CATIA Natural Sketch

The Dassault Systèmes (DS) company announced in November, 2011 an exit of CATIA Natural Sketch, the unique solution for the creation of 3D sketches which integrated in itself simplicity of creativity with opportunities of realistic 3D modeling - now to create sketches in 3D also easily, as well as on paper. CATIA Natural Sketch offers absolutely new experience which promotes the solution of creative tasks and erases barriers during the work in 3D.

The designer of cars Alexandre Meyer adds: "The improbable ergonomic step forward - it is easier, than to draw a feather on paper. The effective mode of work with concepts and one of the first technologies focused on design. This technology will change all understanding about workflow".

The solution CATIA Natural Sketch also allows to avoid inconsistency of workflow throughout all cycle of creation of design samples. Transition from a thought to real construction is, as a rule, very difficult. The thought-up sketch can be not implementable in the 3D format, and in the course of creation of a 3D model errors are not excluded from an original 2D sketch.

Work with CATIA Natural Sketch allows developers to understand better conceived and to provide it in the 3D format, to avoid incorrect interpretation of the intention and most intelligibly to inform of the ideas. Modeling tools of CATIA give the chance to designers and to design studios to use 3D sketches for preliminary modeling. In the course of the 2D conversion of a sketch to a digital 3D model it is possible to avoid mismatch between project intention and the end result thanks to what the quality of design considerably improves.

After the solution CATIA Live Rendering for interactive, photorealistic visualization, CATIA Natural Sketch became a crucial element of new strategy of design from Dassault Systèmes. CATIA Natural Sketch completes the solution CATIA for Creative Designers which at the moment integrates tools for creation of 3D sketches, models concepts of superficial modeling, prototypes and visualization. CATIA for Creative Designers integrates workflow of creation of design samples in a unified environment, from development of the concept, before design of finished goods in the 3D format.
