History• 2005 – Adobe establishes relationship with Right Hemisphere to add 3D technology to Acrobat• 2006 – Adobe acquires TTF SARL, the developers of PRC and the importer technology• 2007 – Adobe release Acrobat 7.1, first 3D release• 2010 – Adobe forms relationships with Tech Soft 3D and PROSTEP AG to take over product development, sales, support; Tetra 4D created to develop and market Acrobat Pro plug-in• 2011 – Several ISV’s meet at COFES and discuss the idea of a consortium around 3D PDF• Jan 3, 2012 – 3D PDF Consortium formally incorporated

What is 3D PDF? • a PDF that contains U3D¹ or PRC² data • PDF’s with U3D or PRC can be read by any supported version of the Acrobat Reader • 3D PDF was defined and developed, and continues to be supported by, Adobe • 3D PDF is an active part of the existing PDF standardization activities¹ U3D = Universal 3D, developed by Boeing, Intel, Adobe² PRC = Product Representation Compact, developed by Adobe

3D PDF Content Standards Status• U3D – U3D developed by 3D Industry Forum (3dif.org) – U3D currently an ECMA standard (363) under TC43 – U3D Edition 1 is specified by PDF/E (ISO 24517-1)• PRC – Specification published by Adobe in 2008 (PDF 1.7) – Released to ISO TC 171 for standardization in 2008 – Currently managed by ISO DIS 14739 under TC 171 SC 2 – Establishes 3D standard to be referenced by PDF (ISO 32000) and others

PDF is ISO32000

Rich Information Packages

Five Reasons Why 3D PDF is Important1. Universal access – through Acrobat Reader2. Compound document – 3D, 2D, image, text, audio, video, enterprise data3. Infrastructure availability – Existing systems already support PDF4. True neutrality – Protects investment5. Superior value – No other platform presents as much opportunity, for such little risk

How is 3D PDF used in manufacturing? - Technical publications - Service manuals - Marketing collateral Documents. Customers, MRO CAD Data Forms, Publicati organizations ons - Digital work instructions - Request for proposal - Request for quote Direct data Partners, Suppli exchange, - Model based ers digital mockup machining - Digital mockup - Long term data - Collaborative design retention - Product record Archival LEGEND storage Native CAD data STEP/JT data PDF data

3D PDF in use at BoeingBoeing CommercialAirplanes• 3D PDF used for 787 Dreamliner publications• Proprietary visualization used for “in-process” work• Catia V5 data published into 3D PDF format and deposited into a global repository• > 400,000 3D PDF’s in repository• View manipulation, search and filtering capability• Includes geometry and bill of materials information

3D PDF in use at GrundfosGrundfos Group• 55 companies in 82 countries• Catia used across the enterprise for design; data managed by Enovia in process• Commercial visualization tool for in-process visualization• Workflow stage triggers publishing into 2D and 3D PDF’s• Published data managed in SAP PLM• Includes geometry and bill of materials information

3D PDF in use at US ArmyUS Department of Defense• One study, one part: – 59% decrease in time-to- deploy – $1.2M savings in 3600 parts• Department of Defense is embracing 3D PDF for Model Based Enterprise• Major weapons systems likely deployed with 3D PDF• Technical Data Packages and Digital Work Instructions can be delivered via 3D PDF• Over 4,000 bases, repair depots, field service locations will be able to use 3D PDF

What is the 3D PDF Consortium?• A community dedicated to driving adoption of 3D PDF enabled solutions through: – Defining industry needs and priorities – Creating reference implementations and other resources – Providing input to the standards process – Raising awareness• A worldwide, non-profit, member organization• Open to all companies

Organization Details• Law firm – Gesmer, Updegrove LLP• Incorporated in Delaware, U.S.• Form of organization – 501(c)6 Trade Organization under IRS Tax code• Filed with National Cooperative Research and Production Act (NCRPA) for anti-trust protection• Bylaws, Articles of Incorporation, and incorporation certificate available• All back office functions outsourced• Managed by an Executive Director

What is the Consortium structure? Board of Directors • governance, recruiting Executive Committee • mission, vision, strategic direction Industry Technical Marketing Committee Committee Committee - Define industry needs - Project goals and - Events planning and priorities objectives - Publications - Develop process- - Project plans, - Solicit and propose based use cases participation, case studies - Assign priorities to funding - Presentations technical committee - Implementers - Blog/article work forum submissions - ISO technical submissions

Committee status• Industry committee – Chair: Asa Trainer, ITI Transcendata – Current work: assembling and prioritizing initial use cases (i.e. service after sales, analysis distribution,• Technical Committee – Chair: Phil Spreier, Tech Soft 3D – Current work: for submission to ISO 32000 next version: a) definition of needs for “PRC 2.0”; b) enhancement for Javascript support; both due Sep 2012• Marketing Committee – Chair: Jim Merry, Tetra 4D – Current work: a) enhancement of web site; b) development of webinar series; c) seminar/event program

Member benefitsVendors and Systems Commercial andIntegrators Government Users• Relay site for press • Access to experts via releases, case studies community blogs and wikis• Product certification via test • Reference library of industry suite activities white papers, case studies,• Stronger customer reference implementations relationships through pilot • Cross-industry knowledge project participation sharing• Early visibility to emerging • Shared leverage to technical features and influence vendor requirements of the development standard • Educational resources• Market visibility through • Implementation support Consortium activities

Why is the Consortium important?• Define priorities according to member needs• Speak for the industry with a unified voice• Source of subject matter expertise• Demonstrate market demand• Provide technical input to standards process• Offer vendor-neutral advice to end user members on implementation strategies• Resources such as reference implementations, implementer forums, white papers, templates, Javascript, libraries

What is the commitment?• Beyond dues, there is no “contractual” commitment however….• Meeting goals requires participation: – Officers: 4 – 8 hours per month – Board members: 8 – 10 hours per quarter – Committee chairs: 4 – 8 hours per month – Committee members: 8 – 16 hours per month• The above are a) estimates, and b) additive
