Overview
Realize the benefits of creating data-rich 3D PDFs to further streamline documentation and communication workflows, and efficiently scale 3D PDF usage in key manufacturing use cases with less IT effort and without the need for a costly and complex enterprise-level solution. Tetra4D Automate requires minimal customization, training and integration support, allowing companies to start using the product immediately without any interruption or downtime to their processes. Tetra4D Automate translates the same formats as Tetra4D Enrich and Tetra4D Converter with full support of assembly structure, PMI, views and CAD attributes. |
Highlights
Organizations that create a high-volume of CAD models require a seamless and efficient solution to address the communication and collaboration challenges of manufacturing industries.
Tetra4D Automate scales 3D PDF usage by delivering documents that support key use cases with less IT effort or the need for a costly and complex enterprise-level solution.
- Integrate with PDM/PLM, ERP or simply implement in a “watch-folder” mode
- Supports over 20 CAD formats with full support of assembly structure, PMI, views and CAD attributes
- Aggregate all required information in one document including CAD model, bill of materials & meta-data
- Generates fit-to-purpose documents for various use cases thanks to highly customizable Tetra4 Enrich templates
- Supports key features like security management, file attachment and conversion of CAD files to standard formats
Features & Benefits
- Efficiently Scale 3D PDF Creation – Tetra4D Automate allows manufacturers of any size to streamline documentation and communication workflows without the need for a costly and complex enterprise-level solution. Efficiently scale 3D PDF usage with minimal IT effort—fewer installations, upgrades, and software management, etc. saving both time and money.
- Leverage Highly Customizable Tetra4D Enrich Templates – Use Tetra4D Enrich and Adobe Acrobat Pro to create your own custom template or use existing templates to build compelling documents such as product visualization, engineering data release, design change notifications, part catalogs, maintenance manuals and technical data packages (TDPs).
- Aggregate Complete Product Information – 3D PDFs created with Tetra4D Automate offer full support of assembly structure, PMI, Views and CAD attributes including meta-data and BOM information managed by PDM, PLM and ERP systems.
- Simple, Easy-to-Deploy Server Solution – Tetra4D Automate requires minimal customization, training and integration support, allowing companies to start using the product immediately without any interruption or downtime to their processes.
- On-Demand Flexibility – The generation of 3D PDFs can be triggered by PDM/PLM events (ie: Check-in, Status change, etc), watch-folder or triggered manually from within the PDM/PLM client, allowing for flexibility within structured environments.
