think3 and Cimmetry Partner to Boost Design Productivity

Posted on: Wednesday, 29 October 2003, 06:00 CST

think3, the fastest growing company in the product lifecycle management (PLM) industry, and Cimmetry Systems, the leader in visualization and collaboration technology for the Engineering, Manufacturing, A/E/C, and Electronics markets, today announced that think3 has licensed Cimmetry's AutoVue visualization product for use within its thinkteam product data management solution.

The integration of Cimmetry's AutoVue technology with thinkteam will further boost designers' productivity. Design engineers already benefit from thinkteam's ability to capture, organize, automate and share product information within design engineering and throughout the rest of the enterprise. The addition of AutoVue extends thinkteam's functionality to enable users across the extended enterprise to view, markup and share engineering drawings and models, while maintaining the integrity of the information. It will also allow design engineers to manage and view their legacy data in virtually any format without the need for translation. (Formats supported include 2D CAD, 3D CAD, EDA PCB/IC layouts, schematics and office documents).

"think3's laser focus on the mid-sized manufacturing market has made it one of the fastest growing PLM and design solution providers on the market," said Michael Vidmar, business development manager at Cimmetry. "With the addition of Cimmetry's visualization and collaboration capabilities to the thinkteam product, think3 meets its ongoing commitment to deliver ever-increasing benefits to its customers."

"Cimmetry's best-of-breed visualization and collaboration technology is a terrific complement to thinkteam," said Dan Meyer, vice president of worldwide marketing for think3. "We pride ourselves on delivering the mid-market's finest set of integrated product development solutions. With AutoVue embedded in thinkteam, we further demonstrate our goal to help our customers increase productivity and streamline their product development process."

Together thinkteam and AutoVue address major engineering and manufacturing pain points and deliver measurable business benefits by effectively helping customers reduce the time to design products, decrease the number of review cycles, lower the number of design errors and ultimately accelerate their time-to-market.
