3D Systems hat soeben den Kauf der israelischen CAD/CAM Software Firma Cimatron für den Betrag von $ 97 Millionen verkündet.
Damit soll das Unternehmen angeblich dem Konkurrenten 3D Systems folgen, der im September diesen Jahres die Online Plattform GrabCAD gekauft hat. Durch die Übernahme von Cimatrons Portfolio mit den Haupt-Produktreihen GibbsCAM und CimatronE, stärkt 3D Systems seine Position in der Fertigungsindustrie, als Anbieter von CAD Design über Prototyping bis hin zur Produktion.
“We believe that the perfect strategic fit between our businesses, combined with expanded capabilities in product development, channel coverage and marketing, could present sizeable synergies that together offer significant long-term customer benefits and shareholder value,” commented Avi Reichental, President and CEO of 3DS.
“We are delighted to combine our leading 3D CAD/CAM software products with 3DS’ expanding design and manufacturing digital thread,” said Danny Haran, CEO of Cimatron. “We have always been focused on providing comprehensive, cost-effective solutions that streamline manufacturing cycles and shorten product delivery time, and as part of 3DS we can substantially accelerate our progress and extend our reach and impact”.
