At Unite Copenhagen, this session looked at what's involved in merging real-time 3D and PLM in manufacturing. Within the manufacturing industry, and especially in the automotive segment, product lifecycle management (PLM) is a critical foundation for customer workflows. Real-time 3D needs to use PLM systems as a source of geometry and metadata. In this session, you'll hear from an expert from Atos, a leader in digital transformation, how PLM and real-time 3D are coming together to enable powerful and efficient new workflows. Speakers: Winfried Schwan- Atos & Laurent Milon- PiXYZ Software Watch the session on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Nny2GYGE0oo

6. PLM in a nutshell
PLM enables and supports
the collaborative creation,
management and use
of product information
across the enterprise
from product idea
to end of life.
PLM is integrating people,
processes, business systems
and information. PLM forms the
product information backbone
for an enterprise.

And these are the
PLM areas we’re
really interested in...
...because they’re
hosting that rich 3D content

8. A conversation
in an office somewhere...
I want to use all that
rich 3D content from
our PLM/CAD systems
in Unity...
Why is that so hard?
Well, there are
reasons for that...
Let me explain...

9. The Unity/Teamcenter challenge
The integration challenge
— Creating a Unity plugin to connect with Teamcenter
— Extending the Unity Editor UI to connect with Teamcenter
— Using Teamcenter‘s dispatcher framework from Unity Editor
— Running a dispatcher job from Unity Editor
The data challenge
— Getting the metadata from Teamcenter to Unity
— Making sure that a 3D file is transformed into a format and size that Unity can manage
— Getting the geometry from Teamcenter to Unity
— Ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the transferred data
