How Manufacturers are Expanding Collaboration with Guest Users in Campfire

How Manufacturers are Expanding Collaboration with Guest Users in Campfire

Nov 7, 2025

One of the hardest parts of 3D collaboration isn’t the technology — it’s access.

You want to involve more people in design reviews, remote training sessions, or customer walkthroughs. But traditional licensing models get in the way. You end up juggling logins, borrowing seats, or paying for licenses that sit idle most of the time.

We've heard from countless teams how these barriers make it incredibly difficult to expand collaboration.

To solve this, we introduced usage-based Guest access for Enterprise customers in October 2025.

With this flexible approach, everyone you need to collaborate with can have a Campfire account — and you only pay for the days they actually use it.

Invite anyone, anytime

Invite teammates, suppliers, or customers to review a model, leave comments, or present their feedback.

Guest accounts are free to create, and their first day in Campfire is always free. After that, you’ll simply use one Guest Day for each day a Guest is active.

Admins can track usage directly in the Campfire Admin Portal, where you can see how many Guest Days your organization has, how many have been used, and by whom.

Since there’s no limit to how many Guests your organization can have, it's easy to loop people in and get the right feedback, at the right time.

Flexible options for every collaborator

Not everyone needs the same level of access, so you have control over what Guests can do.

Admins set the maximum permissions available for each Guest user, assigning either the viewer or commenter role. There’s also an option to allow Guests to become presenter when needed.

Permissions can be viewed or changed anytime in the Admin Portal, so access management stays simple and transparent.

Real-world examples

Here's how manufacturing teams are using Guest accounts:

  • Supplier Collaboration — Invite vendors to review assemblies and leave comments right on the 3D model, no need to share a STEP or CAD file directly.

  • Technical Training — Give trainees the power to explore virtual models and take them apart, whether their training lasts a few weeks or a single day.

  • Customer Feedback — Share concepts with customers for validation, without giving them full access to your design files.

Collaboration without compromise

Campfire’s usage-based pricing is designed for how modern manufacturing teams actually work — across departments, time zones, and organizations.

It makes 3D collaboration practical at scale, without ballooning costs or complexity. No license management headaches. No limits on who can join.

Just better collaboration, across the entire product lifecycle.
