WHAT’S THE RISK?
Intellectual property is one of
the most critical resources of
any business.
“In the increasingly
globalized economy,
intellectual property
accounts for a growing
share of the value of world
trade, and protecting intellectual property has become a significant global issue.

“What will happen to my intellectual property once it leaves the security of my
corporate environment or server?" "I know my partners have signed a nondisclosure agreement - but how secure is my intellectual property from any
unintentional disclosure?“ In this market place spanning different countries,
different languages, different laws, along with the ever growing need to share and
collaborate in a digital world, what company has time to be concerned about the safety
of their intellectual property in the hands of their own employees let alone employees
of all the other companies we do business with on a daily basis?
Current and former employees are the most common perpetrators of intellectual
property theft… 26% according to US Attorneys
What can be done?
•  Educate your employees
•  Hire security professionals to help
•  Use automated processes to assist in the protection of IP
•  Educate your employees
More specifically, what about my CAD files?
A recent Aberdeen Group report has some suggestions
WWW.ABERDEEN.COM
To protect their investment in product intellectual property, companies should
evaluate their product innovation, product development and engineering processes to
ensure they effectively: • Adopt "intellectual property friendly" approaches to collaboration including
sharing only the amount of design data required by partners to accomplish their
tasks • Ensure that research and development (R&D) discoveries are captured, evaluated
from a business perspective, and safeguarded by executing the appropriate
protection (i.e., patents, trademarks, trade secrets, defensive publishing)
• Protect product data, including implementing secure product data management
(PDM) and enhanced IT security solutions to safeguard product data within the
firewall and digital rights management (DRM) to protect product intellectual
property "in the wild" when designs are shared with others outside of the corporate
firewall
3D BENEFITS VS RISKS
Benefits:
•  With the use of 3D Viewers, non engineering departments can improve
time to market. •  Reading the tessellated 3D models allow for load and file size reduction. •  CAD/CAE and CAM departments can ensure that distribution of 3D data
are exact representations. 3D BENEFITS VS RISKS
Risks:
•  Native CAD data could be considered as one of the most valuable assets
within a company due to the wealth of information
•  Feature Parameters
•  Detailed functional tolerance and annotations
•  Product Manufacturing information (PMI)
•  General dimensioning & Tolerance (GD&T)
•  Dimensions
WHAT ABOUT LIGHT WEIGHT … STEP, IGES, JT?
3D Documents may reveal a great amount of data about a specific product.
IP theft can be accomplished on these lightweight representations by
software-based reverse engineering.
•  Competitors have the ability to look at a published 3D design and
discover the principles of the product and its parts
•  Measurements can be taken
•  Assembly construction can be re-created
•  Rapid prototypes can be created from a 3D Printer from lightweight
models
CAST STUDY EXAMPLE
I make engines
I need to share my engines with everyone
Everyone wants to ensure that my engines fit into the vehicles
I need to share the CAD files with those people, but I don’t want to give the
house away
And I want it to be automated
CASE STUDY EXAMPLE
I service engines
I need to see how this oil pan fits onto the engine block
I am not a CAD user. Nor do I have a powerful computer
How can I see just the area of the models with full detail and limited info about the rest?
