Launched in 2003, with more than 1000 licences in use around the world, the Type3 software enables the creation of text and the integration of symbols or logos with just a few clicks in CATIA V5, to identify, mark, decorate or personalise parts during the design stages. In the new version, Type3 CAAV5 Based V.5.10, a number of innovations have been introduced to optimise the process further and make it easier to use. These include the entry of text from a single point, deformation-free projections and dongle-free operation.
