Subject: Semi-rotary hand water pump – Wing Pump – 3D PDF
![]()
Aim:
To visualise a product “Water Pump” in an engineering/illustrative format, showing the various parts of the water pump and visualising the assembly and disassembly process in a visual and guided manner. The concept was to present a method that could replace regular paper based manuals/instructions with an interactive and easy to use 3D application that could transcend multiple platforms and be easily accessed by a wide user base, in this case the versatile and widely used Adobe PDF format.
Source data:
The project start with reusing 3D CAD data of the product. The CAD system used for modelling this product was CATIA V5.
The procedure of disassembly base only on designers imagination but present the area of use this kind of applications.

Nice! What program did you use to do the animations?
Thanks. There are many ways to create the interactive application like that inside PDF. The main software that I used was Deep Exploration. But the process always depend on reference data.
