Beyond PLM: Electric Design and PLM Roadmap

By Admin | Published: Jun 30, 2011

“In the early beginning, solutions for manufacturing were focusing primarily on machinery and mechanical design. The historical reason here is simple – mechanical design was a key element of manufacturing for many years. However, the era of ‘mechanical design only’ ends. We can hear more and more about various aspects of combined solutions – Siemens […]

Brian Shepherd Describes Creo

By Robin Saitz | Published: Oct 10, 2010

In order to solve today’s remaining hurdles to better design productivity, there is a need for a suite of specialized design apps that address the unique needs of all those involved in collaborative design. Those would include 2D sketching tools, 3D direct modeling tools for conceptual modeling, and 3D parametric tools for detailed design. In […]
