Early Adopter Anticipates Increased Efficiencies & Quality Improvements from PTC’s SharePoint®-Based Solution for Product Development
Maker of Formula Three, American Indy, GP2 and Le Mans race cars relies on PTC® Product Development System for innovative designs
PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC), the Product Development Company, in partnership with Hornby Hobbies (LSE: HRN) owners of the Scalextric brand and a long time PTC customer, announced the launch of an exciting new Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths based (STEM) curriculum. Secondary school students using the new curriculum will use PTC’s Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 4.0 CAD software to design and engineer their very own Scalextric slot car.
This story still causes high emotions: As engineers of aircraft builder Airbus were working with different software programs during the development of the mega plane A380, the cabling of the engines failed in manufacturing. This disaster as per today causes for mother holding EADS a 2-year-delay in delivery to the customer and 5 billion Euro in expenses. Today’s Airbus-Boss Tom Enders keeps repeating: “This must not happen to us again.” In order to ensure, that this does not happen again, a completely new software system shall overcome this challenge.
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.
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.
Our customers reveal that they have significantly improved their design process by utilising Mathcad as their key tool to capture and document their engineering calculations and analysis work.
