Lower production cost
Content is generated from existing engineering data instead of being modelled again.
Anipart · From CAD to aftermarketFrom CAD
From CAD
to aftermarket.
Engineering already has the data. Anipart puts your CAD, PDM and PLM data to work in spare parts catalogs, service instructions and training, without rebuilding the product by hand.
Runs in the cloud, on prem or offline.
The business caseEngineering data
Engineering data
that keeps paying.
Rebuilding the product for the aftermarket is slow and expensive. Anipart reuses what engineering has already built.
Always up to date
When the product changes in PLM, the aftermarket material follows.
Ready at launch
Aftermarket content can be ready when the product launches, not months later.
How Anipart helpsFrom CAD to aftermarket:
From CAD to aftermarket:
let the product data
do the heavy lifting.
Automatic structureThe product tree
The product tree
becomes the structure.
Anipart reads the assembly structure from CAD and turns it into navigable chapters, from the complete product down to individual components.
- Chapters created from the assembly structure
- Navigation from product to component
- No manual restructuring
Connected dataInformation linked
Information linked
to every component.
Imported product data, such as part numbers, descriptions and metadata, is connected to the right components automatically.
- Part numbers and metadata matched to geometry
- Documents and media attached per component
- One source of truth
Exploded viewsExploded views
Exploded views
without drawing them.
Anipart generates exploded views from the geometry, numbered and linked to the parts list, ready to adjust where needed.
- Generated from geometry
- Numbered and linked to parts
- Adjustable in Studio
Built to changeProduct changes,
Product changes,
handled visually.
When parts are replaced, a visual matching tool lets new objects take over the properties of the old ones. Animations and links stay intact.
- Visual matching of replaced parts
- Animations and links kept
- Faster revisions

How it worksFrom CAD file
From CAD file
to published content.
We do not rebuild your product by hand. Geometry, structure and part data come from your PDM and PLM systems, and the content is generated from the same data. That keeps the cost down and the material up to date.
CAD, PDM, PLM
Geometry, structure and part numbers, straight from the systems you already use.
Real-time 3D
Models are optimised for the web and exploded views are generated from the geometry.
Aftermarket content
Parts lists, procedures and training are built in Anipart Studio on the same model.
Live aftermarket
Parts, service and training in the browser, on any device. When engineering changes, everything follows.

Getting startedWhat you need
What you need
to get started.
CAD is the best starting point. Existing 3D files and product data can also be assessed during an initial analysis.
Geometry
CAD assemblies or existing 3D files
Product data
BOM, part numbers and metadata
Content
Existing manuals, images, films and documents
Frequently asked questionsFrom CAD
From CAD
to Anipart
Common questions about files, data and automation.
Which CAD formats are supported?
Anipart works with common CAD and 3D formats. We confirm the best route for your files during the initial analysis.
How is confidential engineering data handled?
Your CAD data stays under your control. Anipart only needs the geometry and structure required for aftermarket use, and models can be simplified or stripped of internal detail before import. Content can be hosted on your own infrastructure, and access to each product is controlled per user, group and content package in Anipart Dashboard.
Does Anipart work offline or on premise?
Yes. Anipart runs in the browser, but it does not depend on the internet. You can run it in the cloud, on premise on your own servers, or offline, for example in a workshop, on board a vessel or at a customer site without a connection. Your product data can stay inside your own environment.
Do we need to simplify our CAD models?
Usually not. Models are optimised for real-time use during import. We review your files in the initial analysis and advise if any preparation is needed.
How are product revisions handled?
Changed parts can be matched visually to the ones they replace, so structure, links and animations carry over to the new revision.
How much is created automatically?
Structure, component links and exploded views are generated from the geometry and product data. Procedures and animations are then added in Studio.
How much does automation from CAD save?
It depends on how much aftermarket content you produce and how often the product changes. The logic is simple: every model that does not have to be rebuilt by hand, and every update that follows automatically, lowers the cost. In a demo we go through your numbers.
