We witnessed a plethora of 3D file formats in the last decade of our work in visualization. Some are rich, but proprietary on the other hand. Some are readable, others have SDKs to access. Amongst all these, 3D PDF has emerged as a leading format which contains the benefits of most of them. The main advantages of 3D PDF format are :
Our 3DPDF Viewer extends the use of 3D PDF to mobile devices by providing the user ability to view and interact with 3D PDF data directly on iOS and Android operating devices.
We really hope that you all will find our 3D PDF Viewer application very useful in helping you share your 3D PDF files with many more designers now.
We still have plenty of exciting features to add to our app. Amongst them, few are:-

“We routinely need to share 3D models with our customers, and ProtoTech’s 3D PDF Converter for Fusion is the best tool we’ve found so far! Most of our customers don’t have any access to 3D software; in this case, a 3D PDF is the best way to show them the designs we created!”

“I have been learning Autodesk Fusion 360 to support my desire to 3D print – and wanted a way to share CAD files with others – I found ProtoTech Solutions 3D PDF Exporter to work fantastically, and also their 3D PDF viewer for my Android works great. However, even better than how well the products work, their customer service was fantastic, as they responded to multiple questions I had daily !! I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone.”

“ProtoTech Solutions’ OBJ Exporter for Inventor is the most reliable, quick, and easy solution to a high-grade OBJ export from Inventor.”
– Griffin Thomas, Director of Digital Engineering, Ace Vision Group, Inc.
“I have worked in the field of Industrial and Architectural Design for 40 years, and have witnessed numerous 3d viewering applications come and go. The most encouraging was the export to interactive .pdf 3d formats allowing anyone with an Acrobat Viewer or .pdf viewer to interact with the design intent in an immersive way.
Support of these programs was often not good, and the cost was also prohibitive, but the people at ProtoTech Solutions have made this an attractive package as to price point, and their on going support has made it an integrated and highly functional part of our design process and for development to RPD output.”
– Paul L. James, Design Source International

“I bought ProtoTech’s 3D PDF Exporter plug-in for Inventor 2 years ago and have loved it ever since. When Inventor came with its own converter built in I considered switching over to that. I convert large models for viewing by my clients. The In-built Inventor converter takes much longer…even with the most simplified settings. The 3DPDF Exporter plug-in from ProtoTech Solutions is way more refined and handles large models with ease. It is easy to use, intuitive and makes smaller output files with great quality. Plus the makers of the program give it exceptional support.”
