ICEM Surf now supported on Linux
ICEM Ltd today announced that its ICEM Surf 3D surface modelling and evaluation software suite is to be made available for the Linux open source operating system.
Having been developed on Dassault Systemes' CAA V5 software architecture, it integrates seamlessly with the Catia V5 CAD/CAM software suite and CAA V5-based product lifecycle management (PLM) environments.
"ICEM Shape Design will be a key component of our overall PLM software environment", said Tadeus Kischa, co-founder and co-owner of KS engineering , who is responsible for business development.
