ADD A NEW DIMENSION TO YOUR TECHNICAL COMMUNICATIONS

SOLIDWORKS COMPOSER

TECHNICAL COMMUNICATIONS
SolidWorks Composer helps your organization, including nontechnical users, leverage 3D CAD data to create dynamic graphical content that clearly and effectively depicts even your most complex products. The simple, intuitive interface gives you the tools to easily develop informative graphics for a broad range of technical communications, including assembly instructions, product manuals, training materials, and marketing collateral, with content that can be updated automatically. The importance of your technical communication
You put significant time and money into developing your products, and you want to be sure that they are assembled correctly and quickly on the shop floor, and that the first experience for your customers is a good one. SolidWorks Composer software gives you the tools to start creating product communication early in the design process, keep it updated, and deliver it on time. The easy-to-use software leverages your existing 3D CAD data to create dynamic product images and animations that clearly present even the most complex data. SolidWorks Composer streamlines how you create your product communications. Part of the SolidWorks product development solutioncovering design, simulation, sustainable design, technical communication, and data managementSolidWorks Composer enables your entire staff, even those without engineering or CAD experience, to create illustrations, finished images, and interactive animations for use in a broad range of communication deliverables from shop floor work instructions to customer and supplier review presentations, product manuals, and installation guides. It works seamlessly with Microsoft, Adobe, and other popular publishing software, so you can easily include SolidWorks Composer output.

Not only was I freed from having to wait for parts or assemblies, I was able to put together better content in a fraction of the usual time.

Interactive storyboards can be used across a wide range of product communication deliverables, including manufacturing work instructions and product manuals.

SOLIDWORKS COMPOSER BRINGS IT ALL TOGETHER


Now you can design and produce technical communication deliverables in parallel with product developmentso your documentation always keeps up with your design changes and is ready at the same time as your product. With the intuitive SolidWorks Composer interface, you can create highly detailed 2D and 3D graphics with precise control to highlight areas of interest and focus on specific components. You can just as easily output 3D interactive animations to create a realistic 3DEXPERIENCE environment for interactive training or compelling marketing presentations. Because SolidWorks Composer is associative, you can automatically update any changes you make to the CAD models in your technical communication deliverables. For the first time, you can get products to market faster with the assurance that your documentation is both high-quality and accurate. SolidWorks Composer pictures and animations are particularly valuable in simplifying assembly instructions and work orders. You can directly show 3D views of how your product is assembled or repaired, reducing errors on the shop floor, eliminating language barriers, and significantly minimizing localization costs.

Make all of your product-related communications more powerful and effective by adding detailed visuals, which you can easily create and render directly from the latest 3D CAD data.

Without SolidWorks Composer animations, it would have been very hard for us to win the 700,000 contractwe reduced time-to-market by 66%, cut design time by 70%, and decreased development costs by 60%.
Zeki Sariam, General Manager, Zesar Technology Enhance product communication and marketing collateral
You no longer need to compromise your communications by relying on rough drawings to show your concepts or waiting until your design is finished to start creating product communication deliverables. With SolidWorks Composer, you can quickly and easily create the following: Detailed views Exploded views High-resolution images Technical illustrations Interactive animations Interactive bills of materials and parts lists

Get products to market faster


Reduce errors and ensure that all deliverables 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 Use web templates to quickly publish complex product details online

Win more business


Today, visuals are more important than ever. The right product graphics can mean the difference between making or missing the mark in key sales situations.
