Itipack S.r.l. Speeds Response to Market Demands with CoCreate Software
Manufacturer of strapping machinery moves to 3D with CoCreate OneSpace Modeling

FORT COLLINS, Colo. and SINDELFINGEN, Germany – October 19, 2007 – CoCreate Software, Inc., a leading provider of 3rd generation PLM software applications for high-tech electronics and machinery, today announced that Itipack S.r.l. has recently upgraded its CAD technology with the adoption of CoCreate OneSpace Modeling.

Based in Villaverla near Vicenza, Italy, Itipack S.r.l. specializes in the production of strapping systems. With an 11,000 square meter site, the company has exported hundreds of machines all over the world. Itipack credits its success in part to continuous investments in advanced technology.

In this respect, work with CoCreate products has been going on for several years, now. At first, Itipack used CoCreate OneSpace Drafting (formerly ME10), CoCreate's 2D design software. When Itipack decided to optimize product development with a 3D CAD system, it chose OneSpace Modeling.

Itipack now plans to develop its projects entirely in 3D to obtain better product quality and avoid possible issues in production. "With OneSpace Modeling, we can check interference and clashing parts, as well as carry out simulation that was quite complicated or not feasible with 2D," says Morgan Grigolato, IT Manager, Itipack. "We are very satisfied with this software and we consider it better than others we have tried, especially when it comes to flexibility with unexpected last-minute changes required by the customer."

Itipack has also implemented CoCreate OneSpace Model Manager for data storage and management and added FE Analysis for OneSpace Modeling. "Having a single 2D/3D CAD solution integrated with the PDM system delivers great benefits to our business," says Grigolato. "It helps us accelerate our response to market demands, as well as reuse the design heritage available in the company." At Itipack, 17 Model Manager licenses have been integrated with the ERP system.

Itipack works with CoCreate reseller EIT in building and supporting its product development environment.
