SolidSmack blogger and Desktop Engineering contributor, Josh Mings, took 3DVIA Composer for a test drive and has written about it in the latest issue of Desktop Engineering online.

Take a look at this article from Industry Week. When discussing about the use of 3D CAD data in downstream departments such as manufacturing, service, training, spare parts, and others, the article states:

People working in those functional areas perform too much non-value-added work having to recreate images because they don't have access to the CAD data. "Until they integrate these downstream processes, they're never going to be lean," Prawel says.

I couldn't have said it better myself! Enabling downstream users to fully leverage 3D CAD data, and add their relevent context and knowledge into the that data, creates true information that not only improves communication, but improves companies' ability to compete. There are substantial savings to be leveraged in these areas -- and in this economy, every opportunity for improvement becomes a necessity.

Honda of Canada has selected 3DVIA Composer and DELMIA together to prepare 3D digital manufacturing solutions to optimize layout and throughput of the Alliston, Ontario plants in preparation for the 2011 Civic.

The full press release can be reviewed here. Below is a quote from that announcement.

Additionally, with 3DVIA Composer, the entire digital product definition is fully reused so that assembly process documentation can be easily generated and provided to anyone that needs it, from management to workers on the plant floor. Using 3DVIA Composer to finalize the assembly documentation and offer a 3D interactive environment for the review and presentation of assembly instructions offers greatly improved communication that will shorten approval cycles, help verify the processes more efficiently, improve training of the actual assembly procedures, and reduce assembly errors on the shop floor.
