Abstract: In real-world industrial applications, effective communication of complex product designs at all reporting phases is a significant challenge. Traditional reporting methods that rely on CAD (Computer-Aided Design) models suffer from limitations such as large file sizes, software compatibility issues, and the need for user expertise. To address these challenges, this study proposes a novel approach using PPT (Microsoft PowerPoint) to present 3D model information, providing a lightweight alternative to traditional CAD-centric reporting. Using CATIA as an example, the study first presents techniques for automatically adjusting camera parameters and calculating image coordinates of 3D model elements. screenshots of the CAD model are then embedded into PPT slides and annotated with relevant details. The result is that a PPT file with model images and annotations can express a product in detail. This approach streamlines information transfer and improves product accessibility throughout the product design cycle, and provides a tangible reference for industrial applications.
