Re: 3D Reshaper to 3D PDF
Hi Phil,
Did you test the solutions proposed by Daniel and others? Did it work out?
I 'd be very interested in some feedback about these!
Especially, I'd be interested in feedback about the amount of triangles a 3Dpdf can store!
Also, I'd be interested in your feedback about the free viewer that allows you to show the 3d data you produced to your customers.
Final idea: a 3d mesh can also be exported to vrml format, which can then be visualized with free plugins for internet browser. Would that fit your needs?
Thanks,

Re: 3D Reshaper to 3D PDF
On my side I've just tested the U3D-2-PDF tool (based on Miktex+Meshlab).
It works like a charm on a 350,000 triangles mesh:
http://www.cloudcompare.org/pdf/stanford_armadillo.pdf [9.4 Mb]
The file is much smaller than the original STL file (16.9 Mb - but STL is one of the most stupid format that has ever existed so it's not a good reference . It works well in Adobe reader, but not in the Chrome plugin for instance...
When I tried a 850,000 triangles mesh, it took ages to do the conversion (so I had to stop, I need to get some sleep .
