3D communications, simplified.
Get more and do more with this 3D CAD add-on.

For advanced 3D CAD visualization authoring, bring XVL Studio 3D CAD Corel Edition to your visual communication workflow. This powerful add-on to CorelDRAW® Technical Suite exceeds traditional 3D file support. It transforms complex 3D CAD parts and assemblies into clear illustrations, and provides critical functionality and benefits not offered with the basic XVL Studio software.

Why choose XVL Studio 3D CAD Corel Edition?

Why choose XVL Studio 3D CAD Corel Edition?
  1. Advanced

    Leverage your 3D CAD data with industry-standard support, sharing and output. Utilize the extensive options for compatibility including native 3D assembly formats, (such as CATIA®, Inventor®, Creo®, SolidWorks®, NX™, Solid Edge®, software) and 3D CAD exchange file formats (such as IGES, STEP, JT, 3D PDF), and more.

  2. Powerful

    Create more efficient assembly, disassembly, spare parts, or manufacturing BOMs with the extensive feature set in XVL Studio 3D CAD. Generate illustrated assembly and maintenance instructions leveraging 3D Engineering data or generate step-by-step instructions as process animations using a full set of 3D animation tools.

  3. Automated

    Apply changes instantly with the automated 3D CAD to illustration update functionality. Modifications made to the 3D CAD source files will be applied during the update process. With the seamless Auto Detection and Update functionality, you can ensure any changes originating from an engineering design will be implemented.

  4. 3D

    Author, share or output 3D visualizations in a variety of formats. Create high-resolution and photo-realistic shaded renderings from 3D output projects and then share in the preferred 3D file format, including IGES, STL, U3D, XVL and VRML, or publish to 3D PDF.
