Dessia, a French startup founded in 2017, has developed a generative AI and augmented engineering platform used in particular for the automated verification of 2D plans and 3D designs, a critical issue in the aeronautics industry where the completeness and conformity of schematics are essential.
In an interview with The Energy Republic at Paris Airshow 2025, Jean-Pierre Roux, Dessia CEO, said the company’s AI platform enables engineers to verify in minutes what previously took hours, reducing the risk of errors and freeing up time for innovation.
He said the software platform is powered by artificial intelligence (AI) to augment and automate engineering designs in the aerospace sector.
According to him, Dessia’s AI-powered solutions are used for 2D/3D airplane design and are revolutionizing aircraft design with faster prototyping, precision testing, and improved innovation.
He noted that the manual processes involved in authenticating 2D/3D design in the aerospace sector are complex but Dessia’s technology would fast-track the process in an efficient method through the use of software applications powered by AI.
“In aerospace engineering design, there are different forms of processes involved in data collected on 3D card design, 2D blueprints, and system engineering, among others,” Jean said. “You need a specific technology to apply data sciences to this engineering design.”
“Our technology helps to automate the verification of engineering designs both in 2D and 3D designs in the aerospace sector,” he explained.
“Today, all the verification methods used by engineering designers take a huge amount of time to manually check things.
“Our technology automates the processes with AI solutions. It will show where there are errors in the engineering design.
“Our AI-powered technology also helps to identify areas that need correction in aerospace engineering designs. It is applicable for 2D and 3D blueprint designs,” Jean stated.
Speaking about the competitive advantage of Dessier’s technology, he said that the company’s software application makes engineering design more productive and can also generate new architectural designs.
He also said that Desseir’s technology can also improve algorithms on GPS for efficient operations.
“Our technology is available for aerospace engineering processes and airplane design. It reduces the time spent as well as provides more insights into the engineering and architecture designs in the aerospace sector.
“Technology makes it possible to check the authenticity of technical drawings in 2D and 3D engineering designs. It uses AI to collect data as well as identify where there are technical errors that need correction in the design.
“It can also be used in the energy sector, especially in power plants,” he mentioned.
In addition, Jean said Dessia technology is being used in the French aerospace market.
He disclosed that they are currently working on expanding to the international market starting from the European market, with new clients in North America.
“We are in discussion with clients in Germany, Nordics, UK to expand our technological solutions in Europe and beyond,” he added.
At Paris Airshow 2025, Dessia was part of the ‘GIFAS’ exhibitors, a French industry cluster bringing together startups across the aerospace value chain to showcase their innovative products and services.
