CATIA Composites Design for Manufacturing (CPM) provides process oriented tools dedicated to manufacturing preparation of composites parts. CPM targets aerospace, automotive, consumer goods and shipbuilding industries OEMs and suppliers. With the powerful synchronization capabilities, CPM is the essential link between engineering design and physical manufacturing, allowing suppliers to closely collaborate with their OEMs in the composite design process. With CPM, manufacturing engineers can include all manufacturing and producibility constraints in the composites design process. This product completes the composites design solution, taking advantage of CATIA V5 architecture: native integration, pervasive knowledgeware capabilities, and CATIA V5's ease-of-use.
