Canon will use NX software, Siemens PLM Software's digital product development software and Teamcenter software, Siemens PLM Software's collaborative product data management solution.
Canon Image Communication Products Operations, a Siemens PLM Software customer since 1990, began using digital product development technology because the company recognised the advantage it provided in creating the complex shapes of curved surfaces such as those contained in the camera body.
"NX has already demonstrated its strength as a communication tool by further enhancing the exchange of data between each of the design divisions".
"We expect Teamcenter's proven collaborative product data management capabilities to further enhance collaboration and innovation throughout the Canon group and its affiliates, allowing Canon to continue its tradition of providing customers innovative imaging technology to help make their creative visions a reality", Canon said.
Tony Affuso, Chairman and CEO of Siemens PLM Software said "Siemens PLM Software's NX and Teamcenter will enable Canon to enhance innovation and collaboration, speed up the development cycle, improve its competitive strength and solidify its position as a leader in the precision electronics industry by bringing even more best-in-class products to market faster".
