Kyocera Mita Switches to CoCreate
High-Tech Leader Expedites Development of Office Document Solutions
FORT COLLINS, Colorado, SINDELFINGEN, Germany and TOKYO, Japan - October 2, 2006 - CoCreate Software Inc., a leading provider of 3rd Generation PLM software applications, today announced that Kyocera Mita, one of the world's largest high-tech manufacturers of office document solutions, has switched to CoCreate's 3D CAD, OneSpace Designer Modeling. Usage is expanding across multiple development projects as CoCreate's 3D system is promoted for company-wide use.
Kyocera Mita had formerly implemented 3D product design with a history-based 3D CAD tool. However, Kyocera Mita has now switched to OneSpace Designer Modeling to achieve the following benefits:
o Build a design environment capable of handling larger assemblies and execute design validation much more quickly.
o Establish Design for Manufacturability (DFM) throughout development, including considerations for mold design.
o Front-load design in order to speed processes downstream of product development.
CoCreate's Dynamic Modeling(TM) based approach to 3D design offers ease of use while enabling fast and flexible response to unexpected changes throughout product development. These benefits are unique to CoCreate's history-free approach to 3D CAD, which is free of the limitations characteristic of a history tree.
In the high-tech electronic machinery industry, intense time to market pressures, rapid obsolesce, and shifting market requirements are pressures companies face every day. Product development demands a Dynamic Modeling based approach to overcome these challenges, which is why high-tech leaders, such as Kyocera Mita, choose CoCreate.
Additionally, OneSpace Designer Modeling's lighter file format delivers smoother handling of large assembly data. And CoCreate's design inspection capabilities work effectively to improve design quality - preventing cost and schedule overruns associated with redesign efforts on released designs.
With CoCreate's 3D system, Kyocera Mita is positioned for more efficient design development and productivity improvements throughout the product lifecycle.
The electronic office document machinery industry has come to look most often to CoCreate to satisfy their PLM/CAD needs.
