Corel and Right Hemisphere Partner to Bring Complete 3D Technical Illustration Solution to Market

Corel Corporation announced a partnership with Right Hemisphere®. Corel will incorporate a special version of Right Hemisphere’s Deep Exploration™ Standard Edition software into its next release of Corel DESIGNER® Technical Suite. The addition of Right Hemisphere’s Deep Exploration software will give Corel users the ability to transform 3D CAD models and publish them into accurate 2D graphics without having to purchase additional CAD software.

Available in two versions, Right Hemisphere’s Deep Exploration is a client software application that allows its users to automatically transform, author and publish lightweight 2D and 3D product graphics using existing engineering CAD design data and other digital content. The Deep Exploration Standard Edition version automatically translates, optimizes and repairs a variety of popular 3D graphics file formats. The Deep Exploration CCE version offers support for over 80 file formats, including all of the file formats employed by major CAD applications such as CATIA®, Inventor®, Pro/ENGINEER®, SolidWorks®, and Unigraphics® NX. Deep Exploration CCE can also automatically publish 3D interactive Adobe® PDF® files.

“Corel has had a long and distinguished history of providing enterprises with leading graphics solutions for technical illustration work,” said Michael Lynch, CEO of Right Hemisphere. “Right Hemisphere’s technology is a natural complement to the features and functionality in the Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite. With our 3D format support and our automatic transform and publish capabilities integrated into this next generation version of the product, Corel DESIGNER users can look forward to getting even better leverage out of their existing 3D assets and spend less time and money creating their 2D technical illustrations.”

Corel DESIGNER® Technical Suite is the software of choice for businesses that rely on technical illustrations and diagrams to communicate the strengths of their products and services. Unmatched by any other technical graphics package, the suite provides file compatibility while delivering precision tools for illustration, bitmap-to-vector tracing, and professional photo editing. Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite also offers an optimized workflow, multilanguage support, and easy network deployment and is trusted by companies known worldwide for technical design excellence.

“We are pleased to partner with Right Hemisphere to offer Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite users another important tool to streamline their technical illustration workflow and complete projects more efficiently,” said Nick Davies, Vice President and General Manager, Graphics and Productivity for Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite. “By combining the ingenuity behind Right Hemisphere’s Deep Exploration with Corel DESIGNER Technical Suite, Corel is able to continue its commitment to offering the most powerful, precise and comprehensive technical illustration suite on the market.”
