“ So it ' s not just about saving time . You could be saving material , you could be saving cost , you could be getting fundamentally a better product ”

Better products The 3DEXPERIENCE platform approach has many obvious benefits for businesses , allowing previously siloed stages and departments to work together – finetuning designs , and optimising in a way that previously would have been prohibitively expensive and time consuming .
“ The 3DEXPERIENCE is about freeing up collaborative communication and enabling people to innovate faster , to explore more , to be more effective ,” says Alan Prior , VP of Industry Solutions at Dassault Systèmes . “ Ultimately , to get better products and services .”
“ Essentially we have one source of truth , one source of data . All the stakeholders – the designers , engineers , analysts , marketing – collaborate on that same set of data in that one environment . However , they each see that data through the lens of their own role .”
Prior says while time reductions are significant , there is greater value to be achieved . “ We can see opportunities for clients to use this technology in so many ways : to switch to more sustainable materials , for example ,” he says . “ We can see opportunities for clients to build in better recycling capability or improved production methods before they get to full-scale prototype production . So it ' s not just about saving time . You could be saving material , you could be saving cost , and you could be getting a fundamentally superior product .”
Prior goes on to say he believes there is market pressure on manufacturers to respond to demands from consumers – particularly when it comes to reducing packaging , reducing waste , and using more environmentally friendly materials .
