Christophe Vaison, a recognized driver and stuntman, created Vaison Sport<\/a> in 1999. For over 10 years, the company took part in the Dakar Rally raid, a cross-country, long-distance, off-road race covering thousands of miles over unpredictable territory. Most competitive sections are off-road, crossing dunes, mud, rocks, and other dangerous terrain. Each stage of the race covers approximately 500 miles per day, taking a toll on both participants and their vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat experience helps the company to deliver competition and military vehicles that can endure harsh environments and keep on going strong,\u201d says Head Engineer Matthieu Parent. Today the company specializes in the design of competition vehicles, cars used in stunt shows<\/a>, as well as vehicles for military use.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fast Vehicle Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turnaround time is one of the keys to Vaison Sport serving its customers well. \u201cNowadays, vehicle or machine prototypes need to be produced in a very short space of time,\u201d says Parent. Plus, the company has numerous people working simultaneously on a single project, which quickly becomes an endless management challenge.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s one of the reasons Viason Sport chose 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE\u00ae Works<\/a>. \u201cFor us, the advantage of using the [cloud-based] 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform is that it allows different people to collaborate on the same piece of work,\u201d states Parent.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fast & Flexible Working Environment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another advantage is the option of combining different applications. The platform enables Viason Sport to keep using both CATIA and SOLIDWORKS CAD design solutions. \u201cIn all of our projects, we have to work with different types of software,\u201d says Parent. \u201cThe 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform lets you mix the two designs [CATIA and SOLIDWORKS<\/a>], thereby reducing conversion time when working on projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Viason Sport product development team works from all over the globe. \u201cFor us, the advantage of the cloud is that it’s secure and offers access to our files wherever we are in the world,\u201d emphasizes Parent. \u201cWe always have our files at hand and with no disruption to the [physical] work in the workshop.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, all the information generated during Viason Sport\u2019s product development process is automatically collected on the cloud-based 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform. The files are in one place and can be accessed by anyone, at any time. \u201cYou just need an internet connection,\u201d says Mechanical Design Engineer Antoine LaGache. \u201cThat’s what makes it [the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform] useful.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Get Help Fast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Viason Sport gets software support from their local reseller AvenAo, which helps the design engineers work more efficiently. The design team can easily get help with their questions, which keeps them productively working on projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt [the 3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform] is really the cornerstone of everything,\u201d concludes Parent. \u201cIt’s the key that’s going to let us take a big step forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
