Session Abstract

Discover how to take your manufacturing documentation to the next level! This session shows how to convert SOLIDWORKS Composer work instructions into interactive, real-world assembly steps using augmented reality. We’ll walk through creating and modifying instructions in Composer and then demonstrate how these instructions can be experienced in AR to guide assembly processes. See how AR overlays step-by-step directions directly onto physical parts, making complex tasks easier and more intuitive. Learn how this workflow reduces errors, accelerates training, and modernizes your shop floor. Key Learning Points: How to prepare and structure SOLIDWORKS Composer instructions for AR use. Techniques for creating interactive, step-by-step AR assembly guides. Benefits to Attendees: Reduce Errors: Improve accuracy by overlaying instructions on physical components. Productivity: Shorten assembly times
