Southfield, MI –Sept 9, 2002 - Elysium Inc., a leading global provider of CAD translation software, today announced a strategic partnership with CAMTEX GmbH, a consulting and software solutions provider serving manufacturing industries across Germany.
Under the Strategic Sales Partner agreement, CAMTEX will distribute and manage sales efforts of Elysium’s CAD data translation products throughout Germany. Elysium’s CADporter™ and CADdoctor™ products provide almost 100% success rate during CAD data conversion, and support collaborative engineering environments using CATIA® V4 and V5, Pro/ENGINEER®, SolidWorks®, Autodesk Inventor®, Parasolid®, I-DEAS®, and Autodesk Mechanical Desktop®.
“CAMTEX has applied smart business sense to the German manufacturing market and has gained an invaluable reputation as a supplier of quality engineering software support, services and sales,” commented Ken Tashiro, COO and VP, Elysium Inc. “We are happy to reach an agreement with this caliber of solution provider.”
“Our clients need interoperability for their 3D CAD data,” stated Steffen Volkmar, CEO, CAMTEX GmbH. “Elysium’s products have the highest success rate in the industry, the best development and the best support for its products. We chose Elysium products because of this.”
“Elysium offers our Autodesk Inventor customers powerful new possibilities for data exchange,” said Wolfgang Lynen of Autodesk Europe. “Customers replacing legacy CAD systems with Autodesk Inventor now have excellent migration tools, experience and implementation knowledge at their fingertips.”
CAMTEX , an Autodesk Partner, will distribute and support Elysium’s products throughout the German region and will manage other resellers of Elysium’s products within the region. They will sell Elysium’s CADporter and CADdoctor products. These technologies exhibit superior 3-D geometry translation, repair and healing. They handle the differing topological representations of the supported CAD systems and can perform automatic healing to resolve inconsistencies that regularly occur during the conversion of surface and solid CAD models. These products allow true interoperability between ACIS®-based applications, Autodesk Inventor®, CATIA®, I-DEAS®, Pro/ENGINEER®, SolidWorks® and Unigraphics® with the industry’s highest translation success rate. This rapid exchange facilitates improvement in designer productivity and reduces cost associated with incompatible translation tools by reading and writing true native file formats.
