GPDIS_2013.ppt | 1 Agenda Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2013 • 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 Company Triumph Aerospace Industry Aerospace and Defense Process Assembly Use case Display assembly steps including animation by configuration Installation Wichita Production Facility Benefits Reduced effort to create work instruction documents, Improved build quality through better recognition and understanding by assembly personnel Information courtesy of: Use case # 2 Global Product Data Interoperability Summit | 2013 Company BE Aerospace Industry Aerospace and Defense Process Design review, assembly, inspection Use case Electrical installation detailing providing an accurate model of routing paths Installation 30 seats publishing capable, any program over 2000 hours will use this process Benefits A 2-page 3DPDF replaces 10 pages of 2D drawings;
