SOLIDWORKS Composer - Material Handling

SOLIDWORKS Composer helps streamline how you create your product communications. SOLIDWORKS Composer is associative, you can automatically update any changes you make to the CAD models in your technical communication deliverables.

Enhance product communication and marketing collateral:

With SOLIDWORKS Composer, you can quickly and easily create:

• Detailed views
• Exploded views
• High-resolution images
• Technical illustrations
• Interactive animations
• Interactive bills of materials and parts lists

Compete for more business:

Today, visuals are more important than ever:

• Demonstrate products more effectively with interactive storyboards.
• Create more lifelike visuals and eliminate the need for physical prototypes in creating product marketing materials.

Help reduce errors and ensure that deliverable get to market faster:

• Start documentation earlier in the design process, and update it faster when design changes occur. 
• Create interactive 3D content that can be viewed by anyone with the free SOLIDWORKS Composer Player. 
• Add interactive graphics to training materials. 
• Create high-resolution, shaded renderings with a three-dimensional appearance for presentations and brochures.

No CAD knowledge required:

Detailed training materials, in-depth help files, online tutorials, and user forums ensure that even non-technical staff can start publishing professional 3D visuals almost instantly.

 

How Industrial Equipment Manufacturers can create Technical Manuals Faster and Easier?

Introduction

Preparing Technical Documentation is one of the challenging task for Content creators. They tend to create clear, simple and accurate documents which implies for their products.

Usually step by step Documentation will make it easy to understand problems compound in Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul Organizations where each Industrial Equipment must be maintained by maintenance department.

Content creators tend to focus and crush their brain on document work word by word, pictures, symbols and shapes. However, small error can cause severe actions for users. So, what is the solutions for those heck and tense? Let’s move further!

Free-up Mind and apply SOLIDWORKS COMPOSER

SOLIDWORKS COMPOSER allows you to quickly create 2D and 3D graphical content to clearly explain and present your products or process.

The tools let you work directly from 3D CAD data to create high quality illustrations, photo realistic images and interactive animations and to import design data.

How it is helpful and what for?

1. For “Work Instructions”

• Create Work Instructions in 3D 
• Replace 2D drawings with 3D Animations 
• Reduce production errors 

2. For “Marketing Presentations”

• 3D Software for marketing 
• Enable Marketing to create animations and graphics for: 

• Pre-Sales demonstrations
• Interactive animations for trade shows
• Technical brochures
• On-line interactive part catalogs

3. For “Service Instructions”

      Field Service Instructions

• Replace text with graphics 
• Replace documents with videos 

• Produce videos at lower costs
• Reduce training costs

Summary

1. Non-technical users can also easily accommodate and work. 
2. Even more complex parts can depict clear and effective. 
3. Associativity: Changes are updated automatically in created contents. 
4. Productivity is maximized very fast because of user interface tools. 
5. Demonstrate products more effectively with interactive storyboards. 
6. Highlight key differentiators with detailed views, glow eff etc and transparent components. 
7. Enter into Market very fast through precise documents in the design stage itself. 
8. In simple terms don’t want to wait for the product to be over, work concurrently in design and content creation.

 

SOLIDWORKS Composer – For Effective Communication of your Machinery design

Quickly and easily create Technical Communication Collaterals

With SOLIDWORKS Composer, anyone in your company can quickly create complete technical communication without CAD experience. Since Composer works directly with your 2D and 3D CAD data, users can extract information directly from the source, manipulate, annotate and publish the finished work in a fraction of time. In a few clicks you can produce Technical illustrations & documentation automatically.

Challenges faced in Preparing Technical Communication Collaterals

• Re-work due to Design Changes and updating the Visual Instructions 
• Maintaining the hierarchy of documentation and Updating the Projects 
• Less availability of Illustrative tools to create eye-catching Technical Content. 
• Repeated Training needed to New Resources in Creating Technical Communication 
• Content creators are often working with different, cobbled together tools, including 2D CAD drawings, digital photography, and file translators. 
• Consumes more time & more steps to get to a finished document. 

Benefits of Composer

• Create detailed visual assembly/dis-assembly instructions that don’t require re-creation from Scratch, even if the Design Changes. 
• Generate a interactive Bill of Material (BOM) that automatically updates with Updation of your Project 
• Create beautiful animations & Images for product CD’s, Brochures, Manuals or online instructions. 

• Illustration Engineers can build Technical documentation in parallel with product design & development, with less training. 
• Create high-resolution, shaded renderings with a three dimensional appearance for presentations and brochures. 
• Clear product documentation 
• Create more life-like visuals and eliminate the need for physical prototypes in creating product marketing materials.
