and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Metalworkers are explicit about 3D modelling from
CoCreate Software, which we summarised at the time by saying "New 3D CAD environment modularises product development processes, including bidirectional integration of PDM and ERP systems".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Forklift manufacturer chooses CAD system from
CoCreate Software: "Manitou relies on OneSpace Modeling's Dynamic Modeling approach to 3D product development to help engineers flexibly change models as new ideas arise".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Dassault Systemes
concerning its Catia PLM Express
- take a look at PLM system helps electric car company
which says: "For the development of its next-generation electric vehicle, a four-door performance sedan, Tesla is rolling out Dassault Systemes' Catia PLM Express".
Take a look also at the news release from Siemens Automation and Drives, Seal manufacturer makes PLM choice,
as well as Strapping company chooses modelling software from CoCreate Software,
and Lathe company makes CAD choice from CoCreate Software.
