SHoP Architects: 3DEXPERIENCE Platform for Design for Fabrication
Case study showing how SHoP Architects uses Dassault Systemes 3DEXPERIENCE on cloud with CATIA and ENOVIA for Design for Fabrication on complex global projects.
SHoP Architects adopted the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage fabrication data, and maintain real-time visibility across design offices, fabricators in Cape Town, and construction sites. The platform supports Design for Fabrication workflows from concept through component-level traceability and enables direct NC code generation from CATIA models. Cloud-based ENOVIA dashboards and templates reduce information loss and speed collaboration across time zones.
3DEXPERIENCE on cloud provides single source of truth for global stakeholders across design, fabrication, and construction phases.
Design for Fabrication enables direct model-to-fabrication data flow, eliminating translation steps between heterogeneous systems.
Reusable templates capture process knowledge to reduce duplication on projects with unique components.
Live ENOVIA dashboards allow role-specific views for rapid decision making at any project maturity stage.
End-to-end traceability from ideation through component fabrication supports lifecycle management and sustainability goals.
