Roundup on Creo announcement from Desktop Engineering:
Today, with production values rivaling a Hollywood studio set, PTC revealed its strategy to “define the mechanical CAD market for the next 20 years” by unveiling the Creo product suite, formerly known as “Project Lightning.” The announcement began by rounding up “prisoners” (people dressed in orange jumpsuits) who were locked away as heavy music blared, and then released as a metaphor for unlocking the potential of CAD. The presentation took a more traditional turn as new PTC CEO Jim Heppelmann took the stage (after releasing the prisoners) to explain why the company thinks CAD needs to improve.
Creo is being designed as a scalable suite of interoperable, open, and easy-to-use product design apps, according to PTC.
