Accessible on the Cloud, the social functions of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform facilitate the design of complex 3D shapes for future drones
“The 3DEXPERIENCE Company”, the world leader in 3D creation software, 3D digital models and product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions, announces that the company Parrot, developer and distributor of products without high-tech wire for consumers and businesses, used their SOLIDWORKS Industrial Designer application to design complex 3D shapes for a future range of drones. Thanks to this application and the use of Cloud functions developed by Dassault Systèmes, Parrot’s teams of engineers and designers have benefited from significant advantages in terms of social collaboration.
“The SOLIDWORKS Industrial Designer application allowed us to develop an innovative idea in record time, without being penalized by the challenges traditionally associated with design software,” said Henri Seydoux, Founder and CEO of Parrot. “SOLIDWORKS Industrial Designer is the next generation of software for the design industry. “
SOLIDWORKS Industrial Designer integrates the social, conceptual, and collaborative aspects of design into the experience age and provides engineers with an intuitive, cloud-based tool to design, collaborate, and accelerate the design process from initial concept to final product. , anytime, anywhere. Its enriched surface functions were used by Parrot engineers and designers to design complex 3D shapes previously unimaginable before moving easily to mechanical design. The social collaboration tools in this new application have also enabled Parrot teams based in France and China to collaborate seamlessly throughout the process in order to create organic shapes in a short timeframe.
The industry of drones, those unmanned aerial vehicles, is booming for many reasons, from the simple pleasure that individuals take to potential applications in the commercial and military sectors. The success of a drone in the market depends to a large extent on technological improvements in structure, weight, stability, dimensions, maneuverability and power consumption.
“Parrot has been using SOLIDWORKS for over 10 years to design a range of high technology products. We were therefore convinced that the SOLIDWORKS Industrial Designer solution would complement and add value to existing SOLIDWORKS projects, ”said Gian Paolo Bassi, general manager of SOLIDWORKS at Dassault Systèmes. “Parrot is one of the first customers in the world to use this software as part of a preliminary test program. The realization of its drone projects is a testament to the possibilities that our application can bring to the worlds of engineering and design. “
SOLIDWORKS Industrial Designer was officially launched at the SOLIDWORKS World 2015 User Conference held at the Phoenix Convention Center (Arizona) in the presence of Henri Seydoux who explained how this application contributed to the experience. by Parrot.
