CrownCAD Share

CrownCAD Share is a cloud-based function for sharing 3D models and design data. Users can generate a shareable link or QR code to distribute to relevant parties—whether for internal team collaboration, production reviews, client presentations, or sharing data for quotations. CrownCAD Share makes accessing information faster and more convenient.

Key Features of CrownCAD Share

Share 3D models via links	Share data via QR codes	Eliminate issues with sending large CAD files	Convenient for client presentations	Ideal for cross-functional collaboration	Supports cloud-based CAD workflows

In real-world workflows, CAD data often involves multiple stakeholders—ranging from design and manufacturing engineers to production teams, sales staff, and customers. Traditional file-sharing methods can lead to cumbersome processes, such as:

Creating the file → Exporting → Compressing → Emailing → Downloading → Opening → Sending a new version.

Frequent model revisions often result in a proliferation of file versions, leaving recipients unsure which file contains the latest data. CrownCAD Share transforms the workflow from "sending files" to "sharing data," allowing users to generate a link for the desired model and send it directly to the relevant parties.

Sharing a model is convenient and involves the following key steps:

1. Open the model you wish to share. Open the project or 3D model in CrownCAD. Before sharing, verify that it is the correct model or version intended for the recipient.

2. Select the Share command. Choose the Share function to generate a sharing link. The system will create the necessary access details for the model.

3. Copy the Share Link. Users can copy the generated link and distribute it via various channels such as Email, LINE, Microsoft Teams, Slack, chat applications, or presentation materials.

4. Use the QR Code. In addition to the link, users can utilize a QR Code for documents or promotional materials—for instance, by embedding the code directly into various files.

Quotation	Product Catalog	Technical Document	Presentation	Meeting Documents	Project Handover Documents

Clients or relevant stakeholders can scan the QR Code with a smartphone to access the shared information.

1. Sharing 3D Models with Customers

Sales staff or Sales Engineers can use CrownCAD Share to send 3D models to customers during product presentations.

Instead of sending large CAD files via email, you can generate a shareable link and send it directly to the customer.

Sales Engineer → CrownCAD Share → Share Link → Customer

This makes presenting 3D data faster and more convenient.

2. Sharing Models via QR Codes in Quotations

Companies can include a QR code for the 3D model in documents such as quotations or product specifications. Examples include:

Quotation

Product Details

Specification

Quotation → QR Code → 3D Model

Customers can scan the QR code with their smartphones to instantly view the relevant model data.

This approach enhances product presentation convenience and better links business documents with 3D data.

3. Sharing Work Between Design and Manufacturing

Once a Design Engineer completes a part design, the data may need to be sent to the manufacturing team for review.

CrownCAD Share makes it easier for engineers to share design data with relevant stakeholders.

Example Workflow:

Design → Share Model → Manufacturing → Review

This reduces the steps involved in transferring files back and forth between teams.

4. Sharing Models for Meetings and Presentations

During meetings with clients or internal teams, users can share a link or QR code for the 3D model, allowing all participants to access the same data.

Ideal for presentations such as:

Product Design	Machine Design	Mechanical Parts	Mold Design	Automation Equipment	Engineering Projects

Modern CAD workflows go beyond mere 3D modeling; they also encompass data management and sharing among stakeholders.

Cloud CAD systems shift the workflow from managing files on individual local machines to working with data directly in the cloud.

CrownCAD Share is an integral part of this workflow, facilitating easier design data sharing.

Instead of asking:

“Have you sent me the CAD file yet?” → “Just send me the share link.”

How do share links and QR codes benefit engineering tasks?

Using links and QR codes makes it easier to integrate 3D data into other operational processes.

For example:

3D Model → Share Link → Customer

or

Quotation → QR Code → 3D Model

or

Product Catalog → QR Code → Product Model

This transforms the 3D model from a file used solely by engineers into a tool for communication with customers and internal teams.
