Are there any plans for 3d PDF Export?  
We have to use this format for exchanging models.

Thanks in advance, Florian

What does a „3d pdf“ mean, actually?

Something like this export function: [Saving 3D Models as 3D PDF Files - 2022 - SOLIDWORKS Inspection Help](https://help.solidworks.com/2022/English/SWInspection/t_saving_3d_models_pdf_files.htm)

There‘s No way to do that yet. But, I suspect this type of export would only be used in a certain small part of Shapr3d users, so probably, this isn’t going to be developed for a time. You should try to find a workaround.

Good Luck!

I thought so… The workaround is sharing via the Shapr3D link. Thanks for clearifing.

Perhaps this can work for you

> I agree! GLB is also the best file format for importing 3d files into Microsoft Word / Powerpoint etc., which is great functionality! In my company I am the “3d guy” and GLB would be great for collegues who want to use the models for marketing purposes etc. Export support for GLB please \<3
