PTC earned the top scores in the Innovation category, outperforming eight other CAD vendors evaluated in the 2023 report. Each vendor’s CAD solution was assessed for product design (Computer-Aided Design (CAD)) with an emphasis on Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) deployment options for Large scale manufacturers, and overall customer impact. PTC leads in Innovation with the following differentiators:
- PTC has built out the most comprehensive offering suite of computer-aided additions, with strongpoints coming from native inclusion of Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) features such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), mechanism dynamics analysis, tolerance analysis, and parameter-driven optimization. Additionally, PTC offers robust Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) provided through three avenues: subtractive, additive, and tool design.
- Creo and Creo+ offer an intuitive model-based approach that takes users from the initial stages of product design to downstream in manufacturing. Creo and Creo+ associatively integrate all of the technical capabilities in the design process so that an engineer can model, dimension, simulate, render, and production plan complex assemblies within the digital thread.
- This robust CAD toolset, along with simulation integrated through Ansys, Creo, and Creo+, are the overall strongest offerings for industrial-scale manufacturers.
- While Creo and Creo+ are most prominent in the heavy industrial equipment industry, there are customers in all major verticals.
