The quality assurance and the verification of 3-D models in each step of the development process of complex products is essential for a seamless collaboration. With the conversion and visualization tools of the German-French software developer, CT Core Technologie, it is now possible to save the results of complex DMU analysis such as collision detection of assemblies, the comparison of models as well as wall thickness and draft checks into a simple 3D PDF file which then can be opened and viewed with a free Acrobat Reader.
With the conversion software named 3-D Evolution and the analysis tool 3-D Analyzer from CT Core Technologie it is now possible to enrich information in all major CAD data formats and convert them into a PDF document. The free 3-D PDF reader and the benefits of professional 3-D technology can be useful for all stakeholders in the development process. Designers, tool makers, engineers, material buyers, buyers, project managers and partners for whom it is necessary to have access to 3-D content, can easily access large amounts of data for synchronization changes and sharing of analysis results. "This system is so simple that even non-experts can use it and the program Acrobat Reader is so common that every owner of a PC can make use of it," said a company spokesperson.
With the annotation tool from the 3D Analyzer Viewer program, one can add features such as 3-D annotations, dimensions and exploded views of various CAD formats. Through the included analysis application, it can compare models and save the results with colored variances in a PDF format. "With these 3-D graphics, even complex problems are easy to understand. Changes in the development process of all native models are immediately recognizable by colored variations and thus changes need not be tediously documented by numerous screenshots," said the spokesperson.
The analysis tool of "3-D Analyzer" also includes distance and angle measurement, notices, coordinate systems, bounding boxes with length information and surface area calculations. The 3-D Analyzer program offers comparison of 3-D geometry such as parts and assemblies, collision detection - between parts and assemblies, of wall thickness, draft check and undercut analysis.
The free PDF reader is already installed on millions of computers and is in daily use on workstations, laptops and tablets while the PDF format is very compressed and lightweight. So it is possible to open large assemblies easily or to send them via e-mail. "The Core Technologie software suite is thus a viewing and conversion toolset that guarantees an optimal communication of 3-D content," said the spokesperson.
