3CON, an Austrian manufacturer of automotive interior production machinery, implemented the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to unify design, NC programming, and project management across sites in Austria, China, and North America. The integrated CATIA, DELMIA, and ENOVIA applications eliminated data conversions, enabled real-time BOM cost tracking, and supported modular design reuse. Results include faster client collaboration, 30% higher design productivity, and 50% shorter machine start-up phases at customer sites.

Key takeaways

Unified 3DEXPERIENCE platform replaced disconnected tools for design, NC programming, and BOM management

Real-time cost and schedule visibility from early design stages reduced budget overruns

Modular part reuse and standardized workflows cut design time by 30%

Remote access and role-based approvals enabled concurrent work across three continents

Digital work instructions and issue tracking reduced machine commissioning time by 50%
