Case Study: GIKEN (design & prototyping firm) achieves faster design turnaround and market expansion with Dassault Systèmes' CATIA for Creative Designers

New business opportunities thanks to CATIA for Creative Designers

GIKEN, a 25‑employee firm that transformed from prototype mold production into a one‑stop design and small‑lot production provider, needed to better integrate its design, engineering and production processes to win new business. To address this challenge GIKEN adopted CATIA for Creative Designers from Dassault Systemes as its core industrial‑design tool.

Dassault Systemes’ CATIA for Creative Designers delivered rapid, intuitive 3D modeling, photorealistic renderings and 3D‑printable models that made proposals more persuasive and sped up development. The tool improved project-team efficiency, shortened development cycles to about one‑third of previous times (for example, a nameplate design finished in under two weeks versus a planned month), and helped GIKEN capture new markets and accelerate sales.
