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.
Market Readiness and Value Delivered to Customers Drive Industry Leadership
PTC confirmed that it has been ranked top performer within the PLM industry in the recent "Product Lifecycle Management (PLM ) Solutions AXIS for Hardgoods Manufacturers, Q2, 2009 " report by leading technology research and consulting firm, the Aberdeen Group.
The Aberdeen AXIS is an objective, fact-based vendor assessment methodology based on vendor performance in KPI benchmarks from Aberdeen’s domain-specific research, and the Market Readiness of the organisation determined by over 250 evaluation criteria.
Distinction Recognises Contribution Of Leading PLM Technology Provider To World Renowned Motorbikes, Celebrates 10-Year Partnership Between The Two Companies
PTC announced today that Ducati Motor Company has named PTC as "Official Supplier" 2009. The prestigious title, reserved for a selected group of top quality service and product suppliers, recognises PTC’s contribution to the development of Ducati motorbikes.
PTC provides Ducati the engineering software for the engines installed on all motorbikes, and for data management needs of the company. The first deployment of PTC solutions in Ducati dates back to 2000. Currently, Pro/ENGINEER® and Pro/INTRALINK® are deployed throughout the company.
“PTC announced Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0, the next major release of its integrated 3D CAD/CAM/CAE software and a key component of the PTC Product Development System (PDS). Pro/ENGINEER, the world’s first parametric CAD solution, delivers new capabilities to help customers eliminate traditional design barriers to achieve faster, more efficient and more innovative product development. …” (excerpt from the article)
