3DEXPERIENCE platform

Business Profile

Core Value Proposition

3DEXPERIENCE platform delivers a single cloud-based platform to bring together all aspects of a business—design, simulation, manufacturing, and collaboration—to increase collaboration, improve execution and accelerate innovation.

Target Customer

Engineering, product development, and manufacturing teams; executives and decision makers; startups and large enterprises across industries seeking a digital twin and collaborative lifecycle platform.

Key Differentiator

Unified, cloud-based platform that supports virtual twins of products and supply chains, with a single digital thread across design, development, and production, plus built-in collaboration and data management capabilities.

Implementation Timeline

Cloud-based implementation enables rapid rollout; for Monceau Automobiles, training included three days of CATIA training with ongoing support; projects typically leverage a fast cloud-based deployment path.

Pain Points

1Fragmented data and silos across design, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain.
2Difficulty managing large volumes of product data and ensuring consistent data flow across teams.
3Need to accelerate product innovation while enabling sustainable design and personalized or customized products.

Key Features

13D modeling and simulation applications for product development.
2Virtual twins of products and supply chains for end-to-end digital representation.
3Cloud-based platform enabling collaboration and data sharing across global teams.
4Integrated portfolio including CATIA for design, ENOVIA for PDM/PM, DELMIA for MES, SIMULIA for simulation, and 3DEXCITE for visualization.
5One platform with social, collaborative, and information intelligence applications.
