SOLIDWORKS COMPOSER ADD A NEW DIMENSION TO YOUR TECHNICAL COMMUNICATIONS TECHNICAL COMMUNICATIONS SolidWorks® Composer helps your organization, including nontechnical 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 the tools to easily develop informative graphics for a broad range of technical communications, including assembly instructions, product manuals, training materials, and marketing collateral, with content that can be updated automatically. The importance of your technical communication You put significant time and money into developing your products, and you want to be sure that they are assembled correctly and quickly on the shop floor, and that the first experience for your customers is a good one. SolidWorks Composer software gives you the tools to start creating product communication early in the design process, keep it updated, and deliver it on time. The easy-to-use software leverages your existing 3D CAD data to create dynamic product images and animations that clearly present even the most complex data.

It works seamlessly with Microsoft®, Adobe®, and other popular publishing software, so you can easily include SolidWorks Composer output.
