Extend CATIA for Connected Product Development

Build on your existing environment with Cloud Services to improve collaboration, modernize PLM and drive continuous innovation.

CATIA continues to provide the design and engineering capabilities manufacturers rely on to develop complex products. But increasing product complexity, distributed teams and growing demands for quality, sustainability and compliance require organizations to connect design with the broader product lifecycle.

Whether your teams use CATIA V5 or CATIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, you can modernize by building on your existing environment without disrupting established workflows. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform extends the value of CATIA by connecting people, processes and trusted product information in a secure, collaborative environment.

With this connected foundation, organizations can improve engineering collaboration, strengthen product governance and expand Product Lifecycle Management capabilities across design, manufacturing, quality and the extended value network, at a pace that aligns with business priorities.

When you’re doing something as complicated as building a vehicle from the ground up, it’s essential that we have a very mature, stable and durable PLM platform... It must be able to scale with us as we continue to evolve, and that’s exactly what the 3DEXPERIENCE platform delivers.

Modernize While Building on Your Existing CATIA Environment

Modernization does not require organizations to leave their existing CATIA environment or disrupt proven engineering processes. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform provides a flexible path that allows organizations to build on their current environment, adopt new capabilities and expand at their own pace.

For CATIA V5 users, Cloud Services extends existing design capabilities to a secure, connected environment. Teams can continue working with CATIA V5 while improving collaboration, product data access and coordination across distributed engineering organizations.

For CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE users, modernization means expanding beyond design and collaboration to take advantage of more of the platform’s integrated PLM capabilities. Organizations can connect additional processes, disciplines and stakeholders while building greater continuity across the product lifecycle.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform will help us to develop and share the critical steps of requirements, ensure we’re developing the aircraft according to those requirements, do validation and also manage the certification of the aircraft with the authorities. It’s a one-stop shop and single source of truth for Vertical Aerospace and our business partners that allows us to work concurrently wherever we are in the world.

One Platform. Your Environment. Your Pace.

Every organization is at a different stage of its modernization journey. Some need to connect distributed CATIA V5 teams and product data, while others use CATIA on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform but have yet to take advantage of its full PLM capabilities.

The first step is identifying where disconnected data, manual processes and limited visibility are creating bottlenecks. From there, organizations can prioritize the capabilities that deliver the greatest business value and expand as their needs evolve.

Cloud Services provide the secure foundation for connected engineering, while the 3DEXPERIENCE platform enables organizations to build on that foundation with lifecycle governance, quality, sustainability, virtual twins and Industrial AI. Instead of a one-time migration, organizations can expand capabilities over time to create a connected product development environment that improves collaboration, protects engineering knowledge and accelerates innovation.
