Overview

Tetra4D Enrich is the only solution that allows anyone to create data rich, interactive 3D PDFs inside Adobe Acrobat without needing programming expertise.

Sharing 3D CAD models and product data with anyone in the extended enterprise, including non-CAD users, is a challenge for manufacturing industries. Depending on the usage, the required product information must be fit-to-purpose to enable efficient access and consumption. Tetra4D Enrich is a plug-in to Adobe Acrobat Pro that lets you connect and share critical CAD data with interactive, custom, reusable, 3D PDF templates.

Connect your native 3D CAD model with other critical data managed by PLM/ERP such as bill of material (BOM), meta-data
Define widgets and interactions between the 3D scene and the non-geometric data
Securely allow downstream users to access the product data they need
Build custom 3D PDF templates designed to fit any workflow

Uses: Design review, sales and marketing presentations, part catalog, work instructions, Technical Data Package (TDP), engineering data release, design change notification, requests for quote or proposal, and supporting the Model Based Enterprise (MBE).

Create Critical Engineering Documents

Tetra4D Enrich goes beyond addressing basic workflows by enabling users to make any type of document 3D and interactive. Critical docs such as inspection reports, part catalogs, engineering data release documents, advanced product presentations, work instructions and 3D MBD technical data packages (TDPs) all become that much more valuable with 3D.

Tetra4D Enrich comes with all the conversion technology of Tetra4D Converter, ensuring support for the latest versions of REVIT, CATIA, PTC Creo, Pro/E, NX, Solid Edge, SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk AutoCAD and other major CAD formats.

Tetra4D is Adobe’s exclusive provider of 3D PDF technology, guaranteeing viewing compatibility with Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat—in addition to complying with 3D PDF ISO standards. Tetra4D is a founding member of the 3D PDF Consortium.

Features & Benefits

Now Anyone can Create Intelligent 3D PDFs - Tetra4D Enrich allows anyone, even non-CAD users, to create rich, interactive 3D PDF documents. And because it doesn't require specialized programming expertise, users can create advanced 3D PDFs in record time. Insert a 3D CAD model, bill of material and view carousel with the click of a mouse.
Enhance Your 3D PDF with Interactivity - Easily add interactivity between 3D models, non-graphical data and other product information to create custom actions such as populating views, changing render modes, displaying text and more.
Complete Functionality of Tetra4D Converter - Tetra4D Enrich incorporates the latest version of Tetra4D Converter, allowing you to convert over 20 of the major CAD formats to native 3D PDF (including CATIA, SolidWorks, NX and neutral formats). Users can also make 3D measurements, comments and create new views to improve collaboration.
Create Advanced Documents - Use Tetra4D Enrich and Adobe Acrobat Pro to create your own custom template or use existing templates to build compelling documents such as work instructions, part catalogs, maintenance manuals and technical data packages (TDPs).
Efficient and Affordable - Critical documents can be created without additional internal or external resources at a modest price, saving both time and money. Until now programming expertise or costly enterprise solutions would be required to create such documents.
All Critical Manufacturing Information, in One Document - Consolidate all required product information into one document including 3D CAD, CAD metadata, and business intelligence from systems like ERP and PLM.
