<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Abstract:</b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Arial Unicode MS";"> </span>Today’s companies have a huge investment in <a href="http://www.3d-manufacture.com/" target="_blank">3Dproduct</a> designs. Using 3D CAD models and data directly to create product
documents greatly reduces product time-to-market and lifecycle costs. Product documentation software
provides these capabilities. To be effective, product documentation software
should be easy,
affordable, and
offer a complete end-to-end solution. Unfortunately most of today’s
applications are expensive, unnecessarily complicated and still require
multiple programs to publish final documents. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This white paper will discuss how product documentation can
benefit your company and what software attributes should be considered when
choosing a solution.<span style="color: red;"> </span>The right software will
result in immediate
benefits for designers, engineers, technical publication teams and everyone involved
with your product’s launch and maintenance. Customers that
implement product documentation software report huge savings for manufacturing work
instructions, technical publications, illustrated parts catalogs and product information
brochures. <o:p></o:p></div>
<h2>
Product
Documentation Software: Six Major Benefits<o:p></o:p></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Minimize engineering
involvement<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3D
product design information typically resides in design and engineering
departments and is not available to downstream users, such as manufacturing,
technical publications, etc. As a
consequence, engineers and designers can spend 25-40% of their effort generating
illustrations, images, views and data packets in support of documentation
efforts. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>By providing a lightweight
packet of the 3D model and data to the downstream user, engineers and designers
can minimize their involvement in product documentation. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Increase effectiveness of
documentation<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Documentation
teams often use a time consuming, multi-step, iterative process with engineers
to converge on the desired view or illustration for the documents. This cycle requires considerable time and
communications for both documentation teams and engineers. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>By having the 3D model and
data available, documentation teams can edit and create the required views
without extensively involving the engineers and designers. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Reduce errors<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Current
processes usually require multiple translations, transfers, rendering and
reworks. Each of these steps creates an
opportunity to introduce errors. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>By creating the
illustrations directly from the original design information with minimal
translations and transfers, the number of errors is significantly reduced. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Reduce time to market<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Often
documentation efforts pace the product manufacturing and release. This occurs largely because the documentation
does not begin until the design is complete. The current process
requires documents to be created toward the end of the product design period,
or worst case, after the product is available and ready to be photographed.</div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
By
essentially eliminating the iterative process between designers and the
documentation team, the time to market for most products can be dramatically
reduced. Product documentation software allows
technical writers to begin the creation of communications sooner and update as
the product design is revised. In addition, since the design is being used
directly, the documentation can be completed more efficiently and with fewer
errors.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /><!--[endif]--></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Reduce product lifecycle
costs<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Significant
product costs result from the various documentation requirements and from the
continual update. Current processes
involve multiple software applications and translations and accommodate very
little reuse of illustrations and content.

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Improve communications<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Product
information is increasingly being shared throughout the enterprise and with
international partners, suppliers and customers. Pictures convey information much more
effectively than words and interactive 3D conveys information more effectively
than pictures, particularly across language and cultural barriers.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Product documentation
software captures images and lightweight, interactive 3D models with markups,
descriptive text and predefined views for easy electronic or printed
distribution. This enhances understanding and improves product communication. <o:p></o:p></i></div>

<h2>
Customers report
major savings from Product Documentation Software <o:p></o:p></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The
move to Product Documentation software is driven by business pressures on time
to market, product lifecycle costs and return on investment. Since 3D CAD has become so pervasive, the
drive to reduce barriers between design engineering and downstream business
functions is accelerating. Product
Documentation software typically produces immediate returns to engineering,
manufacturing and technical publications organizations. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After
implementing a product documentation solution, companies are able to leverage
their existing 3D CAD files to quickly create supporting deliverables. This
process invariable results in the following proven benefits:<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
For
example, a large equipments manufacturer reports: “We immediately saved 88% of
documentation cost of generating illustrations for a parts catalog by using the
QuadriSpace solution.” These savings are
realized by having the lightweight model and associated data immediately
available without the need for extra CAD seats. Model editing, markup, and
publication to required formats are achieved quickly in a single, powerful
software application. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A
medical devices customer reports: “a 30% reduction in time and cost for
creating interactive, manufacturing work instructions and additional costs are
saved by reduced training and increased flexibility in the work assignments”. Additional savings are created by
‘automatically’ updating instructions when a part changes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
A
heavy machinery manufacturer reports: “an 83% reduction in time for creating
illustrations for product information manuals”.
The extensive model editing, customizable render styles, markups and publishing
options are all integrated into a single software application that enables an
efficient workflow without the involvement of designers and engineers and without
using CAD seats. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

Additional
savings in time and effort are achieved by using a single, full capability,

<h2>
Key Attributes of
Product Documentation Software<o:p></o:p></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Complete Solution<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Most
product documentation software is only useful for a single aspect of the
process. For example many viewer-like products create images that are then
inserted into a page design program. In addition, page design programs do not
support 3D CAD data. This means that both programs are required to create the
documents and the update process becomes fragmented.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Pick a product that provides
a complete, integrated solution. This will get you all the way from 3D CAD
files to final product documents in the shortest time.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Easy to Install and Use<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many
products that claim to focus on product documentation are complicated and work
like CAD software. This requires an extended training period and the document
creation process takes longer. In addition, many proposed documentation
solutions require complicated integration planning and time-consuming IT
effort. For most documentation projects this is just not necessary.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>The best products on the
market provide a user experience much like Microsoft Office. This makes installing
and using the software easy and familiar, even for non-CAD users. Your team
will spend less time fighting the software and more time creating informative
documents.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Affordable for Entire Teams<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Without
affordable document authoring products, a single expert ends up with all the
work. This is counter-productive to your efforts because it limits the reuse of
the 3D information.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Look for affordable
solutions that can be purchased for entire teams of users across the enterprise.
Make sure that the products include the 3D, page design and publishing tools that
you need to be successful.</i><i><o:p></o:p></i></div>

