Siemens NX

We were the very first company in Belgium that invested, for example, in Proengineer, the current Creo software.

So the current NX from Siemens in those days was still called Unigraphics.

uni graphics was a 2d design package and at the moment that materialize was started they were the first surface modeling capabilities in uh in an egg or in uni graphics in those days no solid modeling was existing in that in that package so In that context, yeah, we spent most of the time in creating content that we could print.

And not just creating content that we could print, but also making the prints or the data printable.

...

NX, um, some, some other ones.

Uh, they were put together and packaged, and Siemens paid the astounding amount of three and a half billion dollars, which was, uh, a record at the time.

Yeah.

Well, guess what? We met Siemens right away.

It was Uni- Unigraphics at the time.

Now, that's serendipity.

And, and that, that was serendipity.
