First View of Cortona3D RapidWorkInstruction - the Latest Addition to our Rapid Tools
Cortona RapidWorkInstruction uses your 3D CAD assets and other information to create work instructions, job cards, assembly instructions etc. Avoid re-creation of visuals by drawing direct from engineering CAD and add to that library parts, health and safety information, photos - whatever you need to ensure the work is completed quickly, correctly and safely every time.
In this webinar we will explain how the tool works and integrates with your existing systems and show you both a completed instruction and the steps taken to create it.

How do you benefit from sharing product designs?
Take this Survey from AberdeenGroup
Cortona3D and AberdeenGroup are conducting a study investigating how to better share and leverage product designs outside engineering.
A variety of stakeholders outside engineering can benefit from access to product designs, but providing that information also raises new challenges managing and securing that data. How do you overcome these challenges to effectively improve collaboration and value across the business?
Share your experiences and help us identify the practices that drive the greatest value for both engineering and the enterprise.

Technology Know-How
How to Create a Circular Weld
R
yan McVay from VMH International explains how to create an animation that simulates a staggered circular weld being applied to two parts. Weld and fabrications drawings can be confusing and in many cases the person doing the welding has to interpret weld symbols and identify which parts to apply the weld.
Cortona3D RapidManual can provide you with a tool that allows you to show the welder exactly which pieces need welding and where to locate the welds. This removes the guesswork and will increase repeatability and quality and reduce rework and/or scrap.
