Case Study: Metabo GmbH accelerates product development with Dassault Systèmes CATIA and ENOVIA

Metabo GmbH

Metabo GmbH, a long-established German manufacturer of power tools, faced a time-consuming and sequential product development process that required many alterations. To address this challenge, they partnered with Dassault Systèmes to implement a new process focused on parallel development using the CATIA and ENOVIA SmarTeam solutions.

The solution from Dassault Systèmes enabled multifunctional teams to collaborate from the earliest design stages using a single master model in CATIA, which allowed for rapid propagation of changes across all disciplines. This resulted in a drastically reduced construction time, with a virtual prototype 80% complete within six weeks. By implementing this concept, Metabo shortened its time to market for new products by several months.
