Missler Software Renews Its Long-Term Commitment to Parasolid as the Geometry Engine for Its TopSolid and GOelan CAD/CAM Product Lines After Comprehensive Six Month Evaluation of the Industry's Most Widely Used Technologies

UGS Corp., a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services, today announced that Missler Software, a leading global CAD/CAM/ERP supplier, has made a long- term commitment to retaining Parasolid software as the underlying 3D geometric modeling software for its entire computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) product line. The decision was made after Missler Software conducted an exhaustive six month benchmark comparing the industry's most widely used commercially available geometric modeling products.

"As part of Missler' Software's on-going commitment to ensure its customers are using the most advanced, state-of-the-art CAD/CAM tools that are compatible with the rest of the industry, we periodically reexamine all of the various component software technologies used in our products," said Christian Arber, General Manager of Missler Software. "After a comprehensive evaluation of several geometric modeling options -- including the development of our own in-house software -- the French company's evaluation committee overwhelmingly recommended UGS' Parasolid as the world's best solution based on functionality, openness, quality, performance, support and industry acceptance."

Missler Software, France's second largest provider of CAD/CAM solutions, develops and distributes the TopSolid and GOelan product lines, primarily targeted at the mechanical manufacturing industry. As part of a periodic process, the company recently conducted a complete re-assessment of all its technology sourcing decisions in order to ensure they are employing the most advanced technology available to maintain the robust functionality and high quality their customers have come to expect. During this re-assessment Parasolid emerged as the clear industry leader over its primary competitors. As a result, Missler Software will continue to use the UGS-developed software as the 3D geometry foundation for its TopSolid and GOelan applications, as it has for the past several years.
