• Introduction to 3DPDF • How 3DPDF works • Survey of use cases • Summary of benefits • Q&A What is a 3DPDF file? Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2013

• Any PDF file containing data defined in either Universal 3D (U3D) or Product Representation Compact (PRC) formats 3DPDF Standards Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2013

• Universal 3D (U3D) • Product - ECMA 363 Edition Representation 1 (TC43) Compact (PRC) - • Tessellated meshes ISO 14379 (TC171) • Structure • Tessellated meshes • Light sources • Structure • Animation • Precise B-rep geometry • Product manufacturing information (PMI) • Properties The World of PDF ISO standards Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2013

• PDF/E-2 (in work) • archiving • encryption • based on PDF 2.0 • 3DPDF Consortium leadership at the ISO level • 3D JavaScript ad-hoc committee chair • PDF/E archiving ad- hoc committee chair • Full PDF, PDF/E, and PRC committee participation PRC Content - Physical Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2013

• Topology • Complete topological description • Geometry • Points, coordinate systems, polyhedra, curves, surfaces • Maintains period and parametric definitions of curves and surfaces • Surface geometry can be converted to NURBS PRC Content – Product manufacturing information Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2013

• Full visual PMI • Annotations and symbols • Can be associated to 3D elements • Syntactic PMI • All positioning and styling maintained • Presented in machine- readable structures for downstream utilization • Move to semantic PMI • Possibly in PRC 2.0 PRC Content - Metadata Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2013

• Name • Layer • Key value pairs • Enables discrimination representing attributes between entity types (i.e. author, creation • Show/hide date, release date) • Enables visibility • Persistent ID • Coordinate systems • Two types of unique • Part based or local identification based • Style • Stored as XML • Transparency, • Ease of access rendering mode, materials PDF File Structure and 3D Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2013

• 3D data is a stream within the PDF • Geometry data is sequential binary; other data is XML and accessible • Tools exist to do the conversion from authoring system and placement in PDF file Data binding enables behaviors, associativity Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2013 Templates Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2013

• Predetermines layout • Visible content • Where objects are • Text placed • 2D and 3D • How data binding is • Form objects (editable) realized • Control elements • How objects behave (buttons, lists) • Can “pull” data from • Data content external sources on • XML data publish • Multimedia content • Audio • Video • Control logic • JavaScript • FormCalc • Flash apps “Smarter PDF’s” Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2013

• Ability to include 3D adds intelligence to PDF • In the manufacturing context • Total fit-for-purpose • Other 3D formats have “limited” intelligence • No forms • No scripting • No templates • No portfolios Let’s review Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2013

• 3DPDF is a generic PDF with 3D data • ISO governs the 3DPDF standards world with cooperation from Adobe, PDF Association, and the 3DPDF Consortium, along with key users across industries • PRC has the ability to completely represent a product definition, with the exception of history, at a level determined by the owner of the data • Data binding with JavaScript enables behaviors and associativity with internal and external data sources • Templates provide a means to have documents conform to company practices or regulatory requirements • 3D support enables highly intelligent, fit-for-purpose PDF’s Use case # 1 Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2013
