Siemens PLM Automotive History

Introduced UNIAPT as the

world’s first end-user CAM.

Daimler, Toyota, Nissan as

few early customers

GM awarded MDC the

largest CAD/CAM/CAE

contract in the industry

iMAN and Metaphase

launched as PDM tools.

Automotive customer base

started to grow significantly

UGS and SDRC merger

UGS acquired Tecnomatix to

expand into DM.

Siemens acquired UGS

Focus on industry specific

templates.
