DMU.Doc3D - Product-Vizualisation for Technical Documentation

DMU.Doc3D is a module for product visualization in technical documentation. The visualization module is designed in such a way that 3D CAD data can be imported directly from the PDM system via an interface which can be individually customized. The diverse data views (PDM product structure and bill of material structure) are thereby also interlinked and integrated via so-called “mapping”. The CAD models can subsequently be processed easily and quickly with techniques which have been tried and tested in practical operation. This will result in photo-realistic illustrations which, depending on the configuration of the interface, can in turn be integrated directly and automatically into the technical documentation.

DMU.Doc3D is the answer to the question asked in the automobile industry which is becoming increasingly relevant. The question is: How can the available CAD data be utilized efficiently and also be utilized in sectors of a company other than the development sector? Possible sectors for the utilization of this CAD data are the sales, marketing and service departments. These sectors require comprehensive pictorial material in order to be able to present new products in the respective information material. It is often the case that a given product is not yet available in a physical form at the time required for the generation of pictorial material. The components must therefore be available as an alternative in the form of a digital product, from which photo-realistic pictures can in turn be generated. This is the exact point at which the integration solution with the DMU.Doc3D module takes over.
