3D Visualizations Take Center Stage at the 2007 Paris Air Show
Long recognized as a pinnacle trade event for the aerospace industry, the 2007 Paris Air Show will be home to a new breed of advanced 3D component visualization presentations developed with the Anark Media Platform v. 4.0. These realistic 3D visual applications will enable Anark's aerospace customers to more effectively communicate the features and benefits of their latest product offerings to their customers and partners.
Each application utilizes the power of Anark's lightweight interactive 3D technology to effectively highlight new product capabilities for a variety of aircraft components built by market leaders such as Pratt & Whitney, Moog, and Esterline. These companies will utilize a wide array of Anark-based interactive marketing solutions to demonstrate the functionality and benefits of numerous new products at the upcoming Paris Air Show, June 18-24 at the Le Bourget Exhibition Center.
Esterline is incorporating products from six manufacturing divisions. This array of products has been integrated into one interactive presentation which allows users to individually identify the breadth of Esterline's product offering along with individual components by business unit or by their location inside of a complete aircraft system.
Moog will highlight a national commercial aircraft configured with precision motion control actuators and electronics. With this presentation, Moog can visually display a complete "stick-to-tail" aircraft flight control system, detailed views of individual components, and how multiple components combine to affect an aircraft in flight.
Pratt & Whitney will showcase their next-generation engine technology with a 3D application dedicated to demonstrating the Gear TurbofanTM engine. With this 3D presentation, Pratt & Whitney is able to visually display the advanced new technologies that have been integrated into this engine design for the next generation of commercial jets.
Anark delivered these customer facing applications by transforming original Computer-Aided Design (CAD) product engineering data assets and transforming them into a lightweight, IP protected, format appropriate for PC-based interactive 3D presentations.
" Anark has a long-standing commitment to helping leading aerospace manufacturing companies communicate more effectively with advanced interactive 3D applications for marketing communication, training, technical publications and product configuration," said Stephen Collins, Anark CEO. "We are excited to help innovative market leaders of the caliber of Pratt and Whitney, Esterline and Moog to demonstrate the capabilities and benefits of their new products in a more engaging and economical manner than with physical prototypes or historical 2D digital solutions."
