Evan Yares: CAD Usability and Model Deconstruction

By Admin | Published: Sep 29, 2011

“…CoCreate started to introduce intelligent editing capabilities to their direct modeling CAD programs in the mid to late 1980s, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that the game really changed, with a number of CAD programs adding feature-inference on top of direct modeling… PTC, which sells both direct and history-based tools, has major customers […]

Design News: Putting a New Face on CAD Interoperability

By Admin | Published: Jul 18, 2011

“New visualization and collaboration tools that foster the exchange of lightweight models (meaning 3D geometry without all the design intelligence) have been instrumental in helping companies better exchange multi-CAD data without the hangover of traditional platforms. In addition, new technologies advancing the concept of direct modeling, along with reorienting design workflows so that only critical […]

AnyBOM Assembly – Connect to PLM to Create and Validate Serial Number-specific Product Configurations

By Tom Shoemaker | Published: Oct 27, 2010

Mass customization, platform design, and modular design are sometimes described as the new frontiers of manufacturing. But they can also lead to data management headaches. With tens of thousands of product configurations possible from the presence of just a few options, many product variations are never modelled, tested, or properly documented. Of course, it’s long […]

AnyData Adoption – Leverage and Use CAD Data From Anywhere

By Tom Shoemaker | Published: Oct 27, 2010

“Product development cannot exist in a vacuum. Customers have to be able to use information that might be coming from a supplier or from a customer, and those customers or suppliers might be creating data in another CAD system.” Asa Trainer, Director Project Management, PTC. It’s true. It’s impractical, if not impossible, to create an […]

AnyMode Modeling – Freely Mix & Match 2D, 3D Direct, or 3D Parametric Modes

By Geoff Hedges | Published: Oct 27, 2010

“We’re saying and doing things that are very unconventional for PTC and others in our industry. We’re challenging the fundamental premises of how product development software should work and we’re really providing a level of freedom, flexibility, and accommodations that I’m convinced CAD vendors haven’t provided in the past. That is pretty exciting.” Mike Campbell, […]
