How to convert PRC (Adobe 3D PDF) to Onshape?


PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

     

PRC

PRC (Product Representation Compact) is probably one of the least known of 3D CAD file formats yet it forms the underpinning for Adobe Acrobat 3D PDF files. It may be considered the “silent younger brother of the more well known U3D file format”. It has a fairly long but little unknown history.

PRC is primarily used as a 3D file format to embed 3D data within a PDF file. It was originally developed by the TTF Group of France whom were purchased by Adobe in 2006. In 2014 PRC became an ISO published standard.

Okino's PRC geometry import converter reads in native PRC 3D CAD files. It will also extract PRC and U3D files from within any chosen page of an Adobe 3D PDF file. It is an intelligent and well implemented importer for all forms of complex source PRC CAD file data, including the import and processing of 3D mesh and BREP (solids) geometry, assembly hierarchy (incl. intelligent “proto node” handling), materials (with adherence to the PRC father/son inheritance rules), 2D bitmapped texture maps and meta data.

     

Onshape

PTC's Onshape is a CAD software modelling package accessed via SASS. It allows teams to collaborate on a single shared design, the same way multiple writers can work together editing a shared document via cloud services. It is primarily focused on mechanical CAD (MCAD) and is used for product and machinery design across many industries, including consumer electronics, mechanical machinery, medical devices, 3D printing, machine parts, and industrial equipment.

Converting from OnShape to Okino software can be done with native SolidWorks files (preferred), STEP AP214 (preferred), IGES, Parasolid x_t, Rhino .3dm and COLLADA.

Converting from Okino software to OnShape can be done with JT, Rhino .3dm and Wavefront OBJ.
