Product Documentation Tools from 3DVIA Composer
Developing new products is only part of the job. Products require documentation for user manuals, marketing materials and service documentation. The products below can help you display 3D modeling data in a format that can be used in many publication applications. The best part is, these displays are associative back to the 3D models, so any changes made can be automatically recognized in the documentation. Now, software will allow non-technical staff to easily create 2D and 3D images and animations for product documentation.
3DVIA products simplify and enhance your organization's ability to create 2D and 3D images and animation for a full range of product documentation.
3DVIA Composer
3DVIA Composer simplifies and enhances your organization’s ability to create 2D and 3D images and animation for a full range of product documentation. With 3DVIA Composer, you can seamlessly incorporate design changes directly into the product documentation to create up-to-date, accurate printed and interactive materials.
Before 3DVIA Composer, all changes to product data required time-consuming manual revisions of documentation. By using 3DVIA Composer, your entire organization can automate and integrate the documentation process. This not only reduces costs, but also improves the quality and consistency of all documentation that you create throughout the lifecycle of each product.
Now you can easily create documents such as:
- Assembly instructions.
- Customer-service procedures.
- Marketing materials.
- User manuals.
- Field-service repair manuals.
- Training materials.
- Web-based catalogs.
Using 3DVIA Composer you can:
- Eliminate expensive errors and quickly update all product documentation through automation.
- Get new products to market faster and gain a competitive advantage.
- Leverage existing 3D designs in multiple CAD formats to produce accurate, up-to-date product documentation.
- Enable technical and nontechnical staff to collaborate effectively during documentation production.
- Improve customer service.

3DVIA Sync
3DVIA Sync delivers sophisticated, XML-based associativity between 3DVIA Composer and a full range of CAD systems by automatically updating documents created with 3DVIA Composer, while ensuring accurate and consistent information.
With 3DVIA Sync, any changes in metadata, geometry, BOMs, or manufacturing information can be automatically updated in documents created with 3DVIA Composer. 3DVIA Sync also enables you to schedule batch updates for incorporating changes when the underlying product data changes, further simplifying the process of keeping materials up to date.
3DVIA is a stand alone product from SolidWorks and works with any 3D modeling technology.
