Creoĭespite this far reach, however, PTC’s primary offering in CAD/CAE – its Creo family of software – is still its most matured and popular product.

Both of these separate technologies can then be brought together with the inherent IoT-like structure of the ThingWorx platform, meaning that an interactive AR training program can use the information gathered from the PLM system to properly gauge successful instruction: a true revolution in technology. Windchill, the web-based PLM solution, relies on the modularity of a 3D assembly to easily create and manage variations of a product to suit customer need. PTC’s premiere AR program, ThingWorx Studio, requires fast, accurate 3D representations of an environment in order to correctly augment it. PTC has now diversified itself to the point of being present in many of today’s most innovative areas of technology and research, as shown with its current portfolio here:ĭigital Product Development using AR, PLM, IoTĪlthough founded around CAD/CAE, PTC’s offering has since expanded to include an entire portfolio of digital product development applications. PTC now boasts a product catalog of tremendous breadth with Engineering Math, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Internet of Things (IoT), and even Augmented Reality (AR) solutions.

PTC’s roots are firmly cemented in the realm of Computer Aided Design/Engineering (CAD/CAE) via it’s Mechanical Design Software called Creo Parametric (originally Pro/Engineer). Creo Parametric: An Overview of PTC’s CAD/CAE Software
