DATA SHEET Communicate complex ser vice and parts information ef fectively with rich, 3D technical illustrations The use of 3D illustrations is a rapidly growing opportunity for manufacturers to deliver more effective technical information. PTC Creo Illustrate couples superior 3D illustration capabilities with associative CAD data to deliver configuration-specific graphical content used to operate, service, and maintain products that accurately reflects the current product design. PTC Creo Illustrate couples superior 3D illustration capabilities with associative CAD data to deliver configuration-specific graphical information used to operate, service, and maintain products that accurately reflects the current product design. PTC Creo Illustrate offers a dedicated environment with the capabilities required to create rich, 3D technical illustrations that are used to communicate complex products and procedures clearly and graphically. Key benefits Increase service and parts accuracy Accelerate repair and maintenance times • Enable easy 3D navigation of service information, based on specific product configurations and user environments • Provide technicians and users with easy-to-understand 3D technical information that will increase productivity and accuracy globally • Eliminate wasted time searching for service information in static, generic technical documents Improve product performance and customer experience • Clearly convey complex information: Create 3D animations to visually describe complex service procedures for easy consumption • Deliver interactive training materials and technical information to improve product adoption and customer satisfaction • Reduce translation costs: Replace text with illustrated step-by-step procedures, 3D animations, illustrated parts lists, and other graphical representations • Capitalize on growing adoption of 3D devices and applications to deliver advanced 3D product support content that is easy to find and understand • Increase illustrator productivity: Automate illustration change management throughout the service information lifecycle by maintaining an associative link to original CAD files • Automate parts list creation: Generate parts lists and call outs directly from CAD metadata to produce dynamic parts lists
