Affordable, Scalable, Cloud Infrastructure for Steel Detailers built by Steel Detailers
The owners and developers behind Unite3D are steel detailers that have been using SDS2 software for over 20 years. We asked ourselves “how can we build a SDS2 cloud solution that will allow us to benefit from all of the flexibility that cloud infrastructure provides without giving up our autonomy or surrendering our licenses to 3rd parties?”. Our system was perfected over years of research and development to provide the 4K high-performance high-flexibility system that we have currently. Today we’re offering that same flexibility that we’ve grown to love to all detailers so that, as an industry, we can grow and thrive together. We believe detailers are at their best when they work together and it is in that spirit that we offer you all a scalable, affordable solution built to save you money while making sure that your users get all the performance they crave.
Benefits of Unite3D
Flexibility
Network licensing permits users to make use of a split licensing model. For instance, purchasing a modeling station and drafting station (2 users) vs 1 full station. With no training, you can be up and running on your virtual remote machine in a matter of minutes. Whether you need to access the model in a viewer, modeling station, drawing editor or a full station; you have total control over your licenses at all times!
This model reduces overall software costs while maintaining productivity.
Cost
With our system, you control the costs by turning off your server when you’re done working for the day or for the week. Other systems charge you for the whole month, whether you use your server for 720 hours or 30 minutes. With Unite3D, you only pay for the server time that you use.
Power
With Unite3D you’re not limited to cookie cutter machines with restricted power. You can have the machine you need for the work you’re doing today. What’s more, traditional cloud detailing services limit your power to one user.
With Unite3D you have access to a much greater reserve of power shared with your whole team. This method means that when you hit that process button you can expect better performance and all at a much lower cost. We call this the water tower model. Learn more about it in this video.
Our system is built on AWS technology, the same technology utilized by government agencies around the world with virtually no downtime and a system that is always kept up to date in the background without service interruptions.
Save money with flexible usage.
Unite 3D helps your company get into the cloud whether it’s for a day or a week. Scalable reliable cloud infrastructure with minimal start-up costs and no commitment. Your license stays yours.
For as little as $.25 per hour per user you can have the cloud infrastructure you need to handle the larger projects on the tighter schedules todays design build disasters demand.
Real-time collaboration anywhere.
With our cloud system, you can allow access for your customer, the design team, and anyone else that you need to collaborate with during the entire project life-cycle. It doesn’t matter if they are across town, across the country or on the other side of the world.
About Unite 3D
When our detailing company first launched, we could only afford a single license of SDS2 for the pair of us. For months, we would drive back and forth to each other's houses, trading the HASP back and forth to maximize its value. We knew there had to be a better way.
For more than 5 years we've tested and refined our unique solution. Utilizing Amazon's unmatched cloud infrastructure for reliable, lightning fast machines and HASP sharing software we now employ detailers around the country working seamlessly together on projects they could never manage on their own.
