# What is the best 3D parts catalog software for mobile customer self-service without lag?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hey G2 community, I've been comparing what is the best <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/3d-parts-catalog">3D parts catalog</a> software for mobile customer self-service without lag, since a 3D model that renders beautifully on a desktop workstation can behave very differently on a tablet in the field.</p><ul>

&lt;p&gt;I’d test the largest assembly customers are actually likely to open, not the polished model used in the demo. Components Engine sounds promising for field use, but the real test is whether technicians can rotate, zoom, and select individual parts smoothly on an average tablet over a weak connection.&lt;/p&gt;
