SOLIDWORKS Composer

Quickly create and update high-quality graphical assets that are fully associated with your 3D CAD model.

SOLIDWORKS Composer: Why Use It?

Leverage your existing 3D CAD data to create high-quality 2D and 3D graphics. This graphical content enables you to communicate your manufacturing process and procedures utilizing graphic characters universally recognized to eliminate the need for text.

SOLIDWORKS Composer is great for creating technical communications, such as manufacturing assembly instructions, maintenance manuals, animations, and interactive marketing assets.

SOLIDWORKS Composer also comes with a FREE viewer and supports most CAD formats: .smg, .smgGeom, .geom, .sat, .sab, .3dxml, .igs, iges files, .stp, .step, .vda, .asm, .prt, .vpr, .xas, .3ds, obj files, .stl, .wrl, .u3d, .ipt, .iam, .pdf, .sldprt, .sldasm, .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe, .tga, .rgb, and .svg.

CAD Format Support

SOLIDWORKS Composer can open various 3D CAD formats, including SOLIDWORKS, Pro/ENGINEER/Creo, Autodesk Inventor, STEP, IGES, and more.

Update Visual Content

Update the content to reflect the latest changes in design (geometry, BOM tree, metadata, and others).

Faster Content Development

Create 2D and 3D content directly from 3D CAD data in multiple formats, such as raster images, vector images, videos, and 3D interactive animations. Annotate content with auto balloons, BOM tables, arrows, and detail views. Change content appearances by hiding/showing, changing transparency, and changing colors.

Document Processes

Construct step-by-step procedures demonstrating incremental components.

Create Animations

Create interactive storyboards by adding links to relevant views, animating appearances and custom properties, and creating keyframe animation by drag-and-drop views on the timeline.

Customize BOMs

Devise separate manufacturing Bill of Materials (BOM) and engineering BOM. Users can customize parts lists and properties for each view.

Automate Processes

Automate the import of 3D files in batch mode, and the creation and translation of documents within existing workflow systems, using custom XML programming.

Viewing Customization

View instructions interactively, with no extra UI required. Rotate, zoom, animate, measure, view BOM and section (author controls rights). Create custom apps to distribute internally or via the website.

Multiple Output Formats

Deliver numerous formats for 2D output, including BMP, PNG, EPS, and animation, such as AVI.

Keep All Product Information Current

Composer retains the most up-to-date versions of graphical assets and communication deliverables.

Automatically Update Product Information

Automatically updates metadata, geometry, Bill of Materials (BOM), and other data, saving you time.

Command Line Interface Accessibility

Integrate PLM applications throughout your organization using the Sync interface and the command line interface.

Check for Design Errors

You can validate the assembly procedures immediately after the design changes before the products hit the shop floor. This way, you can identify any errors and fix them.

Clash Detection

Composer’s clash detection detects static and dynamic collisions, which users can then use to design path planning and service qualification procedures.
