About Pulse PLM
Pulse PLM is a comprehensive manufacturing software platform used by organisations of all sizes around the world.
Founded in 2000, the product supports the full product lifecycle, from design through manufacturing, quality, and service.
Built with integrated modules for PDM, PLM, MRP, MES, QMS, and CRM, Pulse is designed to unify engineering, operations, and shop-floor workflows under a single system of record.
Eyeshot has been a core part of our 3D visualisation stack for over 15 years, enabling powerful, CAD-independent model interaction directly inside our PLM platform.

Challenge
Pulse PLM needed robust 3D visualisation capabilities that could:
- Display CAD models from multiple native applications
- Provide fast loading and interaction with large assemblies
- Deliver measurement, inspection, and model interaction without requiring native CAD tools
- Run consistently across a range of customer environments
We required a 3D engine that could scale with the product over many years and support both engineering and shop-floor workflows.
Solution
We have used Eyeshot for over 15 years as the core 3D visualisation engine in Pulse PLM.
Eyeshot enables:
- High-performance 3D rendering of multi-CAD models after translation into a lightweight format optimised for fast loading and scalable interaction
- Interactive features such as selection, highlighting, visibility control, sectioning, and measurement
- Efficient navigation of large assemblies across desktop and thinner client environments
Eyeshot’s flexible API and performance capabilities have allowed us to embed rich, interactive 3D directly into our platform not just as a viewer, but as an integral part of our user experience.
Results
With Eyeshot integrated into Pulse PLM, we have realised:
- Over 15 years of continuity with a mature 3D visualisation framework
- Reduced reliance on native CAD installations for visual access to models
- Consistent and scalable performance when working with complex assemblies
- Faster review and interaction for engineering and non-engineering users
- A unified 3D experience embedded directly into our product without external dependencies
