Cortona3D Company Overview Automating Technical Communications   Cortona3D software solutions are the market leader in the automated production of technical communications. The Rapid product family streamlines the authoring of technical documentation as aftermarket parts, service, support and training materials are produced from existing CAD in one third of the time at as little as 12.5% of cost.   The inclusion of interactive 3D content such as simulations of procedures and exploded views of parts in operations/maintenance manuals, spare parts lists, and eLearning applications improves the quality and the usability of these deliverables which in turn increases service revenues and workforce productivity whilst reducing errors.

Products Overview.

RapidCatalog

Interactive 3D Parts Catalogs, Electronic Spare Parts Catalogs, Online Parts Catalogs

 

A laborious spare parts catalog development process that is error prone and does not enable the user to easily identify the relevant part and associated data can result in escalating sales support costs and loss of revenue to aftermarket competition.

 

Cortona3D RapidCatalog is the first out-of-the-box toolkit for the fast and easy production of 3D Illustrated Parts Catalogs (IPC) / Electronic Parts Catalogs (EPC) / Online Interactive Parts Catalogues. RapidCatalog uses 3D ‘explosions’ to communicate complex assemblies that everyone can understand. Its interactive environment with drill down navigation improves the user experience and puts an end to ordering and purchasing errors, inefficiency and lack of productivity.

Benefits:  Increase aftermarket revenue and customer loyalty Cut parts catalog production and maintenance costs Minimize customer errors and product returns Generate 2D images of your 3D explosions Attach existing CGM images to your parts catalog Minimize support costs as users can self-serve Increase competitive advantage on ‘total product’ Lower order processing costs Improve productivity

RapidManual

3D Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs), Operating Procedures and Assembly  Work Instructions

 

Communicating complex procedures to a global market using traditional methods is laborious, costly and error prone.

 

Cortona3D RapidManual is the first out-of-the-box toolkit that automates the fast and easy production of 3D Interactive Electronic Technical Manuals (IETMs) / Operating Procedures / Assembly Work (Installation) Instructions. RapidManual uses animated 3D simulations to clearly communicate complex mechanical procedures. 3D manuals expand know-how, minimizing translation issues and improving information retention.

 

Benefits: Concurrent product and documentation development speeds time to market Improved manuals increase revenue opportunities and customer loyalty Re-using existing resources cuts costs massively Attach existing S1000D documentation to auto. gen. your animations A 2D CGM image of your 3D view can be generated  if required Share outputs and re-use content in downstream processes Achieve compliance and aid safe usage Easily add audio to your animation

RapidLearning

Improve Training with Interactive 3D Learning

 

Research has proven time and again that interactive 3D learning improves comprehension, retention and on-the-job performance and costs less than product mock-ups, physical simulations, and other active learning approaches.

 

Cortona3D RapidLearning is the first out-of-the-box learning toolkit for producing digital interactive training applications using animated 3D simulations. It combines existing CAD assets with training documentation to generate visually realistic, interactive learning. RapidLearning guides trainers through the production process, prompting them to illustrate each step of the training scenario with a corresponding 3D animation and build a complete RapidLearning simulation.

 

Benefits Optimize return on investment (ROI) for training Cut training program development and distribution costs Accelerate training timelines Lower localization costs Increase effectiveness of learning Attach existing S1000D doc. to auto. gen. your animations Generate a 2D CGM image of your 3D view Improve safety Train in the field LMS and SCORM compliance Add audio to your animation easily

RapidTag

Is the first solution that gives users in the field an intuitive way to attach feedback information to a specific part of equipment. By interacting directly with online, digital 3D models, users can attach information to parts/assemblies in the 3D viewer and send it back to a central data repository for analysis and troubleshooting. RapidTag makes collecting customer feedback on operation, maintenance and equipment repair easier and faster than ever before.

 

Users can attach feedback to specific parts/assemblies in the 3D object. This data goes to central 3D repository for analysis and troubleshooting.

 

RapidWorkInstruction

Is the first ‘out of the box’ toolkit for fast and easy production of

digital interactive work instructions, job cards and assembly instructions. It reuses content direct from engineering CAD enabling the rapid creation of the MBOM and bill of process. Manufacturing engineers can quickly and easily create 3D animations ensuring that assembly workers, even in off-shore locations, know what to do and how to do it – a visual explanation delivered in a work instruction saves time and increases effectiveness.

 

Multiple types of information can be combined and accessed including CAD drawings, E-BOM and M-BOM, 3D models, data sheets library parts, health and safety information, photos etc. to ensure the work is completed quickly, correctly and safely every time
