Razorleaf Corporation, headquartered in Ohio, specializes in enterprise technologies, including design automation and product lifecycle management solutions. The document discusses using 3Dvia Composer for creating storyboards, design reviews, and kit-bashing techniques to enhance design processes. It highlights the benefits of 3Dvia Composer, such as its ability to work with various CAD formats, faster updates, and effective communication of design concepts.
3DVIA Composer for Assembly Instruction Storyboards
- 1. Storyboards with 3DVIA ComposerJohnny Molica, ConsultantRazorleaf Corporation
- 3. Razorleaf specializes in process analysis, implementation, training and support of enterprise technologies including Design Automation (DA), Enterprise Portal (SharePoint), Product Data Management/Technical Data Management (PDM/TDM), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions and Technical Publication/Online Communication (3DVIA ).

The company is headquartered in Ohio with satellite offices in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.Storyboard CreationUsing 3DVIA Composer for more than technical publicationsDesign reviewsProduct SalesAnd more…Design war boardsConcepts before we get to the final designKit BashingTaking what we have existing and apply it to the new designStoryboardsHow did we come to this conclusion?What were the original resources?How interchangeable can we make our products?
- 5. Design War BoardsUsing 3DVIA Composer to display sketch ideas“Napkin” sketchesDisplay various ideas for reviewUsing scanned images
- 7. Using Existing ModelsUltimately we need a 3D model for 3DVIA ComposerReviewing all current modelsWhat information can we reuse from these models?Do we need to recreate all?
- 9. Resources3DVIA Composer can read all types of CAD and modeling formatsWhich means that all types of web sites can be used to get 3D model contentCAD models.SLDASM; SLDPRT.IGES; STEP.CATPart; .CATProduct.PRT; .ASMDesign/Surface models.3DS.OBJVector images.SVGRaster images.JPG
- 11. Kit-BashingKit-bashing or model bashing is a practice whereby a new scale model is created by taking pieces out of commercial kits. These pieces may be added to a custom project or to another kit.Using existing model to recreate concepts and ideasThe benefit of using 3DVIA Composer is the model doesn’t need to be a similar size to be used for kit-bashing
- 13. Capture changeGeometry tabActors can be scaled, updated and copied when the Assembly selection is turned offAssembly groups can also be copied using Ctrl+C and pasted using Ctrl+V or by using the right mouse button in the Assembly tabUsing the Geometry Copy will return more predictable results than a Windows Copy and PasteCreated a view for the change and creating visual changesGeometry update can be unpredictable when updating
- 15. PerformanceUsing SMG files instead of reading in the entire CAD formatFaster updates when changes are madeUse the SMG files to create the main assemblySMG files can be created from within SolidWorksCreating Project filesUsing 3DVIA Sync to create Shattered file structures
- 16. Redesign conceptsThe ability to reference other sources can help get ideas across more clearly3DVIA Composer does not need to have a complete model to develop and ideaSMG file are read into existing file more quickly than importing from a CAD format file Updates more quickly than re-importingCAD data
- 18. CommunicationCommunication with 3DVIA Composer can be done through:3DVIA Composer Player Web browserDownloadable app from AppleIphone/ipad
- 20. Telling the StoryOnce the designs have been reviewed and decided 3DVIA Composer has already created a design history and resource path for all the filesA user can quickly go through the view images or review an animation to understand how the final product was generatedThe SMG files becomes a portfolio for the design
