Tech Soft 3D HOOPS Publish 2017
HOOPS Publish enables engineering applications to publish product information for use across the entire product lifecycle for almost any workflow.
Tech Soft 3D, a tool developer for software teams, has announced the release of a tool to publish 3D data in multiple formats for consumption.
The HOOPS Publish 2017 software update allows data to be converted into a range of files including native 3D PDF, HTLM and a number of standard CAD formats, such as STEP AP 242, JT 9.5 and 3MF.
HOOPS Publish enables engineering applications to publish product information for use across the entire product lifecycle for almost any workflow. These include archiving, interoperability, visualisation and collaboration, work instructions, smart reports and technical data packages.
With methods of data consumption having gone through a significant change over the last decade, Tech Soft 3D has sought to deliver a programme which allows the modern engineer to convert data as they have come to expect.
“The rise of web and mobile technology, new standards and free readers have changed how people expect to consume data,” said Eric Vinchon, HOOPS Product Director. “People want to get data out of their applications and consume it throughout the product lifecycle. Hoops Publish makes that possible. Hoops Publish provides software development teams everything they need to add the output capabilities their customers expect in their applications.”
Now, users can publish a rich 3D model with product manufacturing information (PMI) in several standard CAD formats. HOOPS Publish also generates interactive PDFs with 3D engineering graphics, tables, lists, buttons, drawing among other features. Ultimately, the software programme allows data created by the user’s application to be shared and consumed more broadly and efficiently.
The developer of HOOPS Publish, Tech Soft 3D, is a leading global provider of development tools that help software teams deliver successful applications, as well as the creator of the 3D format that is part of the PDF standard. Established in 1996, and with offices in three different continents, the company’s toolkit products power nearly 500 unique applications running on hundreds of millions of computers worldwide. Meanwhile, its tetra4d brand of end-user products are used by many of the top manufacturing and construction firms for converting CAD data into 3D PDF.
