Dassault Systèmes has begun negotiations with Sogeti High Tech, a subsidiary of Capgemini Group, to sign an additive manufacturing project development and management partnership to enable companies in aerospace and defence, energy and transportation to explore the use of additive manufacturing.
As part of the agreement, Sogeti High Tech, a company focussed on industrial engineering and technology innovation, will leverage Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform to deliver consulting, engineering, integration and deployment services to its customers worldwide.
Dassault Systèmes’ platform addresses the end-to-end process of additive manufacturing such as upstream material design, downstream manufacturing processes and testing. It provides a single flow of data for engineering parameters including material science, functional specification, generative design, 3D printing optimisation, multi-robotic production and certification.
“Our forthcoming alliance partnership with Dassault Systèmes will bring a disruptive offering of technologies, knowledge, methods, processes, support, services and workforce training to business needs in the digital manufacturing era,” said Jean-Pierre Petit, CEO, Sogeti High Tech. “By leveraging each company’s core capabilities, we can help customers to integrate the necessary manufacturing requirements from the early stages of design and make additive manufacturing accessible at an industrial level.”

“Digital experience is at the core of the transformation in manufacturing in which companies are taking advantage of emerging machines, materials and processes, and freeing themselves of traditional manufacturing constraints,” said Laurent Blanchard, Executive Vice President, Global Field Operations (EMEAR), Worldwide Alliances and Services, Dassault Systèmes. “Sogeti High Tech has been a system integration alliance partner of Dassault Systèmes since 2008. Our planned expanded collaboration extends digital solutions to companies looking to experience new performance and innovation milestones. The proposed new alliance partnership would also reinforce Dassault Systèmes’ overall commitment to helping clients digitally transform their business on a global basis through stronger consulting and systems integration alliances.”
