HISTORY & PEOPLE
DASSAULT AVIATION
Marcel Bloch's first steps in industry
Marcel Bloch was 22 years' old when the First World War broke out in August 1914. Because of his training as an aeronautical engineer, which was uncommon at the time, he was not sent to the front but was assigned to the Chalais-Meudon aeronautical research Laboratory and thus made his debut within an industry evolving from craftsmanship to series production.
With Henry Potez, also a graduate of the Ecole supérieure d'aéronautique et de construction mécanique, he was responsible for co-ordinating and preparing the drawings for the Caudron G 3 aircraft the manufacture of which was distributed between four factories belonging to different aircraft manufacturers.
DASSAULT SYSTEMES
Since it was created in 1981, Dassault Systemes has helped its industrial customers maximize product design and development. First used to design complex shapes, 3D now makes it possible to design and manufacture products creating digital mockups. Today, Dassault Systemes anticipates the industrial processes of tomorrow, with solutions that provide a 3D view of a product's lifecycle, from creation to maintenance, including manufacturing and recycling
