The Caxa V5 technology has been developed as part of an alliance between the two companies announced last November, which resulted in the creation of a joint R&D center operated by Caxa in Beijing. The end products have been built on Dassault Systemes’ Component Application Architecture Version 5 (CAA V5) platform.
The Caxa V5, according to the companies, will offer manufacturers in China a product lifecycle management (PLM) alternative to the popular 2D applications that are currently in use, allowing them to model and optimize the design-to-production cycle digitally. It is hoped that this will increase the country’s standing in 3D PLM technology.
The release of Caxa V5 signals a new era for the Chinese CAD/CAM/PLM industry, said Lei Yi, president of Caxa. 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 product covers drafting (2D interactive and generative), product design, interfaces, product review and manufacturing (prismatic and 3 axes). Its integration capabilities will also enable customers to retain their current investments in CAD/CAM applications.
