Analysis
Evaluate draft angles to confirm manufacturability of molded or cast components.
Curvature Analysis
Inspect surface curvature to ensure proper design flow and highlight problem areas.
Wall Thickness Analysis
Analyze uniformity of wall thickness to improve durability and reduce defects.
SpinFire Insight supports all major 2D and 3D CAD formats.
These include CATIA V5, NX, Creo, SOLIDWORKS, Inventor, Solid Edge, STEP, JT, IGES, Parasolid, STL, 3D PDF and more. It enables fast, accurate viewing without requiring the original CAD application.
Until now, CAD viewers have been a means to provide non-core engineering workers with cost-effective access to CAD files - as opposed to purchasing expensive CAD licenses and working with multiple CAD formats. However, when other teams can also interact with CAD models, the entire enterprise benefits. Enter SpinFire Insight.
With a unique, enterprise-wide pricing and license structure, everyone in the organization can easily access and engage with CAD information.

"SpinFire Insight is the best in class software for CAD visualization, which allows you to open all sorts of extensions, all sorts of CAD data in a very fast way and it allows you to easily read the imported CAD data and to work with it."
José Valente – Manufacturing Engineering at Yazaki Europe
SpinFire Insight is format-neutral and supports a wide range of native and neutral CAD formats, including proprietary vendor formats. This ensures fast, accurate viewing and consistent interpretation of CAD data across systems and departments - without needing the original CAD application.
See the full list of compatible CAD formats on the SpinFire Insight supported formats page.
Using the Smart Dimensions tool in SpinFire Insight, you can automatically display an item's dimensions including:
Linear: Edge length, thickness, point to point, point to edge, surface to surface
Radial: Arc diameter, arc center, radius, distance between centerline, circle by three points
Tube: Length with centreline length and all bend points and export to csv
Yes. SpinFire Insight enables seamless model analysis. With powerful highlighting features, you can call out aspects such as:
Differences between similar models
Draft angles and projected areas
Wall thickness
Surface curvature
Because SpinFire Insight supports custom rules, you can build your own analyses, too.
For years, manufacturers have chosen SpinFire for its ease of use. SpinFire Insight extends the same level of intuitive design to your organization, reducing training time.
Traditional CAD viewers often present hurdles such as:
Per-seat pricing that restricts access to design data and license sharing that creates unnecessary administrative overhead.
Steep learning curves that make adoption difficult for non-engineers.
File translation delays that waste engineering time and increase error risk.
SpinFire Insight is designed to remove these barriers:
Unlimited licensing eliminates seat-by-seat justification and enables broader access.
A user-friendly interface requires little to no training, making it easy for anyone to adopt.
Standardization on a single tool reduces costs, simplifies support, and improves accuracy.
No. SpinFire Insight is a standalone CAD viewer and does not directly integrate with PLM, ERP, or MES systems. However, it’s widely adopted by enterprise teams as a format-neutral solution for seamless, company-wide access to 2D and 3D product data.
If your workflow requires direct CAD-to-PLM translation or backend data exchange, the SpinFire product portfolio also includes solutions for CAD-to-CAD and CAD-to-XR (AR/MR/VR). For more information, explore our PLM solutions.
Enterprise Visualization is the practice of making CAD data accessible to the entire organization, not just engineers. It enables users across departments to view, interrogate, and annotate 2D and 3D CAD models, improving collaboration, decision-making, and productivity.
Traditionally, CAD viewers were limited to engineering teams. Today, product data is valuable to many other teams like sales, marketing, procurement, quality control, executives, and more. By extending access to CAD data enterprise-wide, teams can work faster, make more informed decisions, and reduce bottlenecks.
Tech Soft 3D offers SpinFire Insight, an intuitive, powerful CAD visualization solution designed for organization-wide use. If you're interested in CAD visualization solutions for your enterprise, get in touch with our sales team. We'd be happy to help.
Enterprise Visualization is valuable in any CAD-intensive industry, but Automotive has led the way in adopting this model due to the scale, complexity, and speed of innovation required. However, manufacturing, aerospace, construction, and consumer products companies are all embracing Enterprise Visualization.
It can create value across all departments, including:
Sales: Collaborate with customers and annotate models.
Marketing: Create accurate 2D/3D product visuals.
Quality teams: Inspect dimensions and tolerances quickly.
Procurement: Confirm specs and reduce supplier confusion.
Executives: Review product details in meetings without needing CAD expertise.
CAD viewers aren't limited to large enterprises. Whether you’re a single site or a global enterprise, SpinFire Insight scales to meet your needs and budget. The flexible subscription model makes it easy for organizations of all sizes to adopt.
