SSnewsIT'S SPRING - Time to clean up your technical communication documents & processes
With Spring upon us, what a great time to take a look at a solution that will leverage existing 3D CAD data to create and share dynamic technical communications like training materials, assembly instructions, and sales presentations.

With 3DVIA, you can quickly capture and re-use CAD data, no-engineering experience required. Design changes can update automatically, and you can share your content with anyone using the free viewer application. 

 

Don't just take our word for it, hear it from one of our clients, Cardiovascular Systems, Inc.(CSI).  CSI faced the challenge of automating and streamlining the preparation of training materials and assembly instructions to save time, reduce costs, and improve quality.  Their solution - Implement 3DVIA Composer software to automate and improve the preparation of technical communications which provided the following results:
  • Cut assembly training time by 25%
  • Facilitated preparation and updating of assembly instructions
  • Improved quality of assembly instructions and sales training materials
  • Mitigated clean room bioburden risk

SPECIAL OFFER: During the month of April, we are offering a Try Before You Buy offer.  Basically, you provide us your design files and we will demo the power of 3DVIA right in front of you using your own product designs.  During this FREE demonstration, We will also perform a thorough analysis of your current technical communication processes.  Contact us today to schedule your Try Before You Buy Demonstration.
  
We are also offering a 3DVIA Hands-on Test Drive on April 22nd if you want to participate in a hands-on workshop event.

SSblogSolidWorks Blogs
by Dave Padelford
  
As a rule, I do spend a bit of time each week browsing through other blogs about SolidWorks. I find things in these blogs that are relevant to some of my support cases.  Some of them are focused on SolidWorks and some highlight other software and design tools as well. Below I have compiled a list of the ones I frequent...see list.
