I managed to create and import a .u3d file using the as I just learned now obsolete movie15 package using the dokumentation (http://mirror.unl.edu/ctan/macros/latex/contrib/movie15/doc/movie15.pdf) and this helpful page (http://rainnic.altervista.org/en/content/embed-3ds-pdf-latex-u3d?language_content_entity=en).

He managed to get a .png shown in the pdf for pdf viewers, which can not display the 3d content. I want to use this approach for the printed version of my thesis and in addition I want to display it as it would be a figure with the same look as the others with a caption. I already searched for a solution and tried several things, but didn´t came up with a satisfying solution. Could you provide one? :-)

Edit: To answer the comment: I don't know where to put that commands, I was looking for a way to produce something like the following pseudo-code (obviously it is not working like this)

text={\begin{figure}
      \includegraphics[scale=1.0]{dissabbiatore.png}\caption{Caption of the figure}\label{fig:3d}
      \end{figure}},

Here is the MWE (How to insert it easily without hitting the spacebar on every line?):

    \documentclass[a4paper]{scrartcl}
    \usepackage{rotating}
    \usepackage{natbib}
    \usepackage[3D]{movie15}
    \usepackage{hyperref}
    \usepackage[UKenglish]{babel}

    Here is the original version from the \href{http://rainnic.altervista.org/en/content/embed-3ds-pdf-latex-u3d?language_content_entity=en}{tutorial}.

    \includemovie[poster,
          toolbar,
          label=pt,
          text={\includegraphics[scale=1.0]{dissabbiatore.png}},
          3Droo=6.896200246789337,

          3Droll=-75.5946486014902,
          3Dlights=Hard,
          3Drender=SolidOutline]
          {\linewidth}{\linewidth}{dissabbiatore_meshlab.u3d}\\
          A 3D, schematic model of a horizontal grit chamber. If the Figure does not appear interactive, please enable this function and click on it or use a recent version of \href{http://get.adobe.com/reader}{Adobe Reader}. 

          I already tried the package caption and the command captionof{figure}{Caption of the figure} resulting in an error and was not able to use the figure environment cause its a floating environment. My figures looks like this:

    \begin{figure}
        \centering
        \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{dissabbiatore.png}
        \caption{Caption of the figure}
        \label{fig:label}
    \end{figure}

    if i understand correctly, you might consider using an \fbox containing a zero-width \vrule followed by an \hspace of the desired width. (start with \noindent to make sure they're on the same logical line.) – barbara beeton Apr 14 '17 at 16:34

The solution for my question could be an minipage with a \captionof from the caption package. Also see this question: caption under minipage

The following code works for me for now:

\documentclass[a4paper]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{natbib}
\usepackage[3D]{movie15}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[UKenglish]{babel}
\usepackage{caption}

      {\linewidth}{\linewidth}{dissabbiatore_meshlab.u3d}
\captionof{figure}{Caption of the figure}
\label{fig:3d}
\end{minipage}
