2.3. So wa e in ol ed in he wo k low

Te a4D’s aim has been e ining hei echnology and ex ended i o mo e

One o he ools de eloped by his company is Te a4D Con e e , he

2.3.3. LaTeX
LaTeX is a ex p epa a ion sys em, o ien a ed o a high ypog aphic quali y.

w i e uses code as agging con en ions o es ablish he s uc u e o he
documen , de ining he s yle o he ex and adding ables and o he elemen s
such as pic u es, anima ions o 3D models.
LaTeX is based on TeX commands. TeX is a ypog aphic sys em w i en by
Donald E. Knu h, ha , annoyed wi h he low quali y o his i s books, decided
o design his own language and he inished i in ea ly 80s [22]. TeX o de s

in o keys (“{}”) and based on basic o de s and mac os. Mos o hem a e
included in o iginal Knu h’s plainTeX, LaTeX o echnic science in i s majo i y,
and ConTeX , o publica ions.
LaTeX was c ea ed in 1984 in o de o acili a e he use o TeX, p o iding a

2.3.4. CAD Exchange
CAD Exchange concei ed o he CAD da a in e ope abili y. I allows o
isualize 3D da a, con e i in a nume ous amoun o di e en CAD, mesh,
and o he o ma s. The so wa e wo ks wi h s anda d o ma s, as IGES, STEP
o STL and wi h modelling speci ic o ma s like ACIS, Pa asolid o Rhino/Open
NURBS [25].
CAD Exchange was c ea ed by he company CADEX in 2014 by Roman Lygin,
despi e some be a e sions we e ealised some yea s be o e. I s a ed like
o he ech s a -ups, as a hobby, bu wi h ich backg ound in so wa e
de elopmen and managemen and inspi ed in pa allel compu a ions, he
ounde s p o o yped a 3D isualiza ion and con e sion app ha ecei ed
posi i e eedbacks om use s. They wen on he imp o emen o he so wa e
and inally ounded he company [26].
The p oblem wi h CAD da a in e ope abili y has been p esen since CAD
sys ems s a ed o be designed. The echnical ac o s like he di e ences in

size o hem, is g owing, new e icien me hods a e equi ed, and CAD
Exchange is based in one o hese me hods. The combina ion o using pa allel
compu a ions, a sys em based on he idea ha big p oblems migh be sol ed
wi h li le solu ions as a whole [28], is wha makes his so wa e a powe ul
ool o his issue. CAD Exchange includes h ee di e en packages, ha a e:
-GUI, a g aphical use in e ace app ha allows isualize 3D models in
di e en iews and in e ac wi h he assembly, gi ing also di e en
geome ical in o ma ion o i .
-SDK, a se o C++ lib a ies o de elope s, so hey a e able o, o example,
impo ing exac geome y in CAM sys ems om STEP o JT o analyse p oduc

-CLI, a se e -based solu ion designed o he collabo a i e usage, so he
designe s can sha e all hei da a in cloud-based se ices in la ge companies,
o ins ance.
In ou case, CAD Exchange will be used o he con e sion om STEP o X3D
iles. The company o e s ee educa ional e sions and si e-wide licensing,
so he so wa e can be used on unlimi ed numbe o compu e s. I is e y
use ul, in ha way, he lexibili y hey o e us.
2.4. Ways o implemen he solu ion
The c ea ion o a 3D PDF was usually an unsuccess ul p ocess, since he 3D
model was expo ed in a mesh o ma and was no possible o c ea e a model
ee, o example, he quali y was no as high as we wished and was e y
slow, due o he ac ha he e was no a speci ic empla e o wo k wi h. The
old wo k low is shown in igu e 2.2. Once he 3D model was c ea ed in OPUS,
he CAM so wa e used, i was expo ed as a STL ile, as a mesh, and impo ed
in MeshLab in o de o con e he ile in a U3D o ma . Finally, i was
embedded in a PDF documen wi h LaTeX, bu wi h a e y simple empla e
c ea ed also in his so wa e. In his p ocess, a lo o in o ma ion, s a ing
om he colou and ex u es and con inuing wi h PMI and o he anno a ions
we e los . The e was, addi ionally, he possibili y o c ea e a 3D PDF
documen om OPUS. This op ion, hough, was dismissed since he e was no
possibili y o c ea e a empla e o add any able o u he in o ma ion. The
documen was composed by he 3D model and no hing else, so he ope a o
was able o in e ac wi h he assembly bu had no access o i s de ails.

In his sec ion we will alk abou he way he solu ions ha e been

3.1.1. Gene a ion o he se -up web app
As said be o e, we will no need a se -up documen as a empla e, bu we will
need o ha e a base, a place in which embed ou 3D model, and his will be
he applica ion. Wi h a non- e y ex ended knowledge in HTML language, i is
di icul o design some hing like his, bu o una ely exis s nowadays a huge

as he 3D model, a ables o o he in o ma ion ela ed o he assembly. Once
he documen is o ganized we will ha e o sa e i as a PDF ile and i will be

Fo his he second op ion o implemen ou wo k low, we will use he chosen

We ha e o c ea e a whi e shee documen in a ex edi o like Mic oso Wo d

Fi s o all, we had o con e he STEP model in o U3D ile. Fo his pu pose,
we used he so wa e 3D Tool. The only p oblem his so wa e has is ha i

Once done his, we should s a wo king wi h he LaTeX en i onmen in
