Stop Treating 3D Models Like PDFs: Why 3D content needs a 3D-first DAM, not just a file locker.

Choosing the Best Digital Asset Management Platform (DAM) for 3D Content






NetX is for Images. echo3D is for Immersive.
Traditional Digital Asset Management systems store your 3D files. echo3D powers them. Stream, convert, compress, and view 3D content in real-time—things your current DAM can't do.
While Netx focuses on organizing and managing traditional 2D assets, echo3D is purpose-built to handle the complexity of 3D content. Unlike general DAMs that prioritize images, videos, and documents, echo3D provides a scalable 3D Digital Asset Management platform that centralizes, optimizes, and distributes 3D assets across teams, platforms, and customer touchpoints.
With echo3D, you get real-time 3D visualization, version control, automated optimization for web, mobile, and AR/VR, capabilities traditional DAMs like NetX weren’t designed to support.
Already using NetX for your 2D assets?
echo3D complements your current DAM setup seamlessly, letting you maintain NetX as your source of truth for 2D content, while leveraging echo3D as your dedicated 3D content infrastructure, so you get the best of both worlds without disrupting existing workflows.
The "File Storage" Trap Tools like NetX are fantastic for organizing JPEGs, PDFs, and MP4s. But when you upload a 3D model to a traditional DAM, it becomes a "black box."


Don't let your 3D assets gather dust in a 2D folder.
