19 developers brought out from Tandberg Data with a bright idea to merge PC into the monitor. They wanted to build the first PC-terminal on the market.
The CAD industry needed extra power to run high end graphics on the PCs. Rasterex revolutionized the market with their high-end graphic cards and advanced accelerators.
As graphic cards became more of a commodity, market demands changed from hardware to software. With deep knowledge from CAD, Rasterex could quickly shift focus to Raster Imaging, Vectorization and CAD viewing.
Rasterex was quickly recognized as the #1 solution for Raster Editing & Clean-up, and Raster-to-Vector Conversion. Today, 20 years later, still helping enterprises digitizing their scanned paper-drawings.
Version 1.0 of their flagship products RxView and RxHighlight, providing native multi-format viewing and markup capabilities to Architects, Engineers, Constructors and teams world-wide. Over 250 different CAD-, raster- and office-formats supported, eliminating the need for expensive seats of the authoring software.
Viewing and annotation technology made available as ActiveX controls to be embedded inside external EDMS, CMS and ERP solutions, typically made in Delphi, VB and .NET. The very beginning of Rasterex' OEM-focus.
In many industries, like for example mechanical, transportation and manufacturing, 3D is taking over from 2D. It was natural for Rasterex to add the leading 3D formats to the range of supported filed formats.
All installations moved to server, with only a thin ActiveX control handling the client-side operations. A real boost for Rasterex as the preferred built-in viewer and annotation tool. Also for web, though only working within IE.
RxView360 is a zero footprint web-solution based on HTML5, Javascript and CSS. The ability to open any file directly in the browser, makes it a preferred choice for integration with or into ERP, PMS, CRM, EDMS, CMS, FM systems running on any device, over web and in the cloud.
There is a strong wind in the building and construction industry to digitalize the complete lifecycle of a building, using BIM with IFC as the exchange format. Rasterex' powerful graphical engine gives access to model data and provides extensive tools for use in design review, digital take-off, on-site operations, facility management and property management.
RxView360 has everything needed to review and collaborate on visual data anywhere - regardless of file format, platform and device. It is web-based, SaaS-ready, cloud-ready an integrable! Rasterex shall continue to research and develop innovative features to empower visuality throughout the lifecycle of any project, including intelligent linking between graphical content and external project information. We call it Universal Viewing!
