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.
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.
The quick summary: The Taiwan Overseas Chinese University has selected 3DVIA Composer in the Department of Industrial Engineering & Management (IEM). The department’s hand-selected students will use 3DVIA Composer to present their system integration ideas and plans professionally and with the ability to be exported into various widely accepted formats.
According to Professor Wang Tsung-Jung
With this new product documentation tool, our students are able to go beyond CAD capabilities and deliver quicker and more advanced projects,” said Professor Wang. “With 3DVIA Composer, students will understand how having an advanced technology can improve the product and process design while decreasing time-to-market. The department is very practice-driven and foresees that 3DVIA Composer will help students gain important hands-on experiences, thus increasing their job opportunities.
We used many 3DVIA tools together (3dvia.com, 3DVIA Composer, 3DVIA Mobile) into one video to show how our users can take advantage of all the new 3D technologies we offer.
In this video, Cliff play's the role of a Copier Salesman, Emmy is an Office Manager (the customer), and I play the Product Manager. Cliff and I work together to easily solve a problem using 3DVIA.
Oh, and the images of me only pretending to be busy? Completely untrue.
