PTC today announced numerous companies have selected and continued to expand their use of the Creo® suite of computer-aided design (CAD) software instead of competitive solutions. To improve their product design and innovation processes, organizations large and small rely on PTC’s CAD software for its ease of use, simplicity, and reliability. Creo helps these and other companies more easily close the gap between the physical and digital worlds by capitalizing on new capabilities and technologies like augmented reality (AR), Internet of Things (IoT), topology optimization, computational fluid dynamics, and more. CAD data is the foundation for the digital twin, a digital record of each product’s designed, manufactured, service, and real-world state. Comprised of the digital definition of the product and the physical experience of the asset in the field, this new technology enables manufacturers to envision new products that better meet customer needs, as well as develop business models to better market and

The 3D CAD platform of choice among metal fabricators and custom machinery equipment manufacturers, IronCAD’s 2018 Product Update #1 adds features specifically designed to increase detailer productivity by streamlining the steps needed to move 3D designs into the 2D production drawings. Key features of Product Update #1 including enhanced game-changing bulk drawing feature and a dramatically improved shrink wrap modeling simplification utility for more secure, more inclusive file sharing to support active collaboration. With the new process improvements for the bulk drawing creation, parts and assemblies can now be selected and can store predefined templates that automatically populate the bulk creation process. This stored information can be used in conjunction with IronCAD’s powerful Catalogs of pre-made designs, speeding up the reuse of existing designs and saving countless hours that might otherwise be spent preparing designs for detailing. “IronCAD has continued its commitment to fabricators and machinery manufacturers by extending the
