Digital, Interactive Documentation for the Shop Floor
Cortona3D is a powerful, flexible and cost-effective document authoring tool that facilitates the creation of digital and interactive documentation for use on the shop floor or by customers.
Flexible, cost effective document authoring with Cortona3D
Cortona3D is an enterprise platform that converts engineering data into interactive 3D technical content for manufacturing, service, and training. It connects directly to CAD and PLM systems to reuse product geometry, structure, and metadata, reducing manual illustration work and keeping documentation aligned with design changes.
Organizations use Cortona3D to create parts catalogs, maintenance manuals, work instructions, and training materials that are visual, accurate, and easy to maintain. The platform supports structured authoring, standards-based delivery, and publishing across digital and print channels as part of the product lifecycle.
Integration with Siemens Teamcenter
Cortona3D can operate as a standalone application or be tightly integrated with Siemens Teamcenter to eliminate the traditional disconnect between product development and technical documentation. In many manufacturing organizations, documentation is still created as a downstream, siloed activity, making it difficult to keep pace with frequent engineering changes, high product variability, and mass customization.
Cortona3D for Teamcenter addresses this by embedding technical authoring directly within the PLM environment, giving authors direct access to engineering geometry, bills of material, and manufacturing data. Integrated with Teamcenter Manufacturing Process Planner, it enables the rapid creation of accurate 2D and 3D parts catalogs, maintenance manuals, training content, and electronic work instructions that stay synchronized across variants and changes, ensuring documentation remains complete, consistent, and up to date throughout the product lifecycle.
Modern products are complex, configurable, and constantly changing, but the information used to build, service, and support them often remains disconnected from engineering.
Cortona3D exists to make engineering data operational beyond design by turning it into governed, visual, and reusable technical content. It brings documentation into the product lifecycle, ensuring instructions, catalogs and training assets stay aligned with configuration and change management. At an enterprise level, this improves execution consistency, reduces risk and allows documentation to scale with product complexity instead of becoming a bottleneck.
It enables:
Lifecycle-aligned technical content
Faster change impact propagation
Scalable service and support delivery
