Tuesday, 24th November, Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon

“Design without Barriers” – this is what you can expect at PTC's annual user event on Tuesday, 24th in Gaydon, Warwickshire. The free forum is specifically designed for Technical & Engineering Managers, Design Engineers, CAD Users & Administrators and organisations who want to explore technologies that will move their design and process knowledge to the next level.

Rapidly advancing technologies, growing consumer demands and a challenging economy calls for product development companies, of all sizes, to develop increasingly complex products in shorter time to market and within budget constraints. PTC’s objective at this Technology Forum is to offer attendees solutions to these challenges by demonstrating the latest technologies that help companies optimise virtual product development processes. Attendees can engage in dedicated hands-on workshops on Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 and attend various PTC product demonstrations.

Starting with an introduction to PTC´s Technology and Vision roadmap, followed by over 12 presentations, 3 business tracks, and a networking lunch to discuss with peers how PTC solutions have helped them optimise processes and bring real business benefit, participants have a packed day’s agenda.

The Highlights of the day:

• Hands-on introduction to the brand new release Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0
• Product demonstrations:
  • Windchill ProductPoint, the PDM solution for small to medium sized organisations
  • Windchill PDMLink for larger organisations
  • Mathcad – the leading engineering calculation solution
  • CIMdata Virtual Prototyping business case
  • Customer case studies – including VAX, the UK’s number one floor-care brand and customer of PTC's largest reseller INNEO Solutions. Learn how boundaries are stretched using PTC´s software and INNEO's expertise to deliver innovative and above all, market-leading products.
