The digital thread has become a widely discussed concept in the manufacturing industry. According to a PTC report, 94% of industry leaders said they were in the planning stages of implementing a digital thread, and 67% of companies had gotten a start on their digital thread projects in the last two years. This […]

PTC’s latest release of Creo continues to build on an already strong foundation, with even more enhancements for better manipulation and analysis of CAD models. […]
Engineering firms looking to stay at the forefront of innovation must constantly update their processes and methodologies to stay competitive. While using CAD software has been the standard for many years, modern solutions and new techniques can increase productivity and ultimately lead to better product development. […]
Completing design for manufacturing and assembly can be incredibly complicated. As distributed engineering teams increasingly become the norm, it’s critical to use a CAD system built for productivity. Creo from PTC includes all the basics, […]
In today’s world, where teams are often located in multiple locations, almost everybody agrees that collaboration tools are a necessity. As a result, most enterprise solutions have found a way to securely enable collaboration with teams, customers, and suppliers by providing a shared storage and communication location in the cloud, or at least behind […]
Time to market is dependent on time to design, which makes the choice of CAD system critical for every manufacturing company. Most CAD systems will let the engineering team create a product—eventually. The real trick is finding the solution with the best combination of features and […]
Along with everyone else in the manufacturing industry, we’ve been talking a lot about model-based manufacturing, also known as MBM, and the benefits the methodology brings to companies that adopt it. Essentially, model-based manufacturing takes model-based definition, also known as model-based engineering, one step further. […]
Many companies today are evaluating the value of adding simulation engineering technologies to their toolbox. Simulations help prevent costly over-engineering, giving designers tools to complete rapid testing and ensure that less robust or cheaper design selections meet performance requirements and stand up to real-world usage patterns. Plus, of course, early testing and simulation help get […]
Manufacturing today is so complex that companies need a variety of enterprise applications to operate effectively. ERP, CRM, SCM, PLM, CAD, MES, AI—the list of requirements can seem endless. And to make matters worse, maintaining the integrations among all these applications can be complex and expensive. With multiple data models, disparate technologies, and […]
Bringing new products to market fast is imperative for manufacturers. Yet, for many companies, the design process has been hampered by using multiple tools to design products, store product information, and manufacture goods. This older method is cumbersome and error-prone. […]
