Engineering solutions for developing better consumer sports and leisure products
Simulation solutions for engineering optimization allows engineers to apply virtual twins to improve product performance, lower development costs, and improve product quality. Sporting & leisure goods manufacturers integrate simulation with design as part of product development to reduce the amount of physical prototypes and:
- Test and optimize products with integrated design and simulation
- Optimize for sustainability and streamline the supply chain
- Develop complex smart products with a traceable systems engineering approach
Improve sustainability by optimizing the supply chain
Manufacturers aiming to deliver high quality products at a fair price want solutions that optimize the entire product lifecycle. (This approach includes the circularity of the product). How? Typically engineers and do a life cycle assessment or LCA. LCA allows product teams to use LCA to evaluate materials, product design, manufacturing processes and more to improve their sustainability score. By using LCA and a platform-based approach allows companies to review decisions BEFORE they’re implemented. The most effective stage is the early phases of product development. That’s back up with the often-cited statistic that up to 80% of a product’s (or service’s) design determines its environmental impact throughout its lifecycle.
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform and industry solutions on the cloud provide a single source of truth (design through manufacturing). See the “sustainability makeover” of five products in The Positive Home Project.
Data and Artificial Intelligence
Companies have the option of using artificial intelligence for AI guided procurement. This unique technology allows planners to link engineering and procurement data (i.e., Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Quality Management Systems (QMS)) to quickly find similar or identical parts. Information accessible through a seamless user interface allows efficient sourcing and purchasing. Finding the best parts that minimize carbon footprint while realizing continuous sourcing improvement.
By evaluate business processes using virtual twins manufacturers confidently make better decisions. Manufacturers can quickly make modifications early to minimize disruptions in the supply change or get ahead of changes in consumer demand.
Digital Strategy for Consumer Goods
Discover the benefits of a full digital strategy for consumer products. See the possibilities of this sustainable development approach. Watch the video of the development of the next generation power tool. By integrating every step of the product lifecycle, teams (engineering to marketing) work together in real time. Speed consumer products to market using a Commercial twin for ecommerce and offer interactive and immersive product experiences. The open 3DEXPERIENCE platform on the cloud works with other CAD solutions in addition to market leading CATIA and SOLIDWORKS.
3D CAD for High-Quality Visuals
Digital first strategies embrace using Engineering Computer Aided Design (CAD) models for marketing and commercial virtual twins. With this approach, 3D CAD data becomes compelling product experiences that can be deployed at scale to reach customers at every touchpoint –marketing, ecommerce, and service after the sale. Digital continuity continues and replaces manual processes by using a Commercial Twin of the engineering model which has a much lighter file size and does not include product intellectual property (IP). Marketing uses this light model to create interactive experiences (animations, Virtual Reality (VR))

Discover how virtual prototypes, using simulation driven design, deliver safer, high performance helmets for sport enthusiasts and every day consumers.
Digital Transformation for Consumer Product Development and Manufacturing FAQ
Companies that embrace digital transformation and the 3DEXPERIENCE platform bring together all aspects of their business on a single platform. This approach allows companies to increase collaboration, improve execution and accelerate innovation by optimizing business and engineering processes.
Dassault Systemes industry solutions for makers of consumer goods (for the home, home décor, lifestyle products and more) provide collaborative virtual environments for product innovation. By creating virtual twins of the physical world with the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and applications, companies can improve product lifecycle management (PLM) by improving business and engineering processes from design to delivery.
Simulation-driven design applies simulation in the design phase on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to improve and speed up product design validation. As an open platform, companies can integrate industry leading SIMULIA simulation apps with either a Dassault Systems CAD solution (i.e., CATIA or SOLIDWORKS), or one of many compatible CAD solutions. With a simulation-driven design approach engineers and designers can solve complex product tasks. For example, engineers can evaluate the performance, reliability, and safety of materials and products before committing to physical prototypes.
With the flexible, cloud-based access from the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, companies can scale up and scale down teams as needed. This accelerates activity across the product lifecycle.
One missing or wrong part can delay a product launch, increasing costs and potentially impacting quality. With growing global disruptions, companies need reliable suppliers of the right parts. Collaborating on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, Engineering and Procurement professionals have the information they require to source the right parts from a vendor nearby, economically and efficiently.
