Seemage, Inc. announced today that the world champion ING Renault F1 Team has selected Seemage software to deliver 3D information to its engine development team. Formula 1, the world’s premier auto racing series, demands V8 engines featuring extremely sophisticated engine technology, which requires designers to use the most advanced design systems to ensure performance and reliability. Utilizing Seemage as part of its larger product lifecycle management (PLM) deployment helps ING Renault F1 Team realize its most competitive designs more quickly and accurately.
Although engine designers frequently handle 3D design data in their daily activities, this information has not been readily available to everyone outside the design team. Many others in ING Renault F1 Team also need access to design information for numerous tasks, including design reviews and service procedures. The 3D CAD model of the engine is the ideal source information for these kinds of tasks, but the information must be available in formats and applications that people who are not designers can use. This is why the engine development department of the ING Renault F1 Team began to search for ways to distribute CATIA(R) V4 and V5 designs more widely.

The ING Renault F1 Team compared a number of different solutions before choosing Seemage for its performance, simplicity of use and cost.
“We were looking for a solution that could operate in a global environment, across all our teams, “ explains Jean-Francois Plusquellec, IS/IT Team Project Manager, ING Renault F1 Team. “The people who use Seemage do not have the same requirements as 3D CAD users. We selected Seemage over the competition because of its excellent end-user productivity, its graphic and 3D animation performance and its highly accurate results even when using large assemblies or large sets of equipment. “
