Helping cross-disciplinary teams be the first movers on big ideas.
Finally, CAD for mechatronic teams is here.
There is growing demand for robotics, with more industries looking to automate workflows and optimize workforces. For companies that can meet those needs – leveraging skills and knowledge across CAD design, mechanical and electrical engineering, control and software – there are huge opportunities ahead.
There’s never been more pressure to design, innovate and deliver robotics design innovation at speed. Rest assured, cloud-native CAD with built-in PDM is here to accelerate your agile design process. At last, collaboration between your cross-disciplinary teams can be centered around a shared, real-time view of the CAD model.
