An intuitive 3D CAD to illustration software offering advanced animation tools allowing you to output and share visualizations in 3D and 2D. It also supports several 3D assembly formats and 3D CAD exchange file formats (see full list).
Contact sales Download trialFor 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Learn how these tools will save on design time and accelerate your workflow with added precision.
Expand your 3D visualization capabilities with XVL Studio options that now can be added to XVL Studio 3D CAD Corel Edition. Publish interactive 3D work instructions in 3D PDF format with the advanced “Process PDF Template” option or add wires, cables, harnesses, and connectors in 3D with the accurate “Electrical Routing” option.
* XVL Studio options can be licensed separately for using additional functionality in XVL Studio 3D CAD Corel Edition. For more information, please contact a Corel Sales representative.
