Machine or product delay due to documents not being ready on time? Design of new machining or products were delayed because design engineers were busy writing documentation? You shipped a machine or product but your customer is holding or has held payment until the final documentation was delivered? You have paid travel costs for technical field repair? Manufacturing was delayed because assembly manuals were not clear cut? For many years, manufacturers simply had to accept more time delays and greater costs as they developed product documentation in multiple languages to support growing global markets. But today, product developers are gaining competitive advantage, saving time, and cutting costs with a new class of integrated software tools. With 3D authoring software like 3DVIA Composer, your company can use 3D CAD data to automate the product documentation process—without modifying product designs.   Click here to learn more about 3DVIA Composer with this complimentary White Paper. 3DVision Technologies launches Dimension 3D Printing leasing   3DVision Technologies is excited to announce leasing options for our full line of Dimension Printers.

Anticipated growth in 2010 will require additional resources and increased designer proficiency to keep pace.   SolidProfessor helps you improve your team's efficiency with SolidWorks to manage the increased workload. Get more from your existing engineering group by providing them with the resources they need to perform effectively... and don't let your team get left behind.   For a limited time, 3DVision Customers who purchase three SolidProfessor seats (Standard, Professional, or Premium) will receive a fourth seat of corresponding value FREE.   For more information, click here to request a quote.     Technology Five Ways PDM can help you Succeed - Free White Paper   How often do you find yourself spending valuable time searching for a model or file? Have you ever had to recreate a model because you could not find the original? Have you ever spent time creating a design only to discover later that one of your colleagues had previously modeled a similar design that would have met your needs?   If you are not using a product data management (PDM) system, chances are you can relate to these scenarios.   This white paper examines the five key benefits of design reuse and explores how SolidWorks Enterprise PDM software can help you turn design reuse into a winning strategy.   To download, click here.
