"These Dassault Systèmes developments are a significant step forward in incorporating large-format printing into the manufacturing workflow," said Enrique Lores, vice president and general manager, Inkjet Commercial Division, HP. "Dassault Systèmes and HP have worked together for a number of years with the common goal of providing an outstanding experience to customers. Today, by deeply integrating the HP Designjet 4000 Printer series with CATIA V5, we can ensure a fast, convenient, high-quality and easy-to-use printing experience for the leading manufacturing companies in the world."
The HP Designjet 4000 is now natively integrated in CATIA V5, providing more powerful and open printing capabilities. PLM customers also benefit from having full UNIX-Windows compatibility and the same functional level on both platforms.
CATIA V5 customers can expect an enhanced printing experience through greater productivity, ease of use, and superior image quality as well as excellent reliability, whether printing images or models of simple wire frames to complex 3-D models printed with 3D Realistic Rendering. Additionally, HP’s simultaneous processing and printing technique further increases print thoughput.
"It is always important to cover all the critical aspects of PLM, and printing high-quality color posters or drawings is fully part of it," said Gilles Touboul, Manager R&D Print, TechPub and Graphics Formats, Dassault Systèmes. "Our customers also demand precision for official validation and legal support in many industries. When designing parts with .01 depths for some elements, it is required to reflect this same precision on the printed document. Dassault Systèmes is proud to contribute to providing PLM customers with the best printing experience while using HP printers, and in particular the large-format HP Designjet 4000 Printer series. With these developments, we intend to simplify the complex workflow of printing models and images as well as technical documentation."
