Business Benefits
The solution you need to improve processes
Mechanical designAre your products introduced into the market on time? Mechanical design solutions can help engineers speed up production with sophisticated design and collaboration tools. Our solutions encourage information sharing between departments and external partners to streamline product development by working more efficiently and sharing knowledge early in the process to reduce delays.

The advantage
Why IBM?
Mechanical design solutions leverage our extensive product lifecycle management (PLM) experience and put it to work for you.
  • We have over 20 years of development experience with Dassault Systemes.
  • IBM has over 150,000 services professionals in 160 countries, with over 1,000 professionals dedicated to PLM.
  • IBM can provide you with an end-to-end PLM solution.
  • With more than 10,000 successful PLM implementations, the most comprehensive and integrated solution portfolio, IBM has the capability to implement the right PLM solution for your business.

The benefits
Practical design solutions for today’s businesses
Mechanical design solutions give you the tools to help you implement a sophisticated standards-based architecture, which enables collaborative design and offers the following opportunities:
  • Digital mock-ups—full digital prototyping that allows computerized analyses.
  • Generative, specification-driven, hybrid designs—a single data model provides multiple representations of a task, without the worry of data integrity or exchange; also offers the optional ability to:
    • Specify design parameters.
    • Enable a system check to ensure design meets desired constraints.
  • Design navigation—simplifies the location and subsequent modification of individual components within complex design.
  • Web-based collaborative design—supports the ability to work concurrently on the latest version of a design.
  • Intuitive specification driven modelling—provides design products for solid, hybrid and sheet metal part design, assembly design, and integrated drafting.
  • Design validation—delivers validation tools for systems installation, assembly and disassembly of products before manufacturing, including complete manufacturing tolerances specifications.

The approach
Get the most from your investment
From creation to validation of the complete design, mechanical design and modeling solutions can provide you with the tools to facilitate optimal design processes and collaboration.

Now you can benefit from the ability to:
  • Maximize and reuse design information across different product development programs.
  • Capture and share best practices and automate tasks to maximize the value of development investments.
  • Validate designs against corporate standards or manufacturing constraints with design rules that reduce change orders.
  • Easily drive changes in the design at any stage of its development without introducing massive delays.

The financial advantage
Maximize your revenue
Mechanical design solutions are designed to help you adapt quickly to individual customer preferences and shorten production time, while maximizing revenue. We can help you:
  • Reduce operating costs associated with product research and development.
  • Improve product time-to-market to improve your competitive position.
  • Develop more innovative and personalized products to increase revenue.
