01
Past the PDF
A drawing shows one angle, picked years ago by someone who already knew the answer. Give readers the model and they can turn it until the part faces them.
Manuals people can follow
Daedum
Product manuals built from the real geometry, one step at a time, in a browser. Readers turn the part over and see the fastener you are talking about instead of squinting at a photo someone took once. When the product changes, you edit the step that changed and everyone has the new version.

02
One place to keep it right
Authoring, revisions and publishing all happen in the same workspace. No exporting a manual, mailing it round, and losing track of which copy is current.
03
It arrives in their language
One manual holds a version of every step per language, and the viewer itself is translated into ten. A reader opens it and it is simply in their own.
WORKFLOW
From CAD file to published manual.
Four stages, and none of them is a dead end. Documentation usually goes stale because bringing it up to date means starting the whole thing over. Here it means opening the step that is wrong.
IMPORT
Bring in the CAD
Upload the STEP file. It becomes a model you can work with in the browser, still carrying the part names your engineers gave it.
AUTHOR
Write the steps
Set the camera, show the parts this step is about, hide the ones it is not. Add the note, the spec, the warning that belongs there.
PUBLISH
Send it out
A link, or an iframe in your own product page or support portal. Your reader needs a browser and nothing else.
REVISE
Publish the next version
Change the step that is wrong and publish again. The previous version stays reachable, so nobody is stranded by an update.
Interactive manual output
PLATFORM
The real viewer, right here.
Everything in the frame is a published Daedum manual running the code a reader of yours would get. Drag the model. Step through it. None of it is a screenshot.
Embeds anywhere
One iframe drops it into a product page, a help article or an internal wiki. Nothing to install and no viewer to download.
Every revision is kept
Ship a change and older units do not lose their manual. A reader still holding last year’s model reaches the version that matches it.
Link to any step
Sections and steps each have their own address. A support reply can point at step four of the hydraulics section rather than at the manual.
LANGUAGES
One manual, every market you sell into.
Translations live inside the manual rather than beside it as separate documents that drift apart. The steps, the geometry and the structure are shared; only the words change, and the reader picks which ones they get.
The viewer speaks it too
Buttons, navigation and part labels ship translated in ten languages, so the frame around your words is never the odd one out.
You can see what is missing
The maker counts translated and untranslated steps for each language, so a half-finished translation is a number you can look at instead of a surprise.
You choose what a gap does
An untranslated step can fall back to your default language or stay out of that edition entirely. Per manual, your call.
