SOLIDWORKS COMPOSER software enables you to easily create 2D and 3D graphical content directly from your 3D CAD files for your product technical communications. solidworks composer helps everyone in your organization, including non-technical users, leverage 3D CAD data to create dynamic graphical content that clearly and effectively depicts even your most complex products. The simple, intuitive interface gives you tools to help you easily develop informative graphics.
These graphics can be used in a broad range of technical communications, including assembly instructions, product manuals, training materials, and marketing collateral. And all with content that can be updated automatically.
With SOLIDWORKS Composer you can:
Enhance product communication and marketing collateral.
Create high-resolution images.
Start documentation earlier in the design process, and update it faster when design changes occur.
Add interactive graphics to training materials.
Demonstrate products more effectively with interactive storyboards.
Create technical illustrations that add clarity to your product documentation.
And much more…
