Now you can generate spart parts catalogs directly from SolidWorks and CATIA data, or any other 3D data that can be brought into 3DVIA Composer.
Thanks to Docware, a supplier of spare part catalog solution called PARTS-PUBLISHER, they have developed a robust integration to the 3DVIA Composer Player.
Here is a link to their press release from last week, announcing the new offer of their DocWare PARTS-PUBLISHER product fully integrated with the 3DVIA Composer Player.

A quote from the author, Anthony Lockwood:
…3DVIA Composer is, of course, more than a tool to interact with a bunch of images. It’s a robust, flexible toolset for making communications and collaboration easier, better, and sane. It’s a product that brings all of us a big step closer to the promise of product lifecycle management for the everyone in the enterprise.
Today Theorem has announced the availability of CADverter JT for 3DVIA Composer!
The press release can be found here on MCADcafé, here on Tenlinks, and here on the Theorem website.
Theorem’s Product Manager Trevor Leeson comments “There is a fast growing trend for the re-use of 3D design data across business enterprises. Wider use of 3D data brings tangible business benefits and we are delighted that Theorem technology is being applied from within 3DVIA to make this happen”
We are excited to welcome users of JT format into the world of 3DVIA Composer!

KaVo is one of the recognized leaders in the global dental equipment marketplace, and they are using 3DVIA Composer to realize some very powerful productivity gains. If you missed their presentation at ECF in November, you can learn more about their story by reading this case study put together by our friends at IBM.
They are using 3DVIA Composer to more quickly produce and update assembly instructions, and to provide clearer, more comprehensive information to the shop floor associates — which they expect will reduce errors and improve product quality.
IBM was able to deliver an integration directly with ENOVIA LCA and their ERP system, collecting the intelligence needed by the manufacturing and technical publication teams while enabling the automatic creation of 3DVIA Composer files upon design release.
“Now that we can work directly from the 3D CATIA design data, we’re able to produce all the necessary technical documentation before production even begins. With 3DVIA Composer, we’ve seen a more than 50 percent reduction in the time to produce our technical documentationation and that’s a very important factor for us to reduce the time to market.”
