DS has World’s Largest Share in the Computer-Aided Manufacturing Software Market
PARIS, France, June 12, 2007 - Dassault Systèmes, a
world leader in 3D and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solutions,
today announced that it has been named the global market share leader
in computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software revenue by the
international technology research firm CIMdata.
Dassault Systèmes is the top company in vendor revenues received and
end user payments, according to CIMdata's 2006 NC Software and Related
Services Market Assessment Report. The report evaluated between 20 and
30 vendors in various CAM market leadership categories. Dassault
Systèmes’ closest competitors in the PLM industry lost market share.
Dassault Systèmes also ranked among the five largest brands in terms
of industrial seats shipped.
“The CAM market remains fragmented, despite
recent acquisitions. Dassault Systèmes’ revenue leadership illustrates
the value customers perceive in integrated CAD/CAM and digital
manufacturing capabilities,” said Alan Christman, CIMdata
chairman and primary author of the report.
CAM is an important part of PLM implementations. It spans
computer-aided design (CAD) and digital manufacturing, enabling
companies to design production operations faster and more accurately
than through conventional processes.
“This ranking validates the value we bring to
our customers through our investments in new product and technology
R&D, and also in our sales and support channels,” said
Jacques Leveillé-Nizerolle, CATIA brand CEO, Dassault Systèmes.
“CAM is a major link in the PLM chain, and we
have worked hard to provide our customers with CAM products that help
them realize the maximum return on their PLM investments.”
Companies in a wide range of industries, including aerospace,
automotive, medical equipment, shipbuilding and consumer goods, use
DS’s CATIA® design authoring solution for a variety of computer-aided
manufacturing tasks, from toolpath generation and verification for
simple lathe machining, 2.5 axis machining and very complex five axis
machining, all the way to post-processing functions. CATIA’s native
link to DS’s DELMIA® digital manufacturing solutions allow efficient
manufacturing modeling, machining process planning and CMM support in
a virtual 3D environment.
