Check out this article from the September edition of Medical Design Technology magazine, about "Perspectives on Manufacturing Technologies, Part III" -- if you scroll down you will see a bit about 3D interactive documentation.

Enjoy!

"Your future is bright" is the theme for this year's ECF at the Agora.

All day today we have been holding 3DVIA Composer sessions. Tomorrow, we will continue to hold these sessions, plus a whole series of presentations on 3DVIA Composer and 3DVIA Virtools. Here's the agenda for Day 2.

Arburg, a leading manufacturer of injection molding machines in Germany, is using 3DVIA Composer and other Dassault Systèmes products to achive some interesting gains. Click here to see the entire article @ Product Design & Development to learn more.

They are using 3DVIA Composer for technical documentation, spare parts lists, and 3D repair instructions. A snippet from the article regarding 3DVIA Composer:

“We generate the technical documentation directly from the CATIA files using 3DVIA Composer, which saves us a lot of time,” says Klaus Mayer, Head of the CAD/CAM Development department. 

In addition to three-dimensional repair instructions, 3DVIA Composer also automatically generates spare-parts lists that customers can access for online ordering. 

While technical documentation may seem like a less glamorous solution compared with 3D product design and simulation, 3DVIA Composer performs a vital service for Arburg’s customers.

Because companies are increasingly comprised of branches and employees located across the world, language barriers pose diverse challenges for collaborative product development.

By providing repair instructions that involve 3D visual models, 3DVIA Composer allows companies to completely bypass any confusion and respect the dialectal differences of its entire staff.  After all, a screw and a bolt look the same no matter where a person resides.

This week in Weisbaden, Germany -- it's the 2009 tcworld conference, running from November 4th to 6th.

3DVIA Composer will be seen in several booths this year. Here are the booths for our direct resellers:

• DS Booth, with our partner TransCAT: HAll 3 stand 332
• SolidPro: Hall 3 stand 333
• Datasquare: Hall1 stand 101-102
• Kisters: Hall 4 stand 400

In addition, the following partners will be showing 3DVIA Composer as part of their offerings: 

• TID Informatik: Hall 4 stand 448
• Docware: Hall 4 stand 460

Be on the watch out for the poster that our partners will be using to help you easily identify 3DVIA Composer at their booths.

Over the years, you have seen that 3DVIA Composer has many uses across many industries. Here is another usage in the Energy industry:

CHIDI, which is recognized as one of the world’s major hydropower R&D organizations, has played an intrinsic role in the design and development of many of China’s most famous hydropower plants, including Ertan Hydropower Plant, currently the highest dam and largest hydropower plant built in Asia, Xiluodu Hydropower Plant on the Jinsha River, the world's second largest hydropower plant, and Jinping Stage 1 Hydropower Station, the world's highest arch dam with a height of 305m. To expand its reach and reputation, CHIDI decided to implement a PLM solution to improve its design quality and overall project management proficiency.

Specifically for 3DVIA Composer:

In addition, CHIDI is using 3DVIA Composer to produce 3D documentation for publications, ensuring effective communication with proprietors and construction units.
