Direct2AR Mobile App showing CAD model in Augmented Reality

From Design Desk to Real World, Instantly

Direct2AR simplifies placing your complex 3D CAD models into your physical environment using the power of augmented reality on standard mobile phones and tablets.

Upload your CAD files (like STEP, IGES, SolidWorks, Inventor) to the secure EXAR web portal. Our platform automatically optimizes them for mobile performance. Then, simply open the Direct2AR app on your iOS or Android device, log in, and view your models overlaid onto your physical environment at 1:1 scale. Perform basic interactions like hide/show components, view as 3D model, and access linked documents or instructions contextually.
