EOS Solutions, LLC and PROSTEP Partnership Offers Greater Worldwide Access to 3D PDF Products and Services

Two of the largest global providers of 3D PDF products and services, EOS Solutions, LLC and PROSTEP, today announced a partnership that significantly enhances each company's capabilities. EOS Solutions, LLC will add PROSTEP's server-based PDF Generator 3D to its product suite to provide greater flexibility for its enterprise customers, while PROSTEP will begin offering tetra4D's 3D PDF Enrichment products: 3D PDF Animate™, 3D PDF Publish™ and 3D PDF Compare™.

"The growth of new 3D PDF applications to improve critical business processes, such as design review or technical data package delivery, has been very encouraging," commented EOS Solutions, LLC President Steve Prast . "As we continue to help guide manufacturers' 3D model-based workflow process development, PROSTEP PDF Generator 3D will allow some of our clients to automate that process much more efficiently."

EOS Solutions, LLC (www.3dpdfit.com) is already the primary North American source for tetra4D's 3D PDF Converter™ desktop product.  With the addition of PDF Generator 3D, EOS Solutions, LLC now offers the only two 3D PDF conversion products in the world based on Adobe® technologyThe PROSTEP server-based 3D PDF product allows users to generate 3D PDF files automatically and can be fully integrated into business processes and enterprise systems. Designed to process large volumes of data and produce data in a reproducible and reliable fashion, PDF Generator 3D is used by some of the world's largest manufacturers.

Through the addition of the new 3D PDF Enrichment products, PROSTEP can offer its clients a solution for maximizing the power of the documents PDF Generator 3D outputs. Each enrichment product provides users with a user-friendly set of tools for publishing rich, interactive 3D PDF documents.

3D PDF Animate™ enables anyone to create frame by frame animations to illustrate assembly or disassembly, exploded animation views, and kinematics for downstream use in manuals, work instructions, and more. With 3D PDF Publish™ users can enrich 3D PDF documents by adding descriptions and part attributes to a 3D CAD model. This tool is especially useful for adding descriptions to 3D PDFs with step-by-step animated processes, such as directions for assembly and disassembly or service manuals. Rounding out the trio of products, 3D PDF Compare™ enhances the collaborative functionality of 3D PDF by checking which parts of a 3D model have been updated and automatically displaying those specific changes in the most recent version of the 3D model. All three products are available through PROSTEP (www.pdfgenerator3d.com/nc/en.html) as part of the new partnership.
