weba prepares for the future with CATIA V5R19

Innovations in design software are a key driver for efficiency, quality, and competitiveness in the automotive industry. Companies that adopt new technologies early create the foundation to meet customer requirements quickly and precisely. By switching to the latest CATIA V5R19, weba Werkzeugbau GmbH has taken an important step in this direction.

CATIA as an industry standard

CATIA (Computer Aided Three-Dimensional Interactive Application) is a leading CAD/CAM/CAE software solution from Dassault Systèmes. It has been considered the industry standard in the international automotive and aerospace sectors for many years. CATIA enables the three-dimensional design, simulation, and manufacturing preparation of complex products. The system integrates all design steps in one platform, ensuring maximum efficiency and accuracy.

Migration to the latest version

Until recently, most German OEMs worked with CATIA V5 Release 16. This version has now been clearly surpassed in terms of functions and content by the latest V5R19 release. Some car manufacturers have already started developing new projects with V5R19. While it will still take some time until the first parts in this version arrive at weba, the company is fully prepared and ready to apply the advantages of the new software to upcoming projects.

Long-standing experience as a solid foundation

Since 2003, weba has used CATIA V5 productively in all relevant areas of the group. Over the years, the company has built extensive know-how that allows for fast and precise tool development – from the first design stages to the fully detailed tool including all manufacturing-relevant information. This experience ensures that the switch to a new version runs smoothly and directly contributes to greater efficiency.

Productivity through new features

Each new CATIA release brings improvements that enhance daily work in design and production. weba consistently leverages these features to optimize processes, shorten development times, and increase productivity. With CATIA V5R19, weba is set to execute projects faster, more efficiently, and with an even stronger technological edge.

By upgrading to CATIA V5R19, weba underlines its commitment to continuous investment in technology and expertise. This strategy not only safeguards international competitiveness but also further strengthens cooperation with car manufacturers and suppliers.
