Honda Life Creation Center, part of Honda R&D, designs lawnmowers, generators, and other powered products. The organization adopted the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and CATIA to shift from 2D sketches to integrated 3D modeling, material application, and virtual reality reviews. Designers report faster iteration, easier part reuse, and improved cross-functional collaboration with engineers and modelers.

Key takeaways

3DEXPERIENCE platform replaced fragmented 2D-to-3D workflows with a single integrated environment

CATIA Imagine & Shape and Sketch Tracer enable direct translation of sketches into volumetric models

Real-time collaboration and VR reviews allow designers, modelers, and engineers to validate size, fit, and maintainability

Design reuse and part search improved through centralized data on the platform

Focus shifted to aesthetic appeal and user experience for electric and engine-powered consumer products
