TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION
Digitize your industrial technical documentation with Cortana3D
Transform CAD and PLM data into interactive manuals, work instructions, spare parts catalogs, and 3D technical training. We help manufacturers and engineering firms reduce documentation costs, accelerate product launches, and improve service and maintenance experiences with Cortona3D solutions integrated with PLM.
THE CHALLENGE
Traditional technical documentation is holding you back.
Many industrial organizations still rely on manual processes to create and maintain their documentation: maintenance manuals, assembly instructions, spare parts catalogs, technical training materials, and operating procedures. While products evolve rapidly, documentation often falls behind.

High documentation costs
Errors due to outdated information
Product launch delays
Difficulty in keeping versions updated
What is Cortona3D?
An advanced platform for interactive technical documentation based on engineering data.
Cortona3D reuses existing information from CAD and PLM systems to generate visual and interactive technical documentation. From 3D models, bills of materials, and product data, organizations can create:
Interactive technical manuals
Digital work instructions
Illustrated spare parts catalogs
Immersive technical training
Maintenance procedures
Augmented reality experiences
