Streamlining 3D Asset Management: The Power of echo3D's Processing Pipeline

When you upload a 3D asset to echo3D's digital asset management (DAM) platform, a powerful suite of automated algorithms comes into play, optimizing your 3D models and enhancing discoverability. echo3D’s processing pipeline doesn’t just store your assets; it actively enhances them, making it easier to manage, share, and use assets across different projects and teams. Here’s a closer look at how echo3D’s processing works and how enterprise clients can further customize these capabilities.

Automated compression, thumbnails, and AI tagging on upload

Upon uploading a 3D model, echo3D immediately applies several key processing steps:

1. 3D Model Compression: echo3D’s proprietary 3D compression algorithms kick in to reduce the file size without sacrificing quality. This compression makes it easier to store, share, and work with 3D models across different devices and networks, making large 3D files accessible and interactive even in browser-based applications.

2. Thumbnail Creation: To provide a quick visual reference, echo3D generates a thumbnail of each 3D asset. This thumbnail creation process allows users to visually browse their library, helping teams quickly identify and organize their models.

3. AI-Powered Tagging: echo3D’s AI algorithms analyze the 3D model to create meaningful metadata tags. These AI-generated tags are added automatically, enhancing searchability and indexing. This metadata can include details about the model’s features, dimensions, and material characteristics, helping users to quickly locate and retrieve assets based on specific criteria.

Enhanced functionality during download and export

When it’s time to download or export a 3D model from echo3D, the platform applies additional optimizations:

• Export Compression: echo3D compresses the model during the download or export process, ensuring that the file is optimized for its destination format. This can be especially useful when moving models to different environments or applications where file size and compatibility matter.

• Metadata Packaging: The AI-generated metadata, created during upload, is included with the exported file, making it easy for other users or software to interpret the asset’s details. This metadata enhances compatibility and usability across platforms, supporting smoother integrations and workflows.

Enterprise customization for on-premise deployments

For enterprise clients with on-premise deployment, echo3D’s processing pipeline offers even greater flexibility. Enterprises can extend the built-in processing pipeline by adding their own custom scripts, AI models, and integrations. Here are a few ways enterprises can tailor the echo3D platform to meet specific needs:

• Custom AI Models and Tagging: Enterprises can incorporate proprietary AI models for tagging or classification, enabling tagging based on unique business requirements or industry-specific attributes.

• Scripted Workflows: Custom scripts can be configured to run automatically on upload or export, enabling organizations to apply additional processing steps such as model validation, material adjustments, or even security checks.

• Seamless Integration with Other Software: Enterprise clients can integrate echo3D with other enterprise software solutions, such as ERP or PLM systems, so that 3D models flow seamlessly across platforms. Integrating echo3D with these tools ensures that all relevant data is synchronized across the organization.

With these features, echo3D empowers enterprises to leverage a robust and flexible 3D asset management system that not only secures assets but also optimizes and customizes them to fit unique organizational needs. From small teams to enterprise-level organizations, echo3D’s digital asset management platform is designed to make managing 3D models easier, faster, and more effective.
