Tetra4D Converter is a solution for converting native 3D CAD data into interactive 3D PDF documents that can be shared with anyone, regardless of CAD software ownership. It addresses the challenge of sharing designs with individuals who lack access to or expertise in using complex CAD systems. The software allows users to control what data is included in the converted 3D PDF, such as precise solid geometry, PMI/views, and metadata, all in a highly compressed, viewable format. Given that Adobe Reader is widely installed, recipients can readily view the 3D data without needing additional software. Tetra4D Converter supports conversion from various CAD formats, including CATIA, PTC Creo, Pro/E, NX, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, and Autodesk AutoCAD, to 3D PDF. It also facilitates 3D PDF conversion to neutral formats like STEP, JT, Parasolid, 3MF, IGES, and JT. Security features enable control over recipients' ability to measure, section, comment on, or export 3D data.

Features & Benefits

• Share CAD Data with Anyone
  • Accurately convert 3D data from major CAD applications to 3D PDF directly inside Adobe Acrobat Pro, eliminating the need for expensive 3D CAD systems.
• Translate CAD Data
  • Export precise geometric 3D CAD data to STEP, IGES, JT, STL, Parasolid and ACIS from all major CAD formats for use in downstream applications.
• Security Options
  • Ensure intellectual property is only opened by the intended recipient with Adobe Acrobat’s password security. Control access to views, and user ability to mark up and export files.
• Always Viewable in Acrobat Reader
  • Built using the native technology found in all Acrobat products ensuring 3D content is displayed accurately every time it is opened with Acrobat Reader.
• Transition from MBD to MBE
  • Provides the tools needed to share Model Based Designs with suppliers, with full support for import of PMI data such as dimensions, tolerances, annotations and intelligent PMI view states.
• Collaborate with Your Team
  • 3D PDF files can be viewed, commented on and shared by virtually anyone. Creation of views, measurements and sectioning functions make collaboration simple and efficient.
• Full Representation of CAD Data in a Compressed File
  • 3D PDFs are up to 97% smaller than the original CAD model enabling easy electronic sharing.
