3D PDF / HTML Translation

Elysium is committed to openness and established standards for the representation of 3D data.

We will continue to support and improve 3D interoperability including workflows with 3D PDF and HTML.

3D PDF & HTML ― Accelerating 3D Communication

Today’s engineering processes are increasingly ‘model-based,’ emphasizing the need to establish reliable and seamless communication throughout the entire process.

3D PDF and HTML play crucial roles in model-based processes. These 3D formats can be used to quickly and accurately communicate a complete product specification. This can enhance collaboration, efficiency, and overall business performance.

With Elysium 3DxSuite, you can leverage the power of 3D PDF and HTML to create customized Technical Data Packages (TDPs). These TDPs can contain all the data necessary to communicate within your organization or with your supply chain, including 3D data, product structure, PMI, metadata, specifications and more.

Supported CAD versions

3D PDF

The PDF file format is an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standard format capable of containing and visualizing 3D data (ISO 32000). It serves the needs at various stages in the product life cycle. The benefits of 3D PDF are:

  • PDF is the most used data format for sharing and distributing documents
  • 3D PDF is suitable for long term archiving (LOTAR) and MIL-STD-31000
  • Approval Tools Including Comments, Stamps and Digital Signatures
  • Advanced Security including Encryption, Password Protection, and Access Control

HTML

HTML is a standard under the W3C umbrella that enables viewing 3D data in the browser. The benefits of HTML are : 

  • Capable of handling large models with high performance​
  • Enables responsive design/layout​
    • Automatically adjusted with the window size​
    • Manually adjustable to optimize screen space usage​
  • Has portability “built-in”​
    • Easy to open on mobile devices​

Use Cases​

TDP (Technical Data Package)

With TDP, you can eliminate the inefficiencies of traditional operation methods by supplying downstream processes and tools with digital data. ​Establish a transparent communication based on 3D models between all stakeholders, from engineering to management.​

Reporting

Exchange the 3D data in the way you like. Customize what goes into your report without any coding. Freely add information other than CAD data to complete your TDP.

PDF Association

Elysium is a member of the PDF Association and has access to the latest technical resources, industry standards, and best practices related to PDF technologies. Elysium is the only MBD software developer to participate in the development of ISO standards for PDF technology, enabling us to deliver innovative, compliant, and efficient solutions.
