What 3DEXCITE is
3DEXCITE Product Communicator creates product content from 3D data for sales, marketing, designers, agencies, and makers. Its xStudio app produces photorealistic renderings, while xHighlight creates interactive product illustrations and 360° views. Cloud rendering runs in a browser and is described as working on any device; Windows is also supported. xStudio jobs consume credits based on image size, resolution, and complexity, typically from a handful to 30 credits per rendering. The software integrates with CAD and PLM systems and can read engineering models such as CATIA and SOLIDWORKS directly. Described applications include showroom-quality automotive renderings and animations, plus retail and e-commerce configurators and AR experiences. Both subscriptions include dedicated online support and a 15-day money-back policy. Pricing is $984 a month on a quarterly subscription or $3,156 a year, excluding local VAT.
