Siemens and CADENAS extend Partnership
2013-12-05Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software business unit and CADENAS have extended their partnership to provide students in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) related fields, with free access to a popular product design productivity tool used by the global manufacturing industry. Siemens PLM Software’s academic partners – including students, researchers and educators can now quickly and efficiently find and download standard parts from a massive digital database based on CADENAS’ widely-used PARTcommunity technology. By providing academia with the same technology used by many companies in the global manufacturing industry to instantly access millions of 3D parts from more than 400 manufacturers, Siemens and CADENAS are helping to further align STEM education with real-world job opportunities.
“Our academic programme is focussed on developing a highly trained and heavily recruited PLM workforce. Student engineers and computer scientists who work with real-world data like this can be stronger graduates. In addition, they can save time and increase their productivity using standard parts just like our customers do every day,” said Bill Boswell, Senior Director of Partner Strategy, Siemens PLM Software.
“Engineering excellence can only be achieved with practical orientation. Students are now able to use the same resources as the industry pros,” said Jürgen Heimbach, CEO, CADENAS.
The CADENAS catalogue supports all of the 3D data formats relevant to the global manufacturing industry, including those associated with Siemens’ NX software, Solid Edge software and the JT data format.
