Deneb Robotics was a company founded by Scott Walter, Jay Harrison, Nathan Yoffa, and Rakesh Mahajan in 1985.[1] The company pioneered graphics-based 3D factory simulation software for simulation and digital manufacturing tools. The application area reached from concept development to shop floor implementation, including off-line programming. Deneb Robotics is known for their IGRIP, Quest, Ultra and VirtualNC software packages.
The company was acquired by Dassault Systèmes in 1997[2] and is branded DELMIA. Major companies such as Boeing,[3] and General Motors[4] used Deneb’s suite of tools to optimize their design and manufacturing processes.[5]
