    "Probably the best CAD platform out there!"

    Posted 2020-07-17

    Pros: - CATIA is inherently very powerful and helps everyone from large automotive companies to small product designers deliver their products.

    Cons: - The modular theme of CATIA can make it heavy on the purse for those who need a lot of features.

    Overall: CATIA has helped us deliver much more than we would previously with AutoCAD. Its cloud-based system also helps greatly in collaboration.
