Digital food storage is the name of the game in this tutorial. In a recent assignment, I sought to coach my CAD students at Virginia Tech through an Onshape modeling exercise in the kitchenware category. Our aim was to build a parametric model that was robust and could be morphed into different configurations by changing…
Well folks, this week we’ve been in Anaheim, California for this year’s 2013 PTC Live Global event. We had a chance to sit down with Brian Thompson, VP Product Management, CAD Segment and talked with him about the Creo roadmap, 3.0 features, and why apps are getting into the 3D printing scene.
There’s a crowd gathered in Anaheim, California. A crowd of engineers, designers, data administrators and others involved in the product development process who are interested in what’s to come in 3D software and how others are using it. Some are wearing ties, others are wearing flip-flops and some are wearing both. We’re out at the…
So, you’re toolin’ around the neighborhood in your hatchback, boppin’ your head to the best of Van Halen when suddenly an idea pops in your head. You need to sketch.

Today, Planet PTC begins, and with it, the onslaught of app slapping updates to all the PTC programs you’ve developed product in over the years. They’ve talked about it a lot since the Creo announcement last October. They’ll talk about a lot more, but…
If I had one choice in a car, one which was more a necessity to have than a wanton desire, it would be an Aston Martin. A V12 Vantage to be exact. After the incisions healed… from the cuts to remove my organs which funded such an investment, I’d drive it all up and down…
I’m not sure how many of you would be crazy enough to use a 3D CAD program on a Mac. I mean who uses Apple stuff anymore? amirite? Well, a lot of the companies developing 3D programs are developing for the popular platform. PTC not excluded. Here, Mike C. with his bad self running things,…
So, PTC has launched Creo elements with full-blown Creo 1.0 to come out Summer 2011. It’s replacing Pro/E and the smorgasboard of other programs you’ve mastered over the years, so obviously there are bound to be a few questions. Now, I typically don’t put spoons anywhere near my ears… or open fans. That’s just dangerous.…
