Dassault Systèmes, Cranfield collaborate on 3DExperience centre of excellence | Computer Weekly
Summary
Dassault Systèmes and Cranfield University are launching the 3DExperience Edu Centre of Excellence, in an effort to push forward digital experiences and present the knowledge and know-how that will enable the next generation of students, technicians, engineers and innovators to thrive in the aerospace industry’s transformation journey toward digitisation and sustainability. The campus facility will provide experiential, initial and lifelong learning with Dassault Systèmes’ 3DExperience platform, empowering the existing and future workforce to accelerate the digital and sustainable transformation of the aerospace industry. It will help learners to boost employability by developing in-demand skills in virtual twin processes, data-driven manufacturing and sustainable design, in the context of existing and future job roles. “The journey towards digitisation and sustainability will only be possible if the right skills are developed within the workforce,” said John Kitchingman, managing director of EuroNorth and global vice-president for customer engagement at Dassault Systèmes. “Its network of 3DExperience Edu Centres of Excellence across the world will also provide invaluable knowledge-sharing opportunities, and we’re excited to work together to foster sustainable innovation and empower the workforce of today and of tomorrow.”
