TTF – more information
TTF SA, is a leading company in CAD data interoperability and Digital Mock up solutions. Back in November 2005 they announced a new version of PRC II – their Data Compression technology.
“The quality and power of PRCII is not only its compression technology. It is also because it is based on our geometrical kernel that takes into account all the mathematical definitions we have seen since 15 years in the different cad packages we use. When making a PRC file only the tools provided by TTF are used, unlike other
solutions which need products that are coming from different companies and have different quality and releases over time.” said Didier Guillaud, VP applications.
“We now have many customers that use our PRC format to exchange files on the web. As PRC is a geometrical format, they translate the PRC into their own software and then manufacture the part, keeping the necessary accuracy” said Jean-Luc Brocard, President, Support and Quality team.
PRCII like PRC will keep the history tree alive and of course will retain the feature based definition. We can easily imagine that in the next future, we will rebuild the PRC tree and feature into a target cad package in order to make featured based translators from the PRC format. This will be interesting when dealing with very big assemblies that you want to send live through the internet for collaboration or project review. PRCII format could also be crypted to ensure the privacy of the data over the web.
