Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :DASTY) (Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY DSY Drum Storage Yard .PA) today announced the availability of CAXA V5, a new generation of integrated and scalable 2D and 3D PLM solutions for the Chinese market that embed V5 technology components from Dassault Systemes. These CAXA V5 solutions are the result of a Dassault Systemes-CAXA partnership announced last November and software development carried out in a joint R&D center operated by CAXA in Beijing. The center combines CAXA's R&D expertise and technology, along with its more than 10 years of experience in the Chinese market, with Dassault Systemes' 3D PLM solutions and V5 technology components. The CAXA V5 solutions consist of fully integrated 2D and 3D PLM applications developed in China specifically for the Chinese market. The solutions are built on top of Dassault Systemes' Component Application Architecture Version 5 (CAA Caa See CCC. V5) platform. China has advanced rapidly in the past decade as a global manufacturer, but the majority of Chinese manufacturers still use 2D applications. CAXA V5 offers a China-engineered PLM alternative that will enable small and medium-sized Chinese businesses to model and optimize the design-to-production cycle digitally, even while working in 2D, and to grow at their own pace into full-fledged 3D PLM users. CAXA V5 provides a complete spectrum of solutions that covers drafting (2D interactive and generative), product design (including part, assembly, surface, mold, piping and tubing, sheet metal, welding, and steelworks), interfaces (including STEP, STL (STereoLithography) A 3D printing file format created by 3D Systems for its stereolithography system. Also supported by many numerical control, rapid prototyping and rapid manufacturing machines, STL provides the surface geometry of the item in triangles. , and all major CAD systems), product review (including digital mock-up mock·up also mock-up n. 1. A usually full-sized scale model of a structure, used for demonstration, study, or testing. 2. A layout of printed matter. , rendering, and analysis), and manufacturing (prismatic pris·mat·ic also pris·mat·i·cal adj. 1. Of, relating to, resembling, or being a prism. 2. Formed by refraction of light through a prism. Used of a spectrum of light. 3. Brilliantly colored; iridescent. and 3 axes). Integration capabilities in the solution will enable customers to retain their current investments in CAD/CAM applications. "The release of CAXA V5 signals a new era for the Chinese CAD/CAM/PLM industry," said Dr. Lei Yi, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

"Now, Chinese manufacturers have the opportunity to take part in the PLM revolution that is leading to greater efficiencies and lower production costs for manufacturers the world over. The release of this new solution is the culmination of a partnership with Dassault Systemes in which both companies have focused on creating a Chinese solution in China and have succeeded in producing a truly transformative technology." "Our factory uses a lot of 2D CAD, along with some 3D applications, in routine product development," said Jiang Ning, IT manager of Chongqing Tiema Gearbox Co. Ltd, a Chinese vehicle transmission manufacturer. "CAXA V5 is the first solution that seamlessly integrates both 2D and 3D PLM. This solution suits our type of operation very well. On one hand, we can immediately enjoy the benefits of adopting PLM. At the same time, we can gradually expand 3D applications at our own pace. As an existing CAXA customer, we are pleased to see CAXA's rapid growth, with its new products meeting international standards. We look forward to enjoying the value that CAXA V5 will create for us." "The release of CAXA V5 demonstrates our commitment to work with Chinese industrials on the flexibility of the open V5 architecture to develop China-engineered solutions for the Chinese market," said Bernard Charles, president and CEO, Dassault Systemes. "CAXA V5 will bring PLM value in both 2D and 3D to Chinese industry, enabling manufacturers to embrace PLM at their own pace and to ultimately benefit from the worldwide success of CATIA A family of 2D and 3D CAD programs from IBM. CATIA was one of the first CAD programs to provide 3D solid modeling. The program was developed by Dassault Systems, a French aerospace company. , ENOVIA, DELMIA DELMIA Digital Enterprise Lean Manufacturing Interactive Application and SMARTEAM."
