Your company and your customers rely on your technical product communication for detailed information about your product—how it works, how to assemble it, how to use it, and how to service it. Does your shop floor have to accommodate last-minute design changes frequently? Does your technical communication reflect the high quality of your products? Do you have to wait for the physical product or prototype to take photos before starting your assembly instructions? Do your manuals and brochures stay up-to-date? Do you keep recreating the same images for different materials?
Historically, manufacturers have simply had to accept the high costs and delays associated with creating product documentation, maintenance instructions, training materials, and product visualizations. Today however, product manufacturers are growing their competitive advantage, cutting costs, and saving time with the next generation of integrated software tools. Improve your technical communication with 3D product manufacturing information, automated creation of inspection documents, and re-purposing of design data for high-quality graphics, illustrations, and interactive 3D content.
