In other words, if technology does not add value in terms of time saved, decreased costs, reduced scrap, a healthier planet or even an improved quality of life, I'm just not that interested...but I don't really hate it ;-) And this might cause a dilemma for me because 3DVIA Composer is really, really cool. But even better, 3DVIA Composer is also extremely valuable. You might remember in my last blog I said how 3DVIA Composer was so easy to use even a plastics guy could do it? Well that's still true, and one of the things I'd like to tell you about this week is how easy it is to use 3DVIA Composer to create high resolution graphics for 2D-based assembly instructions, product guides and maintenance manuals.
