Open Design Alliance Releases 3D PDF SupportProviding ODA members with PRC-‐based 3D PDF
Phoenix, AZ: September 22, 2014 – Open Design Alliance (ODA) today
announced the release of a 3D PDF component for Teigha, its software
development platform for engineering applications. This component can be used
to export a .dwg or .dgn file to PRC-‐based 3D PDF (Portable Document Format).
The accurate and highly compressible PRC file format is optimized to store, load
and display 3D data such as geometry, assembly structures and product
manufacturing information. PRC files encapsulated within PDF, an open
standard, can be viewed universally which means that detailed 3D designs can be
widely communicated.
PRC-‐based PDF files can be easily archived yet original 3D information will
always be accessible for design reuse and revision within CAD, CAD and CAE
systems.
“Our members have expressed a strong interest in 3D PDF and the versatility it
provides,” comments Neil Petersen, ODA President. “This new Teigha
functionality gives them an additional option for storing and sharing 3D
information.”
The component is also intended for use as a stand-‐alone PRC library. An alpha
release of the Teigha PRC component is available to members on the ODA
website:
