Denis is an automotive engineer with a strong focus on car body structures and EcoDesign for mobility applications. His journey with CATIA began back in his university days, during his time in Formula Student, where he first got hands-on with CAD modeling using CATIA V5. That early spark turned into a career-long passion for design and engineering.
More recently, Denis explored the potential of 3DEXPERIENCE while working with Strong By Form, a cutting-edge startup supported by Dassault Systèmes, where he focused on wood-based composites. This project grew his interest in sustainable materials and smart engineering workflows, proving just how powerful CATIA can be in shaping the future of eco-conscious mobility. 🌱
In this interview, Denis explains how to combine materials and structure to achieve economic, functional and sustainability goals. From wooden bicycle frames to composite automotive structures, he uses CATIA Eco-Design Engineer to demonstrate that lightweight and renewable materials can meet demanding performance objectives.
His presentations and articles make eco-design tangible and illustrate how "Sustainable by Design" working methods help engineers find the right balance between performance, weight, and environmental impact.
Here is an 8-minute version of Denis' interview by Fabio.
