Erlab Group, a French manufacturer of ductless laboratory safety enclosures, implemented 3DVIA Composer to generate product fact sheets, training materials, and sales catalogs. Marketing staff import SolidWorks CAD models directly into the tool, eliminating iterative requests to design engineers. The approach enables image-only assembly instructions, reduces translation costs, and supports a single master document for global use.

Key takeaways

Image-only documentation eliminated translation requirements and reduced maintenance effort

Two-day training enabled rapid adoption for new product documentation

Direct CAD-to-Composer workflow removed file conversion steps and associated delays
