Lectra announces the launch of DesignConcept Furniture V2R3,
its 3D/2D design and virtual prototyping solution for
furniture
A real lever to optimize processes, this new version meets
the requirements of the most demanding furniture
manufacturers
Paris, April 23, 2012 - Lectra, the world leader in
integrated technology solutions dedicated to industries using
soft materials-textiles, leather, industrial fabrics, and
composite materials-is pleased to announce the launch of
DesignConcept Furniture V2R3, its innovative solution for
designing and developing 3D/2D products, dedicated to the
furniture industry.
Dominated by China, the world's leading exporter, the
furniture market has become extremely competitive. To keep
customers and increase their market share, manufacturers must
review their product development processes to combine
permanent innovation, quick commercialization, and optimized
costs.
Developed for this rapidly changing sector, DesignConcept
Furniture is the most comprehensive 2D/3D design and virtual
prototyping solution on the market. It enables manufacturers
to respond quickly to biddings from retailers and any other
professional, who requires furniture, while providing them
with a larger choice of styles, designs, materials and
colors, to facilitate their arbitrations. DesignConcept
Furniture facilitates the estimation of costs on the basis of
a 3D virtual model and limits the number of actual, very
expensive, manufactured prototypes during design reviews.
Last but not least, it enables manufacturers to study the
technical feasibility of a model to ensure rapid development
and impeccable quality.
"Top of the range furniture brands, such as specialized
distribution chains, are looking for new economic models to
combine creativity and competitiveness, in a sector that is
recently facing globalization" said Daniel Harari,
Lectra CEO. "Associated with Lectra's fabric and leather
cutting room solutions, DesignConcept Furniture meets the
challenges of furniture manufacturers, composed mostly of
integrated design and manufacturing companies. By reducing
the development phase by 30-50%, this new version enables
them to increase their competitive advantage by reducing the
cost of implementation and the timeframe for marketing
products. It is a perfect tool for taking decisions".
DesignConcept Furniture V2R3: from designing to manufacturing
models
With DesignConcept Furniture V2R3, manufacturers can develop
a virtual model from designers' sketches, and then optimize
its style, technical feasibility, and cost; before even
making the first prototype. DesignConcept Furniture
significantly reduces the number of actual prototypes needed
during the validation phase. Preliminary assessments include
the estimation of fabric or leather consumption, but also
of wood or foam for structure, as well as labor and the
complete list of supplies required for the lining.

Furthermore, DesignConcept Furniture helps shorten the time
to market thanks to integrated management of associated
technical specifications; any changes made to the model are
automatically postponed in the documentation (bill of
materials, sewing plans, assembly line...). DesignConcept
Furniture enables manufacturers to limit the number of
iterations, while meeting their quality requirements.
Part of Lectra's comprehensive solutions, from design to
production, DesignConcept Furniture comes with specific
service offers.
