PLM integration specialist PROSTEP is relying on software from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen to provide improved support for customers in the automotive industry.

PROSTEP intends to use the Heidelberg CAx Quality Manager, one of the tools developed by the company's Engineering Consulting division for safeguarding CAD data quality, in its data exchange platform OpenDESC.com. "This means improved data quality for our well over 200 OpenDESC.com customers worldwide," said Josip Stjepandic, head of the 3D product creation business unit at PROSTEP. "We have developed a methodology that processes the native data from different CAD systems completely automatically, and at the same time also satisfies the quality requirements of automobile manufacturers who are currently making changes to their system landscape."
