 | | | Virtual design drives actual production |  Numerical Control manufacturing (NC manufacturing) solutions from IBM help you use computerized 3-D models of product designs to accurately simulate and drive your manufacturing processes. Based on the CATIA application suite from Dassault Systemes, our solution is designed to optimize your production processes and resources to increase productivity and shorten lead times. |
| | | | The know-how | NC manufacturing solutions are backed by: - The experience of more than 10,000 successful product lifecycle management (PLM) implementations.
- Over 1,300 services and engineering professionals dedicated to PLM worldwide.
The CATIA application suite from Dassault Systemes has established an impressive PLM leadership position. - More than 80 percent of large commercial and regional aircraft designers use CATIA.
- More than 80 percent of helicopter designers use CATIA.
- 19 of the top 30 automotive manufacturers use CATIA as their core design system.
- 9 of the 11 Formula One teams use CATIA for either chassis or engine design.

| | | | Streamline production | Whether installed as a stand-alone application or as part of an end-to-end product lifecycle management solution, NC manufacturing solutions support the machining process from roughing to finishing: - Streamline modeling and production processes.
- Avoid repetitive tasks in case of design changes.
- Standardize your manufacturing environment.
- Speed design-for-manufacturing and manufacturing.
With our solution you can: - Generate, visualize and modify NC data.
- Validate manufacturing processes and analyze the accuracy of machined parts.
Our solution can: - Offer a wide set of flexible machining operations to help manufacturers reduce cycle time.
- Enable users to manage tools, feeds and speeds in file-based tool catalogs that help in choosing the right tool for the job at hand.
- Help users easily identify and implement standards that adhere to your company?s best practices.
- Create 3-D animations that replicate the production process to spot mistakes early and make improvements before actual machining begins.

| | | | On the shop floor | Before using CATIA, an Austrian company specializing in complex mold and die constructions found it difficult to migrate design data to the manufacturing stage. When the company switched to an integrated solution, based on CATIA, they significantly reduced the time required to migrate data from design to manufacturing.
In addition, our customer estimates that they have reduced their time to market by 40 percent since implementing NC manufacturing solutions. The CATIA solution has helped them reduce time to market and react more quickly to design changes. |
| | | | Getting your money?s worth | Implementing NC manufacturing solutions can help you: - Save money and increase efficiency by validating manufacturing processes prior to production.
- Reduce design, programming and manufacturing time through automation.
- Save time and leverage your previous design investment by easily transferring geometry data from previous work?including designs created with other systems.
