Case Study: Allmand Bros., Inc. achieves 50–75% faster parts manual development and eliminates backlog with SolidWorks Composer (SolidWorks)

Accelerating parts manual development with SolidWorks Composer

Allmand Bros., Inc., a Nebraska-based manufacturer of light towers, loaders, and industrial equipment, faced a growing backlog of parts manual updates and struggled to keep large assemblies documented and current using traditional CAD drawings and PDF workflows. To address this, the company adopted SolidWorks' technical communication tool, SolidWorks Composer, to accelerate and streamline parts manual development.

Using SolidWorks Composer, Allmand Bros. automated illustration generation, produced higher-resolution exploded views, and created animated assembly instructions for operators. The SolidWorks solution cut parts manual development time by 50–75% (in some cases reducing a month-long task to two weeks or one week), eliminated the update backlog, and improved documentation quality and assembly training through interactive animations.