Documentation Software
provides a means of fully using the 3D model and associated data to easily
create associative BOMs, procurement documents, and manufacturing work
instructions. The documents can be
animated, interactive 3D or printed and contain the model, parts and special
instructions for each step of the manufacturing process. This capability is
extremely powerful for offshore operations. Furthermore, if a part
changes, automatic update capabilities will update the entire documents with the revised parts.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Technical Publications<o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Many
technical publications groups use a multi-step, and multi-program, process for
generating illustrations for product literature. These typically require engineering personnel
to capture the specified view and render style in an image from the 3D CAD
tool. Tech pubs must then add the
markups in a paint tool and publish using yet another program. When using an integrated product
documentation product, all tasks are accomplished with a single software solution. This
allows Tech Pubs to easily design and publish illustrations directly from the
3D CAD for all product publications. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Illustrated Parts Catalogs</b><b><o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Creating
illustrated parts catalogs or interactive parts lists is simple with
QuadriSpace solutions since it is easy to explode the assemblies and the parts

From my experience there are six major factors that one
should consider before purchasing a 3D printer:</div>

recreational purposes, as a hobby, at home or for your degree, then ease of use
is a very important criterion to consider. Professional users will handle
complex processes without too many complaints; however, I’ve noticed that the
request for ease-of-use, all over the world, seems to be more prominent from
more users – even professional home users. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3472372310142456524" name="Accuracy"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi;">Accuracy</span></b></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi;">/ <b>model
resolution</b></span> – This feature determines how many details you will find
in your final printed 3D model and how close it will be to the original
engineering model. In my opinion accuracy is a given, a must – especially if
you are a professional users. I mean, if this is your business and you want to
succeed, how can you expect anything less than accurate? Your customers are not paying you for an <i>idea</i>
of what the engineered model will look like – they want the <i>real deal</i>,
so, in order to give it to them, do NOT buy a printer with low resolution.
Specifically <b>check the resolution of the Z axis</b> – this value determines
the thinness of each layer, <b>the smaller the number</b> the better.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3472372310142456524" name="Volume"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi;">Volume</span></b></a><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi;"> / Footprint</span> - </b>The term defines the maximum volume that can
be printed in one run without using glue. Most 3D printers today have enough footprint
area to print most standard models and there are exceptionally large printers
that can print large products. Ask yourself – what are you printing? If you are
making a piece of <span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">jewelry</span> or an ear aid you probably don’t need to
have a large footprint, but if you want to print a piece of furniture, like a chair,
table, or bookshelf then you should probably consider the investment.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3472372310142456524" name="Speed"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi;">Speed</span></b> </a>– They say time is money, so if you’ve got projects
with deadlines that have to be met – more commonly found in professional usage
– then you should consider buying a 3D printer that can keep up with your
demands. Interestingly enough, I’ve also found that home users aren’t that
patient either, this generation wants it now, fast, here… So – bottom line, get a printer that can
process quickly. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3472372310142456524" name="Post"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi;">Post processing</span></b> </a>– huh… what’s that you ask? You
finished the job; it’s printed what’s this about. Post processing is a VERY important
criterion for all users; it falls into the SPEED category. Most 3D printers try
to minimize or <b><i>hide</i></b> how long the 3D printer has to process the
job AFTER it has completed building the model. The post processing can involve liquid,
chemical, peeling or other curing process. Post process is part of the
production time and should seriously be taken into consideration when choosing
the right 3D printer for you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3472372310142456524" name="Cost"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi;">Cost </span></b></a><b>– </b>Most of home users start with the cost
factor… but I want to end on this criterion because it’s only one of the six important
factors and not the most important. If you just buy a cheap printer, how will
you know if you really did get the quality for your money? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.25in;">
<b>I see the budget comprising of 3 cost
considerations:<o:p></o:p></b></div>

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]--><span dir="LTR"></span>The model material cost (the
type of the material you are using to print, measured in cubic inch or cm) this includes the waste
rate too (all printers use materials, and most waste some, so aside from being
friendly to the environment you are paying for stuff that is going to the garbage
too) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.<span style="font-size: 7pt;">
</span><!--[endif]--><span dir="LTR"></span>Maintenance costs – 3D printers
are cutting edge, they are highly sophisticated and they will need annual
tuning and cleaning. Don’t forget that when you build your budget. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .25in;">
If I was to categorize /
stereotype what most often happens - I’d say that recreational and home users
are looking at the actual 3D printer costs, before the materials, while
companies calculate the materials as main criteria, and budget the 3D printer
as a capital expense. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Be smart, try and figure out your TCO (total cost of
ownership) using these 3 main considerations before buyin. If you know how many
models you are going to print, you could take all costs and make your calculations
to figure out your ROI (return on investment). <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, I hope this article has helped you to figure out which
new 3D printer you are going to buy. Always,
always , always learn from your peers – check your references, see what your
colleagues bought, look at companies like yours and see what works for them. If
you’d like to learn more, here is my blog on <a href="http://www.3d-manufacture.com/">3D products for resellers</a> and you can
