Technical Communications Packages
Composer, MBD and Inspectionempower you to create product communications during the initial design stages in tandem with the SOLIDWORKS design team. This streamlines the creation process, maintains its relevance through updates, and ensures timely delivery. These user-friendly packages capitalise on your existing SOLIDWORKS design data, enhancing your productivity and efficiency.
SOLIDWORKS Composer
SOLIDWORKS Composer automates updates, empowers non-experts, enhances clarity with 3D visuals and speeds up manual creation for faster product releases. The main features of SOLIDWORKS Composer include:
- Multi CAD format support
- Interactive assembly manual creations
- High quality rendering and animations
- Updates driven from CAD models
- SVG and HTML outputs for web hosting
- Customisable & Interactive BOMS
SOLIDWORKS Composer addresses the challenges of traditional instruction manual creation by providing a dynamic platform that streamlines updates, enhances understanding, and empowers non-experts to create accurate, visually appealing, and interactive documentation.
SOLIDWORKS Inspection
Manually generating First Article Inspection reports can be a very time consuming, error prone and laborious task. Ballooning dimensions, capturing tolerances, and generating reports absorbs valuable time that are often prone to error. Let SOLIDWORKS Inspection lighten the load.
Functionality includes:
- Support for PDF, TIFF, DXF, DWG & SOLIDWORKS Drawing files
- Optical Character Recognition for automatic data extraction
- Automatic ballooning
- Automatic creation of inspection reports
- CMM & digital calliper measurement import
- Automatic colour grading of results
SOLIDWORKS Inspection can halve the time taken to produce these documents and remove the risk of manual error. Elevate your quality control standards with SOLIDWORKS Inspection and set a new benchmark for excellence and accuracy.
SOLIDWORKS MBD
If your company is moving towards a paperless manufacturing process, then you need a model-based definition approach, or MBD for short. SOLIDWORKS MBD streamlines the process of creating, organising, and sharing product manufacturing information (PMI) directly within 3D models. Features include:
- 3D PMI and 3D annotations
- Customisable templates
- Automated Ballooning
- 3D publisher (PDF or eDrawings)
- Compliance with ISO & ASME industry standards
Rather than relying solely on 2D drawings to communicate design and manufacturing information, SOLIDWORKS MBD allows users to embed this information directly into the 3D model itself. By incorporating PMI directly into the 3D model, SOLIDWORKS MBD enhances collaboration, reduces errors, and accelerates the design-to-manufacturing process.
