CDC deliver real business value to our customers in key areas such as new product introduction and innovation, design for manufacture, virtual product simulation and product processes.
CDC’s fundamental business principle is that our customer’s success is vital to our success!!!
Our People
From the outset, CDC staffed up with skilled, trained and experienced people. People who, first and foremost, understand engineering and manufacturing. This was, and still is, to ensure that, whatever products might be involved, we would be able to provide the after-sales service and support that is ultimately the differentiating factor in CAD/CAM.
Our Partnerships
CDC forged strategic alliances with the suppliers of the very best products available. For example, CDC is the longest standing CAD Business Partner of IBM in South Africa: and IBM is acknowledged as the world’s leading computer company, as well as the foremost CAD vendor.
Our Products
Careful analysis was done to identify the best-of-breed products that would address the needs of South African industry. Close attention was paid to selecting CAD/CAM products not only for their functionality and capabilities, but also for confidence in the long-term survival of the supplier – the streets are littered with the corpses of CAD companies who have gone out of business, leaving their users with no support and no future.
These criteria have resulted in CDC’s achieving a level of customer acceptance and satisfaction which is amongst the very highest in the country, and we are proud of, and determined to maintain and improve upon, those standards.

CDC‘s success – and the satisfaction of the customers we serve – are the result of three principles:
Product Lifecycle Management (PLM)
PLM provides a global environment for authoring and managing digital product knowledge. For customers, this means being able to design and render products virtually and simulate the factory processes that produce them. They no longer need to build and test costly physical prototypes, thus saving resources. And virtual production improves safety and ergonomics. Using the power of 3D visualization and the flexibility of digital content, all processes – from design through marketing to maintenance and recycling – can share, reuse, and enhance product information in the pursuit of an optimum strategy.
