DP Technology Expands Agreement with Siemens PLM Software
DP Technology, an innovative leader in the computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) sector and author of the ESPRIT® CAM systems, recently signed an agreement with Siemens PLM Software — a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services — to extend the use of Parasolid® software, a geometric modeling component for demanding 3D applications, in its ESPRIT CAM software.
The standard base license of the ESPRIT 2000 series will now utilize the Parasolid Designer level functionality, thereby offering the advanced solid modeling capabilities of ESPRIT, previously an optional product, as a standard component of the software. The ESPRIT Mold version of the software will, for the first time, utilize Parasolid Communicator as part of its standard base license.
“Utilizing this new technology, ESPRIT will now offer significantly more modeling and interoperability capabilities within the ESPRIT base license,” said Chuck Mathews, DP’s vice president. “Interoperatbility that was previously unavailable within ESPRIT Mold and advanced modeling capabilities that were optionally available at additional cost are now both included within the base product. The change provides our customers with significantly more capability and value.”
“As the PLM industry’s leading provider of open solutions, we are pleased when a progressive company like DP Technology leverages one of our software components to enhance value for their customers,” said Chris Kelley, vice president of Partner and Platform Marketing, Siemens PLM Software. “With today’s announcement, the robust quality and functionality of Parasolid is now available to every ESPRIT customer.”
Existing ESPRIT customers with active software maintenance contracts will receive these upgrades at no additional cost as part of their existing service agreement with DP Technology.
