“Comparing Pro/ENGINEER to other 3D CAD Tools? The difference is like night and day.”
George Donagher of Bord Na Móna PLC – the leading Irish producer of peat processing equipment, has more than 10 years of engineering experience. Having worked with other 3D CAD tools such as Autodesk® Mechanical Desktop earlier in his career, he turned to Pro/ENGINEER and has continued using it ever since.
“The difference between Pro/ENGINEER and other 3D CAD products is like night and day,” says Donagher. “The software was really easy to learn – I got familiar with the basic functionality in less than a week. At the same time, every workday continues to be a learning day – and that is exactly where the strength of the product lies. I am surprised again and again with its power and with the amount of detail that is possible when designing with Pro/ENGINEER.”
Innovative Design Supports Development of Energy Saving, Zero Emission Electric Powered Buses
PTC announced that Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) has achieved great success using PTC Pro/ENGINEER for the design and research of 50 electric-powered buses, which were used for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. BIT’s Electric Vehicle National Engineering Laboratory used Pro/ENGINEER for the vehicle design, including the design of overall power train and battery box. Pro/ENGINEER is PTC’s integrated parametric MCAD/CAM/CAE software that helps companies to develop detailed, intuitive and realistic digital product models and related deliverables.
Global Railway Engineering from South Africa have made the move from 2D to 3D with Pro/ENGINEER and, by leveraging many of the product‘s simulation and analysis capabilities, they succeeded in establishing a virtual prototyping workflow that helped them to save time and money.
“Even complex designs – such as intricate turbo gears – become child’s play with the tools from Pro/ENGINEER.”
Dr. Ing. Heinrich J. Prümper has worked with Pro/ENGINEER for more than 10 years.
Throughout his lengthy professional career, he has used various CAD systems, but for the challenges he has to face on a daily basis in his engineering office, Pro/ENGINEER has proven to be the most powerful and most efficient solution.
“Essentially, I am involved with the overall design and detailed design of turbo compressor systems and with their complex components, such as three-dimensional rotors, guide vanes and spiral housings.”
“…from early concepts through calculating, production tooling, drawings – even for advertising material. The software is extremely robust, so we never have to worry about crashes.”
With more than 20 years of professional experience, in which he has tried many CAD software packages, such as AutoCAD®, Inventor®, Vellum® and Alibre Design®, Håkan Kjellgren has developed the expertise to become a trusted advisor to his clients at Teknikide AB, a design agency based in Stockholm. When founding Teknikide in 2003, Mr. Kjellgren selected Pro/ENGINEER as the design package of choice for his company, since, in contrast to many competitive products, Pro/ENGINEER is capable of handling even the most complex and advanced designs, while covering all needed areas of functionality.
