Case Study: Chikusui Canycom achieves 30% faster product development with Dassault Systemes' CATIA

Developing sophisticated product designs faster with CATIA

Chikusui Canycom, Inc., a maker of mower equipment and industrial carriers, faced pressure to develop stylish, functional products faster to compete with established European rivals and protect profit margins. After evaluating 3D CAD systems, Chikusui Canycom selected CATIA from Dassault Systemes as its global product development platform to speed design and improve quality.

Using Dassault Systemes' CATIA, Chikusui Canycom moved from multiple physical prototypes to virtual 3D design workflows, leveraging analysis and sheet‑metal modules and feeding CAD data directly to production tools. The company launched two new products within three years, reduced development and production‑readiness time by about 30%, cut prototype counts from two–three to roughly one, and positioned itself to accelerate global sales and tighter CAD/CAM integration.
