Cortona3D Produces Technical Publications for Less

ParallelGraphics software could transform the way end users access and manage equipment technical data.

by DE Editors | Published March 14, 2008

Productivity gains from ParallelGraphics' (Dublin, Ireland) Cortona3D enabled a cost savings of more than 80 percent by one major U.S. manufacturer of aircraft engines and components to produce its fully digital technical publications.

Cortona3D's open standards enable organizations to reuse existing CAD data or other 3D source material to author lightweight, interactive 3D visualizations, and simulations for more effective support documentation across business functional areas.

The software is available as an Enterprise server based solution or products can be purchased on a modular basis. Whether for operations, service, maintenance, or repair Cortona3D uses animated 3D simulations or explosions to clearly communicate complex procedures and assemblies. The intuitive, easy-to-use 3D color-graphical interface enables the user to interact — zoom, rotate and explode on screen — the model with all the meta data attached.

Cortona3D open standards authoring tools give subject matter experts the power to create interactive, animated 3D product documentation such as maintenance manuals, parts catalogs, and interactive training from existing CAD assets rapidly.

Proven benefits are three times faster production, 80+ percent cost savings, and improved quality.
