3D assets are a type of content that is stored digitally. Just like videos, music, photos, documents, and other digital media, 3D content is typically stored in a centralized system so it can be accessed, managed, published, shared, and distributed, within an organization and outside of it. Such systems are known as digital asset management systems or DAM systems, for short.

3D files are unique as they comprise of multiple attributes for (and even separate files for) skeleton, materials, textures, colors, etc. They are also typically very large and require compression and conversation before they can be displayed on certain devices. A 3D asset management system allows you to manage the content of your 3D app or game and distribute it across multiple channels and devices.

With the right 3D asset management system, developers can store, manage, distribute, and update complex 3D assets and build apps and games that can be updated in real time across devices. An integrated solution for digital 3D asset management, helps developers manage all their 3D content, transform 3D models into usable assets, convert them from different formats, and share them within the team.

Not all asset management systems out there are built to handle the complexity of 3D assets. echo3D is a 3D asset management platform for developers that provides tools and cloud infrastructure to manage, deploy, and update 3D/AR/VR apps, games, and content. It offers a 3D-first content management system (CMS) and delivery network (CDN), asset compression and conversion tools, and a scalable BaaS infrastructure that enable developers to build a 3D/AR/VR app backend in minutes, and then manage, process & stream 3D content to their 3D/AR/VR app or game in real-time & across devices.

The echo3D cloud platform is specially built to handle, convert, and compress 3D models, videos, interactive content, and animations, while providing interaction analytics & usage metrics. It allows developers to deliver fresh 3D content instantly, with no redevelopment or redeployment needed.

Developers can move their 3D assets to the cloud, build smaller 3D/AR/VR apps that can be updated remotely, and stream new 3D content in real-time. By using echo3D, developers save time, money, and efforts on building, deploying, and updating your 3D app or game, and quickly go from development, to testing, and to production.

The cross-platform 3D asset management system supports any 3D/AR/VR client-side SDK for developers to choose to build their app, such as ARCore, ARKit, Vuforia, WebXR, AR.js, Oculus SDK, Unity-based SDKs, Microsoft HoloLens, MagicLeap, and more. Content creators with no technical knowledge can also use our platform and manage 3D content from anywhere.

echo3D serves over 30,000 developers using its 3D asset management system and SDKs to create real-time 3D experiences for gaming, entertainment, retail, healthcare, training, and more.
