  3. 3D SOLID MODEL TDP’s • TACOM technical data system currently based on 2-D raster images of line drawings. • TACOM is converting to a system based on 3-D solid models. • This 3-D tech data will be used for production, design interface and upgrades, logistics support, configuration management, etc.

  4. FROM THIS TO THIS

  5. Engineering Analysis

  6. Rapid Prototype

  7. 3D SOLID MODELS ALLOW AUTOMATED CREATION OF TECHNICAL MANUAL PAGES

  10. Advantages of 3D TDP’s • Faster design upgrades • Build virtual parts and assemblies in the computer • Infinite viewpoints and exploded views of assemblies • Rapid prototyping • Engineering analysis capabilities (stress, thermal, interference fit, tolerance stack-up, etc.) • Reduced manufacturing lead time and cost • Automated generation and update of line drawings

  11. TACOM-ARDEC 3D TDP SYSTEM • Based on Pro/Engineer Solid Modeling and Pro/Intralink Product Data Management toolset. • Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) of Pro/E drawings will still be document of record (I.e 2-D Drawings are still going to be used). • Other 3D CAD packages (CATIA, SOLIDWORKS, Unigraphics, etc) may be used in the future.

  12. 3D Technical Data Package (TDP) CD-ROMs • 2 CDs are provided with each 3D TDP request • The information on these CDs is presented in 6 formats which are: • Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) files • JEDMICS .C4 Raster Images (contractual TDP) • Pro/Engineer Native 2-Dimensional line drawings • Pro/Engineer Native Solid Models • Standard Format for the Exchange of Product Data (STEP) format representation of solid models • Virtual Reality Markup Language (VRML) representation of solid models • Technical Data Package List (TDPL) and Read-me files are also provided on each CD (contractual TDP) First CD Second CD

  13. How this affects you. • End item and spare parts manufacturers can take advantage of 3D to reduce manufacturing lead time and cost. • R&D contractors may be asked to provide Tech data in 3D Solid Model Format. • Interface issues become easier to solve as more equipment is defined by 3D solids.

  14. Items Converted to 3D • M9 Pistol • M16 Series Rifles • M4 Series Carbines • M203 Grenade Launcher • Mk19 Grenade Machine Gun • Hydra-70 Warhead • 40mm M781 Training Round
