Unlocking Engineering Potential with the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform
At Hamilton By Design, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and efficiency in industrial design and engineering. One of the most powerful tools enabling this shift is the 3DEXPERIENCE platform by Dassault Systèmes — a cloud-based, integrated environment that transforms how engineering, design, and manufacturing teams collaborate and operate.
But what makes this platform such a game-changer, particularly in heavy industrial environments?
A Unified Digital Ecosystem
Traditional design and engineering workflows often involve disjointed software systems, siloed communication, and a lack of visibility across teams. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform solves these challenges by offering a centralised digital workspace. It unifies CAD, simulation, data management, and project collaboration under one roof.
At Hamilton By Design, this means we can collaborate with clients, suppliers, and internal teams in real time — reducing delays, increasing transparency, and ensuring version control is never an issue.
Smarter Collaboration and Real-Time Decision-Making
For industrial clients, time is money. Delays caused by miscommunication or outdated files can cost thousands in downtime. With the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, all stakeholders — from engineers and designers to procurement and management — can access a single source of truth, anytime, anywhere.
Changes to 3D models, drawings, or requirements are reflected instantly across the platform. That kind of visibility ensures we’re always aligned with the project vision, improving decision-making speed and accuracy.
Advanced 3D Modelling and Simulation
Designing for complex environments — such as processing plants, mines, or heavy machinery installations — requires robust tools. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform delivers powerful 3D modelling and simulation capabilities through applications like CATIA, SIMULIA, and ENOVIA.
Whether we’re reverse engineering existing assets from LIDAR scans or developing new plant layouts, the platform helps us validate designs early through simulation and stress testing. This leads to fewer surprises during fabrication or installation, and stronger, safer designs.
Integration with LIDAR Scanning and Point Cloud Data
At Hamilton By Design, we often start projects using high-resolution LIDAR scans, capturing real-world conditions with millimetre precision. The 3DEXPERIENCE platform allows seamless integration of point cloud data, enabling our team to design directly within real-world geometry — reducing fitment issues and rework.
This integration ensures we don’t just create models — we create smart, context-aware models that interact meaningfully with the physical world.
Scalability and Security
As a cloud-based system, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform is scalable and secure. Whether we’re working on a small component upgrade or a large-scale plant overhaul, we can expand our toolset, users, and data storage with ease — all while maintaining enterprise-level data protection.
Conclusion
The 3DEXPERIENCE platform empowers Hamilton By Design to deliver faster, smarter, and more integrated engineering solutions. For clients in the heavy industrial space, it means fewer risks, better collaboration, and a clear digital path from concept to completion.
