  • 3D Graphics (3D CAD model)

  • Attached files to form a Technical Data Package. The ability to interrogate and interact with the document.

  • The ability to universally review CAD with a free viewer.

  • Compressed data for optimum file size for sharing

  • Support for Model Based Definition (MBD)

  • The addition of 3D content to PDF allows your company:

    • To produce documents to fully describe the product

    • To achieve effective communication regarding product information.

    • To automate specific business processes

    • To improve understanding and eliminate ambiguity in relation to product data.

    • To create and extend customised, dynamic documents
