in California and we are currently looking at a project to open an office in China. Now we have a staff of 25, twenty of whom work in R&D and technical support. I set up Datakit because I was convinced that the development of the use of CAx (CAD, CAM, CAE) solutions was going to generate a large volume of CAD data exchange. We have a staff of 25, twenty of whom work in R&D and technical supportĭatakit is a privately-owned company that I founded in 1994 and that is specialized in CAD data exchange. Here is the interview.įrancis, can you tell us a bit about yourself and your company? I asked him to share his experience and opinions on this topic. While the CAD market consolidation certainly made things easier, most of the credit goes to companies like Datakit and to people like Francis Cadin. Nowadays the CAD data translation seems to be less problematic than in the past. For example, if you are opening a SolidWorks file with your Rhino 4.0, you may not know that all the data conversion between the two file formats is handled by a piece of software developed in Lyon, France by Datakit.
Datakit products come in two different flavors: some translators perform their sensitive tasks embedded under the hood of a software program while others come as plug-ins or standalone applications. Francis Cadin is the CEO and founder of Datakit, the French company specialized in CAD data translation.
