Editor's Notes
- Today I would like to begin my presentation with showing some simple examples of 3D PDF. Following that, I would like to discuss why 3D PDF is important, what makes it different, what it is being used for, and how it is being used. I will explain what the 3D PDF Consortium is and how it is structured, and conclude by explaining why it is important.
- 3D PDF can be used in many different ways, and I would like to show you just a few of them, using nothing more than the standard Acrobat Reader.Example 1 – 3D PDF can be used as a simple view, measure and markup tool (aircraft bulkhead)In this example of an aircraft bulkhead, you will see above the graphics window a toolbar that provides basic measurement and markup tools. These are very simple but powerful functions that are enabled at the discretion of the author, which is a very unique feature.Example 2 – 3D PDF can be used to combine a group of documents into a portfolioUsing the portfolio capabilities of Acrobat, an author can combine many types of documents into a single PDF file, which contains 3D information but also standard documents, and animations. Here is the 3D data representing a machined bracket, showing the product manufacturing information (PMI) and also text from the title block. All of this was extracted automatically from the CAD file. Documents such as an animation of the stress analysis, and a document describing the mass properties can also be included.Example 3 – 3D PDF can also be used to create a package that contains all of the 2D views of a 3D model, along with metadata from a PLM or ERP application using templates and formsIf so desired, it is possible to take a 3D model – in this case coming from Pro/Engineer – and extract all of the 2D views and present them in a “catalog”, along with information such as part number, vendor, and so forth, which are being placed into the PDF from a PLM or ERP application via a forms capability. This presents the user with all of the information that would have been included on several drawings, but in a form (a PDF file) that is organized for easy navigation. At any time, any view can be activated as a 3D view to enable further examination.
- The primary difference between 3D PDF and other data exchange or visualization formats, is the presence of features to support digital signatures, digital rights management, and forms. Both have the ability to represent data either in a tessellated mode, or a precise BREP geometry form, to represent product manufacturing information (PMI), and so forth – but only Acrobat has the capability to present itself both in a web-format, and in a document format. It also is important to remember that almost any company, regardless of size, expects to both generate and receive PDF files and has infrastructure and/or processes in place designed around PDF files.
- This slide shows how 3D PDF is used when compared to other data standards such as STEP and JT. The main point here is that there is a need for standards to support the direct exchange of geometry and certain key metadata, such as Product Manufacturing Information (PMI), and the storage of that data for long term archiving purposes. However, there is an equal or greater need to be able to support the publishing of technical documentation, documentation that is process-specific, and documentation that is required for the purposes of supporting performance, liability, or regulatory requirements.
- On the new 787 program at Boeing, Catia data that is “in-process”, or in other words subject to frequent change, is viewed using internal proprietary technology. Once the design process reaches a certain point, either where certain collaboration capabilities are required, or there is a need to create a document archive of the process, the data is then published in a 3D PDF and stored in a corporate-wide repository. As of early December, 2011, there were over 500,000 such documents in the repository that had been accessed over 3 million times.
- Interestingly, a Danish company called Grundfos, a very large $3 billion + industrial equipment manufacturer, arrived at almost the exact same system architecture independently. In this case, Grundfos had a large number of licenses of a stand-alone commercial visualization software application that is used for the in-process portion rather than a proprietary application, and publish to 3D PDF when workflow is triggered at the relevant stages in various processes.
- The US Department of Defense, in a program called Model Based Enterprise largely managed by the US Department of the Army, a study was done with a small, single part. The results were impressive – a 59% savings in time-to-deployment, and a $1.2 million cost savings were realized over traditional paper and CAD model methods. What is even more impressive is they did this with a production run of only 3600 parts!. The DOD is using 3D PDF to replace paper-based Technical Documentation Packages (TDP’s), which are the contract documents to suppliers; and for Digital Work Instructions (DWI) to support repair depots and field maintenance needs. The documents will distributed to over 4,000 locations when the program is complete.
- The 3D PDF Consortium is a community, not a standards body, consisting of software developers, systems integrators, and end-users from the manufacturing, architecture/construction, building information management, and geospatial industries. It was incorporated as a U.S. non-profit trade group on January 3, 2012 and is open to any interested organization.
- The Consortium’s primary mission is to accelerate adoption of solutions and tools that utilized the 3D PDF platform. We do that through three sub-groups, or committees, that take industry needs and uses cases and priorities as determined by industry, develop reference implementations to meet those needs while providing input to the relevant standards bodies, and then publicize this information through articles, white papers, and other publications; and by supporting a variety of industry events and meetings such as this one put on by our colleagues at SmartScape
- The Consortium has a valuable role to play in order to make sure that 3D PDF continues to be a leading technology platform, by:Assist in ensuring that the platform continues to evolve to meet the needs of the membersGiving industry a unified voice across markets and geographies so that their needs are understood and reflectedBeing a source of subject matter expertise for technical and implementation issues related to 3D PDFDemonstrating that there is a vibrant and expansive market for 3D PDF-based tools and solutionsProvide technical contributions to the Standards process
- As the Executive Director of the 3D PDF Consortium, it is my pleasure to welcome you to this seminar on 3D PDF hosted by our friends at Smartscape. I would like to thank Oketani-san and his colleagues for their generosity as our hosts, and I would like to thank all of you for taking time to join us.
