CATIA V5 for Du Toit Yacht Design
CATIA V5 was chosen by Du Toit Yacht Design to produce 3D design work, isometric sketches, 2D patterns, detailed images and CNC programming for their custom designed yachts. Anton du Toit established Du Toit Yacht Design in 2001 and by 2007 he received the Disa South African Design Excellence Award. After experiencing all other current 3D design development systems he realised that “CATIA is the most advanced single system” and has used it as a benchmark when assessing others. In addition, the level of support that he has received from Dassault Systèmes and its South African VAR, CDC, has been very valuable. CATIA allows the company to retain knowledge and understanding of vessel behaviour, aesthetics and seaworthiness which ultimately helps them to develop better, more efficient boats.
