Germany's HDW Selects VISTAGY FiberSIM
 WALTHAM,
MA, Nov 20, 2008 - VISTAGY, Inc., a leading global provider of specialized
engineering software, today announced that Howaldtswerke-Deutsch Werft GmbH
(HDW), a company of the ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, has purchased FiberSIM
software to design and manufacture parts for submarines made of advanced
composite materials. By moving from a manual to an automated solution with
FiberSIM, HDW will be able to develop an initial design more quickly and
understand the impact of design changes earlier in the process. HDW was
particularly interested in the FiberSIM Laser Projection software because it
enables engineers to reduce errors and shorten the layup time for composite
parts by displaying ply outlines directly on the layup tool.
HDW chose FiberSIM because it wanted to improve the link between
engineering tools, enhance the flexibility for creating documentation so
engineers can access essential data faster and easier on the manufacturing
floor, and streamline and improve the overall quality of the
design-to-manufacture process.
“We’re very pleased to be working with one of the world’s leading
shipbuilding companies on developing composite parts for submarines,” said
Scott Carlyle, vice president of worldwide sales for VISTAGY. “The use of
composite materials in the marine industry is growing rapidly, so companies
that have been engineering composites manually are now faced with the need
to change the way they think about the entire process. We look forward to
working closely with HDW and applying VISTAGY’s extensive experience in
composites engineering to build the next generation of submarines that take
advantage of the benefits that composites can bring to the marine industry.”
