CATIA Success Insights
"CATIA helped us to make simultaneous engineering real.” How? “Starting after the ideation phase, we generated the conceptual design. [..] to validate the model and the composite layout mechanically and structurally. 3DEXPERIENCE helped us build up the model accordingly and ensure that it resists the static load cases and achieves lightweight performance, which is what we aim for in the end.” Denis Schmitz, Mechanical Engineer Contractor, Strong by Form
"The digital mockup validation in 3DEXPERIENCE CATIA is far superior, allowing us to perform various tasks that were not supported in CATIA V5." Inseong Yoo, Lamp Technology Strategy Team Senior Researcher, Hyundai Mobis
Industries' rapid evolution— from transportation and mobility to consumer goods and industrial equipment—compels all stakeholders to innovate and adapt continuously. Whether you’re part of an established company or a dynamic startup, the challenge remains: meeting ever-increasing customer expectations while accelerating time to market.
Sustainability has become a critical priority in this landscape. Designing with the entire product lifecycle in mind—considering material selection, production, usage, and end-of-life—ensures regulatory compliance and long-term value for businesses and the planet. By integrating sustainable practices early in the design process, companies can reduce waste, optimize resources and minimize environmental impact.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform is your key to overcoming these challenges. It revolutionizes design and engineering processes by fostering real collaboration on a virtual twin. This enables your teams to seamlessly integrate new technologies throughout the product lifecycle and implement advanced workflows. From exploring innovative designs to testing and refining performance early in development, the platform empowers you to stay ahead of the competition while embedding sustainability into your operations.
Join us for this two-day conference in Munich, June 4–5, to enhance efficiency, foster collaboration, and embark on a journey of innovation.
Gain valuable insights from our customers, industry champions, and CATIA experts as they share their expertise to help you navigate industry transformations, embrace sustainable design practices and drive your business growth.
We look forward to welcoming you there!
