Case Study: NExT accelerates smart urban mobility vehicle design with Dassault Systèmes

NExT Future Mobility: Smart Urban Mobility | Customer Story

NExT, an Italian startup, faced challenges designing its innovative modular electric vehicles using its previous CAD system, which struggled with large assemblies and made collaboration difficult. To overcome these obstacles and accelerate its design process, NExT adopted Dassault Systèmes' cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform for startups, which included CATIA for design.

The solution from Dassault Systèmes enabled NExT's engineers to design parts in the context of the entire vehicle assembly, drastically improving speed and precision. The cloud-based platform facilitated real-time collaboration and provided access to a library of pre-designed components, saving significant time and money. As a result, NExT has designed and manufactured nine prototype vehicles currently being tested, with mass production planned to begin in 2025.
