From a user’s perspective, the simple use of XR-EASY, without previous knowledge or training is decisive.
Thanks to intuitive operation by means of hand interaction, the 3D models can be experienced like in real 1:1 and 360°. Alternatively, VR controllers can be used.
No matter whether on the factory floor, at the engineer’s desk, in a meeting room with co-workers and business partners, at the trade fair or during an on-site appointment of buyers and sellers.
The software license often pays for itself with the first use.
Anytime. Anywhere. Anyone.
XR-EASY features for assembly planning, design reviews & showrooms
If you don’t own VR hardware you can still host or join XR-EASY sessions in which other VR or desktop users can participate.
Desktop users appear as camera in the VR scene and move freely using the mouse and the WASD/Q/E keys.
Together with colleagues and business partners, critical design reviews and virtual assembly processes are possible quickly and everywhere.
For example, an engineer in Asia could join a VR session with a developer in Europe and his boss in America. All three can see each other (as an avatar) and talk about the optimal installation.
XR-EASY can be operated with your bare hands – instead of standard controllers, which also work.
VR users could teleport freely through the virtual space.
Viewpoints can be set up in advance to improve the user experience, especially for untrained people.
At one click, 3D CAD files can be converted to XR-EASY by anyone. This automatically creates a virtual twin in our *.xvr format from the source file. During a VR session and when exiting, the twin can be saved and thus all changes backed up (*_autosave.xvr).
The working tools provide the following functions:
- Grab
- Pinch
- Scale
- Color
- Visibility
- Duplicate
- Reset
- Undo
- Redo
Additional native file formats can be added
- CATIA V4
- CATIA V5
- CATIA V6 / 3DExperience
- CATIA Graphical Representation
- Creo
- Creo View
- IFC
- Inventor
- JT
- NX
- Parasolid
- PLMXML
- Revit
- Rhino/3dm
- SolidEdge
- SolidWorks
- STEP (AP203, AP214, AP242)
Please contact us to discuss your specific needs.
The supporting functions include:
- Measurement
- Cross Section
- Screenshot
- Reference
- Process Documentation
The Assembly Tree shows the model structure as a list of the available components of the respective VR session, divided into assemblies containing individual parts or different (loaded) objects (individual models).
With process documentation, all changes made with the grab function are documented in writing and saved.
When the process documentation function is active, each pickup and drop of a part/assembly with the grab function is documented. Immediately after deactivating the function, a folder with an HTML file is created in a directory of the XR-EASY folder.
The respective document contains video recordings as well as duration and distances of the successively executed actions and can be accessed on all common browsers.
With the Ergo Check module, work situations and assembly processes can be objectively examined and evaluated for their ergonomics to optimize the planned project.
The Ergo Check allows to put oneself in the position of affected workers and analyze all kind of activities. Grab and reach zones together with fields of view play an important role when it comes to safe and healthy ergonomics.
The settings fit any person. But moreover, you can equally learn about the perspective of smaller or larger people via the percentiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
XR-EASY is the most user-friendly Virtual Reality (VR) software for industrial engineering. The innovative technology for working with virtual prototypes is used along the entire development process. Particular attention is paid to planning errors that are difficult to identify without VR.
Our customers’ applications include work and assembly planning, ergonomics study, determination of assembly sequences, overall production and layout planning, special machinery and plant construction as well as technical purchasing and sales.
Overall, the development and planning phases are shortened. Elaborate mockups and real prototypes become superfluous. The bottom line is that companies save a lot of time and money.
XR-EASY is started and operated by users themselves, anywhere and at any time within a few minutes. So, anyone can automatically generate virtual prototypes from 3D CAD data at the push of a button. Immediately afterwards, with VR glasses and your bare hands (instead of annoying controllers, which you can however also use), you can work virtually at planned workstations, production lines or machines, or you present in a 360-degree all-round view.
Together with co-workers and business partners, critical design reviews and virtual assembly processes become possible quickly and anywhere. Ergonomics checks can also be carried out at a very early stage in order to assess the physical stress situation at the respective workplace.
XR-EASY supports all 3D users whose CAD software offers a suitable export file. The virtual possibilities depend on the structure of the 3D models and the number of polygons, rather than the file size. The performance of the VR hardware is also crucial.
XR-EASY includes a fully automatic CAD-to-VR converter—depending on the license model—for the 3D formats FBX, glTF 2.0/GLB, OBJ, and VRML/WRL; the standard exchange formats STEP (AP203, AP214, AP242) and JT; as well as native formats such as Catia (V4, V5+CGR, V6/3DX), Creo, Creo View, IFC, Inventor, NX, Parasolid, PLMXML, Revit, Rhino/3dm, SolidEdge, SolidWorks, and VDA.
Suitable VR headsets are widely available and already work with XR-EASY on existing standard Windows PCs. Depending on the application and 3D model, PCVR is required or recommended. VR-ready laptops and desktops are quite affordable today.
You can test the VR software extensively in advance. You can download the license-free BASIC Edition here for free and get started.
In the operational environment, you can also test your own models in VR. You can send us your 3D CAD models and contact details here.
If the file/s meet the requirements, we will send you a link to download the converted VR models within 24 hours on weekdays.
Professional interested parties can also arrange a 14-day test phase with a full license in order to be able to comprehensively test the PRO Edition independently.
The VR software is used by XR-EASY users worldwide with a wide variety of VR hardware. As a VR tool, this also works in very restrictive corporate IT environments. The benefit of the VR tool is already high at a single workstation that is not connected to a network.
Many users connect to the outside world via the Internet (company or guest WLAN) to collaborate with colleagues and business partners. An open CLOUD solution is used, for which IT ports may have to be activated. Unauthorized participation by third parties with the appropriate CAD model is in principle impossible.
If necessary, global companies can still book an on-premise CLOUD solution with the highest security standards across different areas and locations.
Setting up a VR tool requires only minimal IT knowledge. The installation instructions and video tutorials provided by the vendors are easy to understand.
XR-EASY users also have access to a detailed knowledge base. You can contact our team any time by submitting a support request.
In short: you can do it on your own, and we’ll support you along the way 😉
