London, May 19th, 2017 – PDF3D, leaders in 3D PDF conversion technology, have today announced the latest release of their popular PV+ plugin, which enables users of the award-winning ParaView application to convert the 3D data generated by ParaView into 3D PDFs.
PDF3D’s latest PV+, V2.14, combines V5.2 and V5.3 of Kitware’s ParaView visualization application features, making it compatible with a […]
What is MBD?
The MBD idea of Model Based Definitions for CAD, involves using CAD system agnostic digital drawing files where not only the 3D geometric part shapes, designs are present, but further the tolerance, annotations, key design data required to fully interpret the 3D drawing. An MBD enabled drawing enables the capture of design configurations, performance requirements, manufacturing procedures, quality […]
Engineers and scientists working on the latest developments rely on the secure transfer of critical information. The work that goes into 3D design, research and analysis is extensive – and expensive – and a leakage of that data can be detrimental.
What is the best way to share confidential 3D data?
It turns out that it’s not that difficult to increase the […]
UAV drone photography has exploded in popularity over the past two years and what started as a hobby for photography enthusiasts has now turned into a highly beneficial tool for the commercial world.
Engineers and construction professionals have embraced the technology, which is now routinely used for gathering and analyzing data from above to aid planning, safety, security and design.
As you […]
The way 3D data is viewed has come a long way over recent years. With the introduction of CAD interchange, standard 3D graphics model content formats and then 3D PDF, it has never been easier to share 3D CAD files between users of multiple programs and platforms.
As technology continues to innovate, many professionals who work with 3D modelling data are treated […]

The latest offering from C TECH is a stand-alone Windows application that includes advanced volumetric gridding, geostatistical analysis, geologic layer separation and 4D visualization.
Used for many types of data such as soil, ground water, […]
What is a STEP file?
STEP was developed to solve the age-old problem of sharing 3D model file data between different CAD systems. STEP, which stands for Standard for the Exchange of Product Data, is essentially an exchange format, much like PDF, that can be recognized by various programs, thereby making it easier to send data to other CAD users.
STEP is […]
3D photos, Virtual Reality worlds and designs for feeding 3D printers are showing up in many diverse places. To document share and review 3D models needs a generic universally accepted format such as PDF. Actually, PDF already supports 3D. Once a 3D model is converted to 3D PDF, it can be distributed and viewed with any 3D enabled PDF viewer.
