September 2025 Phoenix, Arizona:
BETA Technologies presented with Anark's Patrick Dunfey at GPDIS 2025 where we shared our joint success story. This important Aerospace and Defense industry event includes key customers and partners such as Boeing, Northrup Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Honeywell, Collins, WIPRO ITI and more.
BETA Technologies' Stephan de Klein presented on how they overcame the challenges of 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA V6 and composites design publishing to deliver scalable, visual Model-Based Technical Data Packages that meet the highest standards in aerospace. Stephen is a PLM Team Member, MBD, Type Certification and composites materials subject matter expert. The 3D PDF Technical Data Packages were for FAA Type Certification, a challenge BETA described as a “existential milestone”.
The work with BETA was critical for FAA certification as an emerging aircraft manufacturer, and was a major product data challenge for them. BETA develops electric vertical aircraft and they needed a way to deliver detailed, certification-ready engineering packages to the FAA. In addition, these same TDPs could be used for a fast-moving supply chain, without requiring recipients to procure expensive CAD tools or interpret proprietary file formats. Attendees gained insight into why CAD-neutral, visually rich 3D TDPs are essential to FAA type certification and how the publishing challenges from 3DEXPERIENCE were addressed.
Note that MANY of the same challenges, especially with composite structures, exists for all other Model Based systems that Anark supports such as NX, Creo, SolidWorks, Inventor and more. We can enable Technical Data Publications in 3D PDF or the Anark Collaborate platform that enables on-rem or SaaS hosted, browser based TDPs that enable advanced methods of sharing, control and collaboration with technical data items that can include MBD CAD, Legacy Drawings, Documents, Images, Videos and more.
See the 10 minute video from the event that explains how Beta is progressing or we also have a BETA Success Story download. For any additional needs, please reach out and Contact Anark!
Digital Engineering Solutions (DOD Instruction 5000.97) for Aerospace and Defense
Anark continues to break ground on how a Digital Engineering solution built on a manufacturing collaboration platform addresses 3 foundational requirements of DOD Instruction 5000.97 including:
-
Making data visible, accessible, understandable, linked, trustworthy, interoperable, and secure.
-
Informing decision-makers throughout a system’s life cycle by providing the capability to access, integrate, and transform data into actionable information while supporting a feedback loop over the life cycle.
-
Powering digital collaboration value including government-to-government, contractor-to-government, and contractor-to-supplier digital collaboration, and more.
This was a hot topic at the event and many of these exact concepts of DoDI 5000.97 were proven out by the recently completed OIB Modernization Project with MxD, Picatinny Arsenal, and Rock Island Arsenal as sponsored by OSD MANTECH.

Anark continues to drive forward with Boeing as they utilize the Anark Technical Data Collaboration platform & Open Standards to Deploy a Connected & Collaborative Digital Enterprise. Boeing applies Anark as part of their initiatives for improved data access and collaboration and we provide advanced content management, data distribution, & visual collaboration throughout the extended enterprise. We continued the conversations to expand the use of the Anark platform with Boeing members at the event.
