Why CATIA?
CATIA (by Dassault Systèmes) is a high-end 3D CAD software used extensively in the automotive and aerospace industries for parametric part design, complex surfacing, large assembly management, and sheet metal design. Aerospace OEMs and automotive manufacturers often specifically require CATIA skills.

Frequently Asked Questions
No, while CATIA originated in aerospace, it's also a leading tool in automotive design and is used in some industrial machinery and consumer product design as well.
CATIA is generally preferred for large-scale, complex assemblies and advanced surfacing (common in cars and aircraft), while SolidWorks is popular for general mechanical and product design; many large OEMs specifically require CATIA experience.
No prior surfacing experience is needed; we teach Generative Shape Design (GSD) from the basics as part of the curriculum.
