3D PDFs are moving document sharing to a whole new level – in fact they have become ubiquitous for making 3D models accessible to non-users of 3D modeling software. Anyone opening a 3D PDF can now rotate, spin, re-size, zoom, and make parts transparent. This translates to a richer user experience for everyone, not just your engineering team sporting high performance software at their desks. Just ask Boeing: 3D PDFs have played a key role in their Model-Based Definition (MBD) internal and client communication for some time now
Joed Dougherty will present Boeing’s way of using 3D PDFs at the 3D Collaboration and Interoperability Congress (3D CIC) in Washington, DC on October 29, 2015.

Presentation Title: Communicating a New Way of Doing Business – 3D PDFs the Boeing Way
Topics:
- Model-Based Design as 3D PDF
- Design and manufacturing authority for 3D PDF
- 3D PDF challenges
Abstract:
This presentation will take a look at what the MBD looks like in a 3D PDF. It will review the design and manufacturing authority and whether they are different. Finally, the challenges of deriving 3D geometry and product and manufacturing information (PMI) from the original (native) CAD will be discussed.
