3DMojo

Here we go again, poised for another successful showing of 3DVIA Composer at SolidWorks World 2009. Like last year, we will be within the SolidWorks booth area, with a very large monitor to serve out information to the masses that are certain to be swarming the booth.

Ok, I know it's impossible to compete with Sir Richard Branson, so after you're done with that general session, be sure to stop by and see what we're all about, or just say "hello" if you're already one of the many new Composer customers that have joined us this past year!

We would like to welcome Felder KG to the growing community of companies that have chosen 3DVIA Composer to enhance their assembly documentation and become more competitive.

My absolute favorite quote from the press release is when a SolidWorks VAR introduced Felder to 3DVIA Composer:

...our previously installed documentation solution didn’t have a chance, because it was an isolated application.

'nuff said about that! See the SolidWorks press release from last week for the full details.

A warm welcome to Felder!

I am extremely pleased to announce that this past weekend, we have surpassed 100,000 downloads of our 3DVIA Composer video podcasts.

Just over 2 years ago, I was crashing a trade show and needed a way to show prospects something about our product. Something visual and portable that I could use to highlight some interesting capabilities and examples of 3DVIA Composer. Toting my laptop around was not an option, and I thought to myself "if only I could hold something in my hand and show some examples of interactive documentation and animations"... and then I it hit me that I could use Composer to create some AVIs, and then convert those AVIs to iPod format and download them to my new video iPod. And thus our podcast series was born, with our very first podcast on November 6, 2006.

Now, over 80 podcasts later and 100,000 downloads in the past 2 years -- and some copycat activity from our competitors -- I can safely say that this has been a phenominal success!

The new release of 3DVIA Composer V6R2009x is being launched this week as part of the overall V6 portfolio update. As part of the press release, we have updated our website. Let us know what you think!

Information about the new 3DVIA Composer enhancements can be see here, and will be available on Friday for general distribution.

Taira Promote, a customer in Japan, is making great use of 3DVIA products to liberate 3D data out of engineering and into the hands of technical publications and training manuals. They are using 3DVIA Virtools and 3DVIA Composer to develop and launch their "i-manuals". These are in-depth , interactive, and on-line technical manuals to communicate and simulate highly complicated concepts.
