Dassault Systèmes DEVCON 2009. New Campus, New Tech, Little Info.

by Josh on June 23, 2009 · View Comments

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Ya see that shiny new building in the image to the left? That’s the new Dassault Systèmes (DS) campus in Vélizy, France and home to the 2009 Dassault Developers Conference (DEVCON 2009).

So far, there’s little information escaping the glass edifice of the DS headquarters, except for the occasional tweet (#DSDEVCON09) and the typical press release that doesn’t get into the intense grittiness we enjoy. We’ve had mention of the following. Interested in one of them? Let me know and I’ll release the hounds to get all the info we can manage to fit into a family size can of green beans.

What’s being talked about

42 new V6 products (only??)
3DVia app for the iPhone
Multi-touch PLM demo
Objet Connex 500 multi-material printing
New partners: Mydeco, Dosch design, Wirecare
Dassault alliance with BluKiwi (‘Enterprise Social Software’)
Cloud Modeling with Live Shape (a staircase)
Server-based 3d photorealism (Mental Images)

PS. all these topics, I got via the DSDEVCON09 twitter stream, not off the web, or email or conference notes. keep tweetin’ folks.

Josh M June 23, 2009 at 10:40 pm: Hey Matthew, I'm really interested to see how DS is planning on integrating the bluekiwi product, if it's going to be used throughout the DS family of products and how it relates to what they are trying to do with PLM 2.0 and product development in general. It looks cool, but seems like it would be disconnected from the design environment.
