This is a post by Emma Rudeck on the Concurrent Engineering Site. The latest release of Creo Parametric has brought impressive productivity enhancements for 3D CAD users. It’s over 20% faster than Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 and significant improvements have been made to… Continue Reading →

This is a post by Cat McClintock on PTC site. If you’re using PTC Creo, you already enjoy great benefits from the ground-breaking parametric design solution. But you should also know that many companies don’t stop there. They add on tools… Continue Reading →

This is a post by Beth Stackpole on PTC site. Most engineers are living in a 3D world. The CAD models they build as part of the design process are 3D as are the simulations that prove out those concepts… Continue Reading →

This is a post on PTC site. Samara State Aerospace University (SSAU) recently hosted its International Summer Space School, titled “Advanced space technology and experiments: From idea to nano-satellite mission.” According to the Russian newspaper, Volga Commune, “For two weeks, students… Continue Reading →

This is a post by Cat McClintock on PTC site. With 3D printing (or more correctly, additive manufacturing), product developers have new options for prototyping, tooling, sourcing, and even producing parts. But with all these new options come new requirements… Continue Reading →

This is a post by Geoff Hedges on PTC site. In a world where product designs include parts from different sources and designers, it’s not unusual to find pieces that collide or don’t leave enough space. That’s why most 3D… Continue Reading →

This is a post by Cat McClintock on PTC site. A traditional product lifecycle management (PLM) system provides a secure central repository for all of a company’s product designs and associated data. It also manages the flow of that data… Continue Reading →

This is a post by Cat McClintock on PTC site. Suppose you want to design a group of similar products that vary only slightly from each other. For example, think of a collection of socket wrenches ranging from 0.25 to… Continue Reading →

This is a post by Aaron Shaw on PTC site. Pick up an old pliers, a metal dumbbell, or a dart from your dartboard, and you’ll notice their handles have a similar texture. The process that creates the crisscross pattern… Continue Reading →

This is a post by Aaaron Shaw on PTC site. Within PTC Creo Flexible Modeling Extension (FMX), the system can now create patterns when you simply enter a few parameters into the new Flexible Pattern tool. To access the tool… Continue Reading →

This is a post by Beth stackpole on PTC site. Sometimes a drawing in PTC Windchill will reference a part that doesn’t exist. These “ghost objects” are relics from the original CAD file—typically a dummy that’s no longer relevant. But… Continue Reading →
