• Infrastructure availability—Existing systems already support PDF, so there is no need to integrate more software applications.
• True neutrality—PDF is the ISO-32000 standard for document management, which assures your invest- ment in 3D PDF will be protected.
• Value—No other 3-D data exchange and visualization platform offers as much for such little risk.
ME: What industries can best leverage this technology to improve their manufacturing processes? Prast: 3D PDF technology can improve efficiencies at every
stage of the manufacturing process. From an interactive 3-D bill of materials for suppliers to generate quotes from, to 3-D work instructions with step-by-step animations for workers on the shop floor, I think this technology can benefit any industry. However, I would point out aerospace, defense and energy because successfully improving visualization and creating more efficient documentation processes can have a profound effect
on business. You look at what Boeing has done with 3D PDF on its 787 Dreamliner program, creating a global repository of 3D PDFs from their CAD data. There are approximately 75,000 3D PDFs downloaded every week at Boeing. That speaks to how valuable of a collaborative tool it can be in the aerospace indus- try, where visualization and documentation is so important. ME: Your company offers 3D PDF e-learning systems
for manufacturers. Describe these and what they offer manufacturers. Prast: Along with being the exclusive distributor of 3D PDF Converter in North America, we are the preferred provider of training, support and services. To the best of my knowledge, there isn’t anyone else in the world publishing learning mate- rial for 3D PDF. Our experience working with organizations like BAE Systems, General Dynamics Land Systems and the US Army to configure 3D PDF solutions to their manufacturing processes provided us with a deep understanding of what us- ers really needed to know to maximize the technology.

The Truth Is: A probe may be an effective way to verify tool lengths between cuts, but it is not the most efficient way to set your tools. A “guess-and-check” process for making adjustments wastes valuable cutting time. A Speroni MAGIS Tool Presetter can verify runout, measure length, diameter, radius, and other geometries using measuring icons, and it can also inspect tools for wear. Spend less time adjusting and more time cutting.

The notch-free nut design of our Mega Micro Chuck prevents vibration at high speeds for superior balance and concentricity. It not only eliminates whistling noise and coolant splattering, but also assures increased strength of the nut itself. The super slim taper design of the body offers added strength for micro end milling, and reduces interference in long reach applications.
