China Engineering Graphics Society Selects Solid Edge as the Standard for "National 3D Modeling" Training and Certification Program
UGS Corp. announced China Engineering Graphics Society (CEGS) selected Solid Edge® software, UGS' 3D computer-aided design (CAD) system for the mainstream PLM market, as the standard for "National 3D Modeling" Training and Certification Program.
The "National 3D Modeling " Training and Certification Program provides users with publishable, verifiable evidence that they have achieved a level of proficiency with Solid Edge modeling skills, thereby creating a Certified 3D Modeling Professional.
"It is a great cooperation between UGS and China Engineering Graphics Society to work together to provide 3D modeling technology to the academic market and manufacturers in China," said Bryan Hu, Solid Edge business manager for UGS China and Hong Kong. "With its enhanced Evolve to 3D capability and powerful combination of tools and processes, Solid Edge enables designers to make a smooth and successful transition to 3D. CEGS selection of Solid Edge proves that Solid Edge is the mainstream CAD system in China 3D CAD market."
In the 2005 cooperation program, UGS agreed to provide 5,000 academic licenses of Solid Edge, as well as strong technical support and training books for China Engineering Graphics Society and all of its sub-branches in China. CEGS will organize and hold the "National 3D Modeling" training and certification program in Xiamen, Jinan, Shenzhen and Xian City. Hundreds of teachers from universities and professional colleges will attend this training and then become qualified trainers by passing the certification test. This program illustrates UGS' commitment to invest and cultivate academic 3D modeling in China.
"China manufacturers have realized that evolving to a highly flexible and robust 3D digital product development system is essential to remaining competitive," said Mr. Jia Huanming, General Secretary, CEGS. "CEGS, with high prestige in China Engineering Graphics field, has taken on the responsibility to help 2D users smoothly move to 3D by launching the "National 3D Modeling" training and certification program. We chose Solid Edge as the standard system because of its easy Evolve to 3D program, powerful 3D modeling and many other advanced functions. In addition, our selection was based on UGS' support services and worldwide leadership in PLM field, which gave us great confidence that together we can provide advanced 3D technology and outstanding modeling tools for design engineers. "
UGS and CEGS expect the program to drive the application of Digital Product Design in Chinese manufacturers by extending the 3D modeling skills in the university, professional colleges and manufacturing enterprises.
