Welcome
!
Small- and
medium-sized businesses the focus of PTC software conference
NEEDHAM,
MA — PTC, makers of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire mechanical CAD software, invited
the world's press recently to show how its products can help small- and
medium-sized businesses (SMBs).
The product development (PD) process is ''fully digital'' now,
presenter Steve Eppinger, professor at the Sloan School of Management, MIT, told the
press conference. He indicated PD strategies are also global, where the
baseline is survival, but that growth can be accomplished through lean
methods such as using global engineering deployment.
Skilled workforces around the world and internet connnectivity allows
firms to ''rent or buy'' expertise as needed, Eppinger said.
''Distributed product development enables 24/7 engineering and faster
results. These strategies are equally relevant to large and small
firms.''
The
press conference gave PTC (ptc.com)
software customers a chance to show off their designs. Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire
mechanical CAD user Yoichiro Dan, a mechanical engineer at ZMP in
Japan (zmp.co.jp)
demonstrated the miuro robot audio system built with Kenwood audio
technology (click image above for Windows Media Video

Another customer demonstrated how PTC's Mathcad software and
Pro/ENGINEER help to design high frequency antennas. Greg O'Neill,
senior RF engineer at SkyCross, Inc., (skycross.com)
said that he can write antenna masks that simulate the characteristics
of wave patterns directly into Mathcad. ''It provides confidence in
designing RF circuits. Predictive performance is what we're
accomplishing.''
