  CATIA
 

Devised and developed by Dassault Systems in France,
CATIA
(Computer-Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Application)
is acclaimed throughout the world as the leading program for use in design. CATIA offers unequalled scope of functionality, together with total integration of all its functions, thereby ensuring that its users are able to address the most challenging design tasks, and then translate those into realistic, manufacturable products.

It also opens up new frontiers in Concurrent Engineering, leading to better designs, at lower cost, in significantly shorter time. With a development history stretching over more than 15 years, CATIA has proven itself in every imaginable industry, and with the availability of Release 5, which operates on a PC platform, is accessible by even the smallest of manufacturers.

CATIA is the world's leading CAD/CAM/CAE software. This software gives you a broad range of integrated solutions that cover all aspects of:

 
  • Product design and manufacture
  • Driving enterprise competitiveness
  • Task productivity Process improvement.
CATIA CAD CAM CNC Design Consultants, South Africa

CATIA provides easy to use solutions tailored to the needs of small and medium sized enterprises as well as large industrial corporations in all industries:

 
  • Consumer Goods,
  • Fabrication & Assembly,
  • Electrical & Electronics goods,
  • Automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding and process plants.


Companies of all sizes, in all industries, have common requirements and constraints when it comes to designing, optimizing, manufacturing, delivering and supporting products. In many cases they also need to interact with or collaborate with other companies. Responding faster to markets or to changing customer needs, optimizing products to reduce production or aftersales support costs, adding innovative features while meeting tight deadlines... these are common day-to-day concerns that most industries encounter..

Starting from their own strong industrial backgrounds, and with impressive track records for meeting customer needs, IBM and Dassault Systèmes are proud to introduce the centerpiece of their complete e-business Product Lifecycle Management Solutions: CATIA.

CATIA is an integrated suite of software applications covering all aspects of product design: Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), whether by providing the necessary functionality to support collaborative product designs of all types, or the seamless integration that allows full support of company processes, end-to-end (or "bumper to bumper," as Automotive users would say...)

The unique features and robustness of CATIA help serve the needs of more than 24 000 customers today across the planet, gathering users for more than 180,000 seats in daily production. Check out what customers and analysts say!
