ICAM Technologies and Dassault Systemes Sign an Original Software Development Partnership

Integration of ICAM’s CAM-POST® NC Post-Processing Technology within CATIA V5

 

Paris (France) and Montreal (Canada), March 14, 2002 – Dassault Systemes (Nasdaq: DASTY; Euronext Paris: #13065, DSY.PA) and ICAM Technologies Corporation announced today the signing of an Original Software Development (OSD) Agreement. Under the agreement ICAM’s CAM-POST® customized Numerical Control (NC) Post-Processing technology will be embedded into the open architecture of Dassault Systemes’ CATIA V5R8 CAD/CAM/CAE software solution, and other Dassault Systemes solutions. <br/>

 

 

The resulting product is designed to provide a framework for both ICAM Technologies Corporation and Dassault Systemes to deliver the most robust, comprehensive solution for a wide range of customer manufacturing needs from product creation to development. <br/>

 

 

 

“We are especially pleased to have signed this agreement with Dassault Systemes. ICAM’s extensive experience in the aerospace, automotive and defense industries, and our reputation for product innovation, quality, and service is well matched with Dassault Systemes,” explained John Nassr Jr., President of ICAM Technologies. “With this agreement our joint customers can look forward to a next-generation solution unequaled in the industry.”
