Augmented Reality's development as a concept and available related techniques have been stabilizing throughout the years, allowing a numerous of AR applications to appear in several areas such as medical, design, maintenance and repair, annotation and visualization, robot path planning, military aircraft and entertainment which has received the most attention. While many of those areas have shown the advantages AR can bring, there are still some loopholes that need to be filled. Assembly and maintenance of equipment, for instance, has been a thoroughly investigated subject of study in AR. Many applications have been developed which demonstrate the benefits of AR in assembly tasks, but this dissertation's main innovative point is to allow the creation of AR assembly tutorials using the same AR system that allows its tutorial execution. The creation of tutorials would be carried out through the use of a manual 3D Digitizer, in order to carefully pinpoint each location of the next assembly component.
