How do you bridge the massive disconnect between engineering who must develop your products and the rest of your extended enterprise who must source, sell and service your products? The answer is Product Graphics Management (PGM).

Right Hemisphere's Deep Exploration CAD Edition is the world's most advanced Product Graphics Management desktop application.

Unlike CAD visualization tools aimed at engineers or DCC tools that require you to start your product related projects from scratch, Deep Exploration CAD Edition bridges product development and product communication with a high productivity PGM application that lets your graphics artists, technical writers, subject matter experts, and others leverage engineering data you already own.

Right Hemisphere's Deep Exploration CAD Edition lets you:

• Transform CAD models into lightweight product graphics
• Easily author a range of 2D and 3D product graphics
• Publish finished product graphics and documents
• Augment high volume, 2D and 3D graphics processes

Deep Exploration CAD Edition Benefits
	Accelerate time to market
	Reduce costs of creating 2D and 3D graphics
	Improve return on CAD assets

Transform heavy CAD "Solid Geometry" to uniform lightweight polygonal models optimized for 2D and 3D graphics generation including photorealistic renderings, vector and raster images, real-time animations in PDF, HTML, and Microsoft Office™. Unigraphics CAD files supplied by Trenne Technologies, Inc.

Transform CAD Models into Lightweight Product Graphics

Independent viewport rendering controls allow you to easily compare technical illustration rendering styles before publishing the final 2D or 3D graphic.

Augment High-Volume, 2D and 3D Graphics Processes

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. Capabilities include:

• Use Deep Exploration CAD Edition to define and pilot graphics transformation and
  authoring processes before automating processes in Deep Server
• Use Deep Exploration CAD Edition to perform final touch ups on graphics automatically
  generated by Deep Server
• Upload 3D graphics authored in Deep Exploration CAD Edition to Deep Server 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 Server's repository to manage 3D graphics authored in Deep Exploration
  CAD Edition

The Deep Exploration CAD Edition Difference

Deep Exploration CAD Edition is unlike any other product in the market.

Bridge CAD and DCC to Raise Productivity

Unlike engineering tools that force your subject matter experts, graphic artists, technical writers, subject matter experts and others to think like engineers and unlike digital content creation tools that force them to start from scratch, Deep Exploration CAD Edition lets 2D and 3D graphics authors leverage CAD models when authoring and publishing product communications.

Unified Desktop Application to Produce your Illustrations, Images, and Animations

Instead of using one tool for CAD transformation, another for 2D product illustrations, and a third for 3D animation and images, Deep Exploration is a complete 2D and 3D transformation, authoring, and publishing application that supports your diverse product graphics requirements.

Integrate with Deep Server to Optimize High Volume, 2D and 3D Graphics Processes

Unlike today's time and labor intensive manual processes that rely on people and point authoring tools alone, Deep Exploration CAD Edition and Deep Server combine to automate and optimize the 2D and 3D product graphics processes that deliver a range of intermediate graphics, finished graphics, and even finished PDF documents all from accurate, up-to-date engineering data you already own.

Deep Exploration CAD Edition Differentiators
	Bridge CAD and DCC to Raise Productivity
	Unified Desktop Application to Produce your Illustrations, Images, and Animations
	Integrate with Deep Server to Optimize High Volume, 2D and 3D Graphics Processes

Additional Modules, Pricing and System Requirements
