BETA Technologies: FAA Compliance and Collaboration with Anark 3D PDF TDPs

FAA Compliance, Supplier Collaboration, and Speed
When electric aircraft innovator BETA Technologies needed to deliver FAA-compliant engineering data without forcing their supply chain or regulators into proprietary software, they turned to Anark. The result? A 3D PDF solution that accelerated certification, streamlined collaboration, and reinforced their ability to move at startup speed. Discover how BETA overcame the challenges of 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA V6 and composites design publishing  to deliver scalable, visual TDPs that meet the highest MBD standards in aerospace.

The mission was clear: “A central part of our R&D team’s mission is to deliver a robust design and engineering definition package that meets the FAA type certification aerospace regulatory requirements, and which can be leveraged by our supply chain.”

The risk was real: “If we can't produce the TDPs, then we cannot conform those aircraft. It doesn't matter how well the parts are made, or how good the aircraft design is. If we don't have an acceptable TDP for conformity, we're going to be dead in the water.”

The challenges were complex: “This became a major stumbling block for us. No one has really figured out how to robustly and easily translate CATIA V6 or 3DEXPERIENCE datasets.”

Until now...

Read the complete case study to see how Anark and BETA teamed up to solve these challenges and set a new standard for digital compliance and collaboration.
