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.

Advantages of 3D TDP’sFaster 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
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.
3D Technical Data Package (TDP) CD-ROMs2 CDs are provided with each 3D TDP request
The information on these CDs is presented in 6 formats which are:
1. Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) files2. JEDMICS .C4 Raster Images (contractual TDP)3. Pro/Engineer Native 2-Dimensional line drawings 4. Pro/Engineer Native Solid Models5. Standard Format for the Exchange of Product Data (STEP) format
representation of solid models6. Virtual Reality Markup Language (VRML) representation of solid models
Technical Data Package List (TDPL) and Read-me files are also provided on each CD
First CD
Second CD
(contractual TDP)
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.
