FROM IDEA TO OPENING

Plan exhibitions.
Digitally. Precisely.

Exhibitions take shape long before a single work is moved. cura3D gives this process a place: a true-to-scale 3D model of your rooms where you can place exhibits, test concepts, and make decisions without effort and without risk.

1. Your space.
Digitally true to scale.

Not every planning process starts with the same data. That is why we create your spaces from different sources: floor plans, LiDAR scans, photogrammetric capture, or existing 3D data. What matters is the result: a precise virtual room that realistically represents your exhibition and enables reliable decisions.

2. Import exhibits with ease.

cura3D brings a wide range of formats into the virtual planning space: 2D files, videos, 3D models, and PNG cut-outs as pseudo-3D objects. Whether from a database, Excel lists, or individual imports, every work appears at its original scale and can be placed with centimeter precision.

3. Share and review concepts

With wall colors, temporary architecture, lighting, frames, and passepartouts, you get a detailed sense of your exhibition’s spatial impact, entirely digitally, before a decision has to be made in reality. Share your plans with your colleagues online.

4. Ready for installation.

At the end of the planning process, you have a print-ready hanging plan: true-to-scale wall elevations as PDFs, artwork lists with metadata, and all installation details needed by art handlers. Fewer queries, no misunderstandings.

Key Features at a Glance.

cura3D connects planning, visualization, management, and export in one continuous workflow. This creates exhibition plans and precise documents for installation, documentation, and mediation.
