Creo 4.0 Launch: Five Free Online Presentations You Don't Want to Miss

On Tuesday, November 15, PTC is hosted its European Forum both in Stuttgart, Germany and online. This event marks the official launch of Creo 4.0, with in person and online breakout sessions taking place throughout the day.

At PTC Forum Europe, you’ll find dozens of sessions packed into a single 12-hour day, covering everything from the Internet of Things to PLM. But if you’re a Creo user, or plan to be in the near future, it’s the Creo 4.0 discussions you won’t want to miss. These live presentations are hosted by PTC product managers, and include opportunities for chatting with peers and submitting your questions to presenters—even if you’re an online attendee.

Introducing Creo 4.0

In this 45-minute overview, Paul Sagar, Creo VP of Product Management, talks about the “groundbreaking capabilities available in Creo 4.0.” You’ll learn about new tools for model-based definition; additive manufacturing; and smart, connected design; as well as productivity improvements. If your time is limited and you want to learn as much as you can about the new release in the shortest amount of time, dial in for this big-picture introduction to Creo 4.0.

What’s New in Creo Parametric

When you hear about “productivity improvements” in software, it’s tempting to think we’ve moved a tab here or added a menu pick there. But product managers at PTC are saying the changes to the UI with Creo 4.0 are some of the most exciting features in the release. Tune in to this session with Martin Neumüller, Director of Product Management, and find out how Creo 4.0 will improve your design productivity.

Implementing and Complying with Model-Based Definition

Whether you need to cut product costs, get better feedback from downstream contributors, or streamline the design review process, model-based definition (MBD) can help. New functionality in Creo 4.0 adds enhancements to 3D annotations, expanded capabilities with combination states, and improvements in creating derivative 3D formats and 2D artifacts. Product Manager Raphael Nascimento presents this session.

Design for Additive Manufacturing

Creo 4.0 is streamlining the process of 3D printing your designs. This release will provide a single environment for anyone who wants to design, optimize, prepare, and validate designs for 3D printing. Plus, you should see what it can do with lattices! Join PTC Product Manager Jose Coronado and learn how the software automates the creation and optimization of product designs that only additive manufacturing can create.

Smart, Connected Product Design

Whether you design cell phones, cars, or industrial pumps, understanding how your products are used in the real world is invaluable. In this session, Product Manager Arnaud van de Veerdonk shows you exciting new enhancements in Creo 4.0 to help you design, build and optimize smart, connected products. Take advantage of the IoT to improve product quality and ensure that future products better meet the needs of your customers.

PTC Introduces Vuforia Studio Enterprise to Democratize Augmented Reality Development

Codeless Authoring and Publishing Solution Revolutionizes AR in the Enterprise

NEEDHAM, Mass. – LiveWorx 2016 – June 7, 2016 –– PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) today announced at LiveWorx 2016 the availability of Vuforia™ Studio Enterprise – a powerful new tool for authoring and publishing augmented reality (AR) experiences for the enterprise. Originally announced as Project ThingX, Vuforia Studio Enterprise is seamlessly integrated with PTC’s Creo® 3D CAD visualization and illustration software and ThingWorx® Internet of Things (IoT) platform to quickly and easily add an augmented reality component to connected ‘things’– from manufacturing and factory equipment to solar panels and medical devices. Vuforia Studio is now available as part of the Vuforia Studio Pilot Program.

“Vuforia Studio Enterprise ushers in the era of augmented reality for the enterprise by delivering a set of components that allows practically anyone to create an augmented experience, with no coding knowledge required,” said Jim Heppelmann, president and CEO, PTC. “By integrating 3D CAD data from tools like Creo and IoT data from ThingWorx, Vuforia Studio allows organizations to easily develop augmented reality experiences that enable enterprises to better create, operate, and service their connected products.”

Augmented reality is one of the fastest growing technology segments in the enterprise. However, its adoption is hindered by a lack of tools for content authors that can leverage existing 3D assets. Vuforia Studio addresses this challenge and enables development of new experiences for creating, operating, and servicing connected products. Vuforia Studio provides all of the components that are needed to make it simple for any solution builder to develop an augmented reality experience, without requiring deep programming knowledge or expertise in augmented reality technology.

Vuforia Studio democratizes augmented reality in the enterprise by allowing companies to use existing 3D assets from PTC’s industry-leading Creo 3D CAD software, as well as other popular 3D modeling tools. Vuforia Studio allows that data to be combined with easy-to-create animations and sequences, as well as a product’s IoT sensor data – such as temperature and operating speed – through ThingWorx. This information is integrated through a suite of technology components that simplifies the development of augmented reality experiences, which include:

• Vuforia Studio Enterprise – Vuforia Studio Enterprise provides an easy-to-use interface for codeless authoring and publishing of AR experiences. Experiences can incorporate 3D CAD data and ThingWorx-powered IoT data, and are associated with a ThingMark™, a code that uniquely identifies an object or a product.
• Vuforia Experience Service – Once experiences are created with Vuforia Studio, they can be published to the cloud-based Vuforia Experience Service with just a few clicks. Any number of experiences can be created, providing a scalable solution for enterprise-wide AR deployments.
• Vuforia View Enterprise – Vuforia View Enterprise is a single app that scans ThingMarks and prompts the user to select an associated experience. Once selected, the experience is downloaded and launched.

“PTC is poised to capitalize on the immense potential of augmented reality in the enterprise with Vuforia Studio Enterprise,” said Vernon Turner, VP and fellow, IoT, IDC. “The applications for augmented reality in the enterprise are practically limitless, and a powerful tool like Vuforia Studio that combines augmented reality, Internet of Things services, and 3D modeling will register as a standout option as organizations build out their augmented reality strategies.”

Availability

PTC announced at LiveWorx the Vuforia Studio Pilot Program, available to customers interested in adopting Vuforia Studio. General availability for Vuforia Studio will be announced later this year. To join the Vuforia Studio Pilot Program, please contact a PTC sales representative by clicking here.
