Better Visualization of BOMs in 3D by Volker Berbohm BENTELER Automotive not only develops innovative lightweight vehicle components for a variety of uses in the automotive industry but also the materials and manufacturing technology required to do this. Pioneering new approaches is the key to the renowned automotive supplier's success. This also applies to the way in which it makes use of IT: With PROSTEP's support, it has made its engineering BOMs 3D capable. Greater Efficiency in Joint Projects by Udo Hering Although the number of joint ventures and joint development projects has been increasing for years, there are no suitable tools available that allow development partners to share their data and coordinate their work.

No CAD System Menagerie Thanks to OpenDESC.com by Sergej Bondar Automotive suppliers are often faced with the question of whether to design parts using the same CAD system that their customers employ or converting them into the desired format afterwards. One leading global manufacturer of valve seat inserts and valve guides decided against acquiring a "menagerie" of CAD systems because of the cost involved and uses the conversion service OpenDESC.com instead. It ensures that customers receive the CAD data on time and with the desired level of quality.
