Constantin von Bernuth reported on how Continental Automotive will be using PROSTEP's 3D PDF technology to do away with 2D drawings completely when collaborating with suppliers in the future. A major advantage of the 3D PDF-based solution is that 3D models and PMI information can be viewed using the normal Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. Timo Trautmann, a product manager at PROSTEP, provided participants with information about the latest enhancements to the 3D PDF solution, which include for example the option of rendering models on the server and transferring only the views, thus allowing models to be displayed on mobile end devices.
Customer requirements are a key driver for the ongoing development of PROSTEP's products. At the start of the event, Udo Hering, our head of product management, looked back over the many customer requirements and ideas that have been incorporated in the software in the two years since the last TECHDAY was held. At the end of the event, a number of new suggestions, collected and discussed within the relaxed framework of the creative workshop PROSTEP interAKTIV, were added to our to-do list.
I look forward to continuing these discussions with you at the next TECHDAY and, of course, also hope to be able to welcome new participants to this event.
