If a picture is worth a
thousand words then a 3D model is worth ten thousand and an animated 3D
model a hundred thousand.
Adobe have recently released a new version of
Acrobat Reader, this is the software that allows access to the very
popular PDF format. This new viewer can have 3D models embedded within
it, these 3D models can be rotated, panned and zoomed. Even more
exciting; models and assemblies can be animated prior to publishing.
These PDF files could be made available to
Customers, Sales people, Service departments,
Suppliers ...
During new product development 3D animated
concepts will be able to be shared with the project team, there is even
the ability to mark up these PDF files.
