Deep Exploration CAD Edition 6.1 Product Brief Overview

RIGHT HEMISPHERE DEEP EXPLORATION 6 CAD EDITION IS THE END-USER APPLICATION THAT DRIVES THE CREATION OF CONTENT FOR DISTRIBUTION INTO THE VISUAL ENTERPRISE.

With Deep Exploration, existing CAD models are transformed into ultra-lightweight files ready to use in the authoring and publishing of 2D and 3D product graphics, a wide variety of documents, procedures and training curriculum. All these capabilities are supported from a single CAD model utilized within Deep Exploration. Now you can get the most from your investment in CAD design by leveraging the content throughout the Product Lifecycle – from Engineering to Manufacturing, throughout Service and Support, even Marketing and Sales can make use of the content without knowing or licensing CAD tools.

With Deep Exploration, users can make the most of disparate product data available in CAD, PLM, MES and ERP systems to deliver tailored and intelligent product information into commonly used business documents, file formats, and business applications for secure downstream use anytime, anywhere.

Today, design engineering teams are utilizing 2D and 3D CAD applications in combination with Product Data Management systems, simulation programs and a variety of analysis tools to support complex product design modeling, reduce prototype requirements, bring products to market sooner and improve product quality. Unfortunately, this highly valuable product information asset rarely sees its way to other functional areas of the business – instead, it stays locked in engineering systems. But, what if that content were made available to the rest of the enterprise without interrupting engineering to get it or requiring knowledge and licensed access to their CAD systems? Deep Exploration enables that content to be used beyond the engineering organization, throughout the enterprise and even in the supply chain.

Easily convert and author 3D CAD data into interactive 3D visual work instructions, and service and support documents such as PDF, Flex, HTML and Microsoft PowerPoint.

Leveraging Design Content with Powerful, High-Fidelity and Accurate CAD Transformation It all begins with the industry leading Deep Exploration CAD transformation capabilities that are built right into the application. With Deep Exploration, CAD files from more than 80 different 3D CAD or DCC file formats can be converted quickly and easily into accurate, lightweight 2D or 3D product graphics. Deep Exploration CAD Edition translates, optimizes and repairs these models as the initial step in providing this information to users in manufacturing, technical publications, service, support and training, as well as sales and marketing personnel. Now the fun begins!

FACTS & FIGURES

Utilizing these files, the extended organization is able to infuse their processes with visual information, review and collaborate more effectively and produce a wide variety of images, animations, videos and documents to support the design, manufacture, service, technical documentation and promotion of the products.

With Deep Exploration as the optimal source for product graphics, Digital Content Creation applications users (3Ds Max™, Esperient Creator™, LightWave 3D™, Cinema 4D™, Flash, Illustrator™, Maya™, Photoshop™ XSI™ etc.) no longer need to start from scratch by hand modeling complex parts and assemblies, freeing their time for innovation and creativity. The extended functionality in Deep Exploration 6 provides even greater usability with predefined workflow templates and a customizable user interface that brings the right set of application tools for the task at hand to the forefront. Screen design, frame placement and layout are also customizable to maximize productivity and increase the visual working area for the user.

Enabling the Visual Enterprise

Deep Exploration CAD Edition 6.1 Product Brief Deep Exploration gives users simple yet sophisticated functionality to optimize the review, delivery and publishing of visually oriented information.

The User Interface is tailored to help users author a wide range of 2D and 3D product graphics with powerful, yet easy to use, authoring tools. The simplicity of the application broadens the use and utility to a larger community of 2D and 3D content authors and significantly improves their productivity.

Visually enhanced product communication requires a wide variety of 2D and 3D product graphics including: line art for parts catalogs, high quality photorealistic images for marketing brochures and website content, 3D steps and highly interactive 3D animations for shop floor work instructions and IETM-style maintenance procedures, to name a few.

01 >> Design review of entire product models regardless of size and complexity can now be done without “turning off” features or hiding assemblies and parts as CAD systems require. 02 >> Supply chain communications and collaboration are simplified and more efficient with product review and mock-up, engineering change order analysis and requests for quotation. 03 >> Visually enhanced and animated step-by-step manufacturing work instructions, maintenance procedures and a broad host of product related documents, manuals and publications. 04 >> Fast and easy creation of high-resolution images for use in marketing collateral, advertising, presentations, website content and electronic catalogs.

FACTS & FIGURES

Enable your Technicall Illustrators to quickly create S1000D compliant graphics without having to use costly CAD software.

Massive Model Visualization and Search Deep Exploration 6 has redefined the way in which large, complex CAD models can be collaboratively visualized for design review, searched and queried. Now, models of any size can be streamed to users in real-time bringing in all details as users pan, zoom and

navigate the 3D model. The new volume select search capability enables users to define a specific area for detailed information retrieval by simply highlighting the product section of interest.

Visually navigate and search large models, and create and save object selections using the new Volume Select tool to quickly locate items rather than searching by part numbers.

Enabling the Visual Enterprise

Deep Exploration CAD Edition 6.1 Product Brief So there you have it! Deep Exploration 6 CAD Edition: 01 >> The most accurate transformation of CAD data available 02 >> Elegant simplicity in the User Interface without giving up valuable functionality and capability 03 >> The ability to review and search any model and author end deliverables from that model suited to the user needs, formats and processes in functional areas across the enterprise.

Augment High-Volume, 2D and 3D Parts to Publishing Graphics Processes Automating business processes is a proven strategy to accelerate time to market, improve quality and cut costs. Yet typical 2D and 3D graphics publishing processes are characterized by manual steps, points of automation, and limited integration. The result is too few graphics and too much cost. What if you could blend powerful server-based transformation and authoring, with powerful desktop tools that let your creative professionals be more creative? Right Hemisphere's Deep Exploration CAD Edition works together with Deep Server to optimize your part to publication processes for 2D and 3D product graphics. You can define and pilot these processes in Deep Exploration CAD Edition and then automate them in Deep Server. You can automatically prepare graphics with Deep Server and then touch them up with Deep Exploration CAD Edition.

Mix and match as required based on the type of graphic, volume, skills, business rules,and more. - Use Deep Exploration CAD Edition to define and pilot graphics transformation and authoring processes before automating these processes in Deep Server - Use Deep Exploration CAD or Standard Edition to perform final touch-ups on graphics automatically generated by Deep Server - Upload 3D graphics authored in Deep Exploration CAD Edition into Deep Server via Deep Access to automatically generate additional predefined 2D and 3D product graphics - Use Deep Exploration CAD Edition for one-offs and other small projects where Deep Server scale automation is not required - Use Deep Access to manage 2D and 3D graphics authored in Deep Exploration CAD or Standard Edition.
