3D PDFs
Create, publish, and share comprehensive and compliant 3D PDF technical data packages with ease.
There are few better ways to share complex product data and promote efficient manufacturing collaboration than 3D PDFs. But producing these documents and ensuring their accuracy can be a slow and cumbersome process. From creation to collaboration, you can use Anark to streamline this process and make 3D PDFs an integral part of your manufacturing workflow.
Common 3D PDF Challenges
Ensuring complete & accurate data
Manually tracking down all the information you need for a 3D PDF can mean having to correspond with multiple departments. Making sure all this information is accurate and up-to-date can add yet another layer of complexity to the process. And then an engineering change happens and you have to start over.
Packaging for compliance
Checking that each of your 3D PDFs meets the rules of guidelines like the government’s MIL-STD-31000B standards may require dedicated specialists just to get the job done. And if any repackaging is required, it may increase the chance of lost contracts.
Creating 3D PDFs efficiently
Collecting all the right information, checking it for consistency and accuracy, and ensuring it meets any compliance standards can become a laborious process prone to additional delays. This can not only be frustrating — it can also add up costs.
How Anark Perfects Your 3D PDF Process
The Anark Product Innovation Platform helps save valuable time by automating and streamlining each part of the 3D PDF creation process. Whether you need help creating them from scratch, ensuring compliance, sharing them with stakeholders, or opening them up for more effective collaboration, Anark provides the capabilities to help.
Anark Workstation
Take control of TDP creation to harness the full power of your 3D CAD.
Plug into any CAD tool to instantly transform your native CAD designs into ready-to-share 3D PDFs and file-less TDPs. Normalize the data coming from varied modeling practices. Add in your own knowledge using our intuitive tools to make everything as easy as possible to understand. Save time by creating your own automated recipes for preparing and publishing data or use one of our pre-built templates.
Anark Collaborate
Go faster with traced TDP collaboration across the digital thread.
Bring your teams together to review, release, and distribute 3D PDFs faster than ever before. Ensure your latest information is all in one place by automatically synchronizing with your PLM system. Drag-and-drop to upload files CAD, BOM, and other data types for quick transfer to the 3D PDF author. Get granular control over this data to securely share it with those who need access, then collaborate in the context of that data with powerful markup tools, real-time chat, and other ways to communicate.
Anark Publish
Automate TDP publishing to supercharge your processes.
Automatically synchronize with PLM and PDM systems to instantly extract the latest data and ensure you never have to go looking for it. Intelligently translate that data into individual TDP components, including interactive elements for 3D PDFs. Set automatic triggers for publishing so that the right people get the right data at the right time.
