No need to own or learn to use expensive 3D CAD systems. With Tetra4D Converter you can accurately convert 3D data from the latest versions of CATIA, Pro/E, SOLIDWORKS, Inventor, and all other major CAD applications to 3D PDF directly inside Adobe Acrobat Pro.
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 your 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
Tetra4D Converter is 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
Tetra4D Converter provides the tools you need 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
Given the ubiquity of Adobe Reader, 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 PDF’s are up to 97% smaller than the original CAD model enabling easy electronic sharing.
