🔧 The 3D CAD Documentation Challenge

SolidWorks assemblies and parts contain complex 3D geometry, BOMs, and engineering annotations. Converting to technical PDFs for manufacturing, procurement, and field service requires intelligent view extraction and data preservation.

Manufacturing Excellence

A Fortune 100 aerospace company automated SolidWorks to PDF for 500,000+ part drawings annually—reducing documentation time by 85% and errors by 99%.
