PTC today announced the availability of its PTC Materials Compliance Solution for conflict minerals as a managed service. The PTC Materials Compliance Solution for conflict minerals enables manufacturers to comply with regulations from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) governing the identification and reporting of conflict minerals within their products and across their supply chains.
