3DVIA Composer
3DVIA Composer helps teams create everything from training and service manuals to marketing materials.
3DVIA Composer is a
desktop application for the creation of product documentation contents directly
from 3D digital product data. It allows you to quickly
and easily create content for assembly
instructions, service procedures, technical
illustrations, interactive 3D animations,
training materials, and more.
With 3DVIA Composer, companies realize substantial savings in time and rework
costs by not having to recreate or redo product documentation when there are
changes to the product. In addition, 3DVIA Composer saves translation costs by
enabling more graphics and less text in your documents and improves a wide range
of product communication with 3D animations and with the ability to create interactive
product documentation.
Because product documentation is a recurring process, 3DVIA Composer makes it
possible to automatically regenerate documentation contents when there are changes
to the product. 3DVIA Composer also saves time and money by allowing content
creators to use whatever partial product information is currently available. As the
latest product data is made available, 3DVIA Composer - which is built on a lightweight,
open, XML-based architecture - can apply the new information seamlessly
and create updated documentation.
3DVIA Composer reads 3D CAD data from SolidWorks®, CATIA®, Pro/
ENGINEER®, and many other standard CAD formats, and can create a highly
compressed lightweight file format. 3DVIA Composer outputs many standard file
formats, including Microsoft® Office, PDF, HTML, SVG, CGM, and more, which permits
users to integrate 3DVIA Composer-generated contents into existing product
documentation.
The long-standing, expensive, manual methods of product publishing,
like elaborate text documents, producing sketches from photographs, and waiting
for technical illustrations, are a thing of the past.
Once documentation contents are created in 3DVIA Composer, content creators
have a wide range of additional capabilities, including the ability to permit or deny
certain types of access to the deliverables, the ability to protect any 3D contents
from misappropriation, and the option to distribute the deliverables as discrete
outputs and/or with the free, high-performance 3DVIA Player utility.
Use 3DVIA Composer to create:
• Assembly/Disassembly instructions
• Technical illustrations
• User manuals
• Parts catalogs
• Field service manuals
• Web-based catalogs
3DVIA Composer is CAD-independent
publishing software that directly reads
a number of CAD files from:
• SolidWorks
• CATIA
• Pro/ENGINEER
• STEP
• IGES
