3D PDF FOR 3DEXPERIENCE®PRODUCE INTELLIGENT, ACCESSIBLE 3D PDFS FROM CAD MODELS AND PRODUCT DATA IN THE 3DEXPERIENCE ENVIRONMENT

• Create, view and interact with 3D PDFs• View, annotate and measure using the

free Adobe Reader®

• Automate the production of 3D PDFs as part of a workflow or business process

• Create high-quality interactive images for marketing, sales and support documentation - available in advance of producing a physical product

• Secure and compact file production for simple distribution

Design Rule’s 3D PDF for 3DEXPERIENCE enables businesses to harness the power of 3D in a simple and effective way, and to communicate that value to stakeholders - often without the need for additional reader installations.

Design Rule has partnered with Theorem Solutions to create the 3dxtools solution, allowing 3DEXPERIENCE users to produce interactive 3D content created from professional 3D CAD/3D modeling data. 3D PDF combines dynamic, rich 3D geometry data with metadata, text, images, video and forms in a PDF document. These 3D PDF files are compact, secure and easy to share.

Create, view and interact with 3D PDFs 3D PDF documents are completely interactive and can be annotated and measured using the Adobe Reader application. This powerful, easy to use format is transforming how engineering information is communicated.

Rather than receiving a static 2D document, with 3D PDF the recipient can hide and show parts of a 3D model, remove a cover to look inside or turn parts around as if holding them, giving unprecedented insight that a 2D image can not provide and adding value to online documentation, without removing the practical need for physical printed information.

3D Documentation for Critical Business Processes and InitiativesThe value of the 3D model being embedded the document means it can be used to greater effect in critical business processes and initiatives including:

• Product Reviews & Sign-off• Change Management• Quality Improvements• Technical Documentation• Bid and Proposal creation• Model Based Enterprise

3D PDF is completely open and is documented as part of the PDF ISO standards family.

Document Driven, Consistent User Experience3D PDF for 3DEXPERIENCE provides a consistent medium for information consumption that users are already familiar with. Existing documents and forms can be augmented with the addition of 3D information to allow consumers to be better informed and make decisions based on a set of relevant and in context information. For example, common document types are:

• Engineering Change Requests and Orders• First Article Inspection Reports• Model Based Definition to ASME Y14.41 standard• Supply Chain Requests• Technical Bid Responses• Maintenance Documentation

Configuration and Automation3D PDF for 3DEXPERIENCE can be configured to automatically create 3D PDFs as part of a workflow or business process. This ensures that 3DEXPERIENCE users have access to the correct data formats, at the correct revision, when required.

The Platform Automation is a plug-in, for Design Rule’s 3dxtools 3DEXPERIENCE Job Server, with the following capabilities;

• Server side generation of 3D PDFs from ENOVIA® managedProducts, Assemblies and Parts• Map CATIA® attribute and metadata from the ENOVIAbusiness object into the PDF template• Add other files from the ENOVIA vault into the 3D PDF• Map a table of data (i.e. the BOM, MDB) to fields within the3D PDF template• Initiate 3D PDF creation from an ENOVIA trigger

Fast, Low-Risk DeploymentDesign Rule’s proven implementation methodology for fast, low risk deployment is based on meticulous planning. This leads the customer through a series of steps to an effective deployment.

A typical engagement with a customer will consist of:• Project planning• Process Value Assessment• Product configuration• User training and Roll out support

Driving these deployments is our robust Project Governance methodologies that ensure we deliver projects Right, First- Time, On-Time, and On-Cost.
