Computer Aided Technology, Inc. and Seemage Formally Announce Strategic Alliance
Computer Aided Technology, Inc. (CATI) and Seemage strengthen their partnership in an effort to assist CATI customers revolutionize the reuse of 3D data and bring Seemage to the market.
Seemage allows users to create and maintain content for product documentation. By reusing SolidWorks models and other digital product data, Seemage produces product deliverables such as manufacturing procedures, assembly manuals, product instructions, technical illustrations, training manuals, sales & marketing documents, etc.
Seemage, recently acquired by Dassault Systemes and subsequently incorporated into the 3DVIA brand, has partnered with CATI since 2006.
CATI and Seemage personnel channeled combined efforts to introduce this technology to CATI customers in need of a system to create and maintain product documentation. The result was a number of events held in April entitled "Beyond 3D." In response to the overwhelming interest, the teams collaborated again to create an accessible webcast called "Unleashing 3D" hosted in August which drew almost 200 attendees.
Sentry Equipment Corp., a leading manufacturer of sampling equipment and systems, recently brought Seemage into Sentry's tool chest of technology solutions. Steve Howe, a Product Engineer, explains, "Seemage was chosen because our marketing and sales team required engineering data but do not know CAD. With Seemage, these folks can utilize engineering data effectively for brochures, website animations and tech pubs. I can depend on CATI's ability to scan the market for technology solutions that can help us solve real problems."
CATI President, Rich Werneth, echoed the ongoing commitment of CATI to deliver innovative technologies to its customer base. "Seemage is the nonpareil of technical publications and is a critical tool enabling our customers to move beyond 3D. Seemage has been a great partner to CATI and our customers. We look forward to expanding our relationship with 3DVIA as part of the Dassault family."
CATI and 3DVIA will jointly host a Seemage webcast and a subsequent Seemage hands-on session next week. To register for the webcast (Nov 14th at 1 pm) or hands-on session (Nov 16th at 8:30 am and also at 12:30 pm) email us at cati@cati.com .
