RapidAuthor
RapidAuthor is a powerful and flexible authoring suite giving organizations the flexibility to produce all support documentation such as interactive parts catalogs, maintenance manuals, training materials, and work instructions.
The tools included in the suite enable organizations to reuse existing CAD data or other 3D source material, to author interactive 3D visualizations for more effective support documentation reducing effort and timelines. Its intuitive interface enables users with no 3D expertise to create compelling simulations and associated text simultaneously.
Each tool in the Cortona3D RapidAuthor suite comes with Cortona2D Editor Pro and wizards that automate major portions of the authoring process to translate data from product source material to technical document content.
RapidAuthor is a modular product consisting so you can purchase only the specific components you need with the flexibility to grow in the future.
