Press Release
Informative Graphics, Seemage Partner To Engage PLM Market With Advanced 2D/3D Applications
SCOTTSDALE, Arizona — June 13, 2006 Informative
Graphics Corporation (IGC), a leader in content visualization,
secure publishing and collaboration technology, today announced
its partnership with Seemage, an emerging leader in the Mockup,
Visualization and Publishing (MVP) market. Seemage is
headquartered in France, with U.S. operations based in Boston
and offices in Chicago and Detroit. Seemage provides a portfolio
of products and solutions targeted towards mechanical design,
specifically for automotive and aerospace industries.
Informative Graphics will be working
closely to enhance Seemage’s 3D visualization solution with
associated 2D drawings, images and documents. The combined
technology will be positioned as a competitive visualization
component for Product Lifecycle Management/Product Data
Management (PLM/PDM) deployments.
Seemage’s MVP solution enables users to
extract the relevant product and process data from the
enterprise repositories and to generate outputs, such as raster
and vector images, PDFs and Microsoft Office or HTML documents
and clash results. The combined IGC/Seemage efforts will focus
on delivering a non-intrusive component that improves
collaboration among team members and maximizes project review
efficiency and timeliness, reducing potential design errors that
inflate costs or decrease quality.
“Seemage has an impressive set of high-end
3D visualization functionality — such as digital mock-up and
interference checking — that is well-suited for collaboration
among design engineers and manufacturers,” explains Gary Heath,
IGC’s CEO. “It’s a natural fit to combine 2D technology, which
is our strength, with theirs to create vital 2D references to 3D
design files. There is already a lot of momentum building behind
Seemage’s brand and products in the U.S. manufacturing market
and we’re going to help leverage that further.”
“Virtualization is now the main driver of
productivity gains in manufacturing. Seemage’s non-invasive MVP
products enable users to access, to manipulate, to reason about
and to publish product information,” said Eric Piccuezzu, CEO at
Seemage. “In manufacturing there is a great deal of 2D content
(drawings, design spec documents) that relates to the 3D
designs. Our partnership with Informative Graphics will help us
deliver a superior, combined 3D and 2D solution to our valued
customers.”
About Seemage
Seemage is an emerging leader in the MVP
solutions market with a wide range of customers that include
Faurecia, Delphi, SNECMA, Alcatel Space, and Eurocopter, a
subsidiary of EADS. Incorporated in November 2002, Seemage is
backed by three venture capital companies.
Seemage MVP perception tools simplify the
inherent product lifecycle complexity by providing different
perspectives, and by quickly filtering the core information from
the complete model. Seemage’s MVP products enable participants
to make and share all decisions, based on the full evidence in
context.
