What Elysium does

Elysium Co. Ltd., founded in 1980 and headquartered in Hamamatsu, Japan, is an independent software vendor specializing in 3D geometry handling and data translation for Model-Based Definition and Model-Based Enterprise (MBD/MBE) workflows. The company's flagship platform, 3D-SUITE, addresses interoperability across more than 100 CAD formats and integrates with all major CAD vendors (Autodesk, Dassault Systèmes, PTC, Siemens, SolidWorks) through certified OEM/toolkit partnerships. The product architecture follows a platform-plus-modules model: the core 3D-SUITE provides translation, PDQ checking and healing, PMI verification, and validation, supported by modules including CADdoctor (data repair variants for NX, JT, and Autodesk Moldflow), CADfeature (CAD migration), InfiPoints (large-scale point cloud processing), ASFALIS (enterprise translation server), PMI Checker, DFX Analyzer, Data Package Studio, and the Geode SDK for custom integration. InfiPoints also integrates with Autodesk Revit and Sony Spatial Reality Display for BIM and visualization workflows.

Elysium serves more than 4,000 customers globally across automotive (Nissan, Toyota, AISIN, Adient), aerospace and defense (Aerojet Rocketdyne, CIMPA/UK aerospace), electronics (Canon), motorsport (Alpine F1 Team), mold and die manufacturing, AEC (Shinryo, Shutoko Engineering via InfraDoctor), and academic research (Tohoku University, Synchrotron SOLEIL). The company monetizes through a mix of perpetual and subscription software licenses, recurring annual maintenance contracts, and bespoke enterprise development services. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales with technical staff conducting on-site customer engagements, a global reseller network, and OEM embedding via CAD vendor partnerships. Elysium maintains regional subsidiaries in the USA (Southfield, MI), France (Paris), and Germany (Bad Soden), and is led by Chairman and CEO Toshimasa Kodera. The company shows no public listing, no disclosed funding rounds, and no parent company, operating as a privately held, self-funded enterprise.
