The way that many organizations work today is that they have spent a lot of time and money to improve their products through 3D CAD tools and systems. Once their product is complete, they move into a product documentation process before they can release their product to market. They are typically using illustration programs like Corel or Acrobat or any number of tools to create some type of image or digital photograph.
These techniques are detached from the engineering systems, creating the problem that as the product changes, these manually created deliverables do not stay up to date with the modifications to the design, and are difficult and costly to update. This creates a costly redo situation that pushes out their release to market time -- impacting market share and eroding profitability.
