Case Study: EV startup Canoo achieves faster time-to-market and global design collaboration with Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE

Canoo - Customer Case Study

Canoo, a California EV startup creating subscription-based vehicles, needed a cloud-based digital collaboration platform to coordinate design and engineering experts around the world and meet an ambitious 2021 go-to-market target. To avoid building and managing server infrastructure while enabling global teamwork on its novel "skateboard" vehicle architecture, Canoo turned to Dassault Systemes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud.

Dassault Systemes’ 3DEXPERIENCE solution enabled concurrent design and engineering across suppliers and continents, scaling Canoo from five to more than 150 collaborators, eliminating server overhead, and simplifying license and user onboarding. Leveraging SFE-enabled CAE-to-CAD workflows, Canoo produced a full vehicle CAE model in two weeks (syncing with CAD within six months), accelerated development cycles, and stayed on track to introduce its first vehicle while focusing resources on product innovation and customization.
