Dassault Systèmes recently presented at its 3DEXPERIENCE WORLD 2022 virtual conference the tools for planning electric cars and many other products in a way that will bring us closer to a circular economy
Dassault Systèmes, the 3DEXPERIENCE company, dedicated the opening meeting of its virtual 3DEXPERIENCE WORLD 2022 event to emphasizing one of the company's main goals - improving the lives of all of us by providing tools for innovative and collaborative design of products in order to promote sustainability. As Gian Paolo Bassi, Senior Vice President, 3DEXPERIENCE WORKS declared, "Innovation is everywhere. Our mission is to lower the barriers to science and technology and our contribution to human imagination and creativity is the key to solving the big problems that we, and future generations, face and will face."
The session was packed with examples of ways innovative startups around the world are using the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to imagine, design, and co-produce sustainable new products that contribute to sustainable living. Rise Robotics' electric piston, which replaces hydraulic pistons to improve the environment by converting heavy equipment based on combustion engines to more efficient electric designs, and SparkCharge, the designer of the world's first fast, portable, and modular DC charging unit that allows electric vehicle owners to charge their vehicle anytime, anywhere place, thereby overcoming one of the main barriers to realizing the transformation of transportation powered by combustion engines to electric transportation, are just two of those presented.
Cities are more than a collection of buildings and streets
"The world's innovators and engineers are bound together by imagination and by the power of turning imagination into reality," said Bernard Scherle, Dassault Systèmes Vice Chairman and CEO. Charles referred to the magic of virtual worlds in expanding the human imagination to enhance the physical world. "We, at Dassault Systèmes, and you, participate in the experience economy, where the use of products is more valuable than the products themselves," he continued. "Mobility today is more than just vehicles - it deals with enjoyable and sustainable mobility experiences. Similarly, the provision of health services is more than just disease prevention, but rather it is related to the patient experience and precision medicine. Cities today are more than just a collection of buildings and streets, but in referring to them we Dealing with quality of life and quality of services."
"I was a car for nine years"
"I was a car for nine years," was the intriguing caption on one of the slides he presented, with an image of a collection of blocks of material. "This is the world we want to build with our software, in the communities of our users. A world where everything, including the material, can clarify what was or will become. A world where we only talk about reuse.' In a business process that does not produce products, but experiences, in a factory of experiences where these experiences are first planned and become practically producible, before they are converted into real experiences in the real world," explained Sharla.
He mentioned that forty years ago Dassault Systèmes made it possible through its software to create for the first time a virtual twin for an airplane before it was built. "And now we can create a virtual twin of most complex systems, including the human body." Creating meaningful experiences with these digital possibilities requires imagination. 'Imagination to convert knowledge into innovations', according to Sharla, who pointed to the new 3DEXPERIENCE laboratory available to designers and engineers to design 'things for a sustainable life'.
