Markt Outsourcing Multi-CAD Environment Production Flexible Engineering Capacity Concept Department Main Contractor Sub Contractor
Inefficiencies of a MultiCAD environment Difficult process to work with and make changes Lost engineering productivity performing non-value added data conversion Production Flexible Engineering Capacity Limited reuse and repurposing of data Inability to develop consistent user skills and expertise across multiple CAD platforms Concept Department Lost engineering time and effort moving data and switching between different CAD tools Engineers struggle to collaborate and share multi-CAD data with internal and external design partners Main Contractor Tedious process to integrate, manage and update data Sub Contractor Inability to directly open and work with data Reliance on multiple CAD tools to facilitate and enable multi-CAD design collaboration Engineering time is wasted recreating and rebuilding data to implement change
Inefficient Collaboration Summary Time-to-market Conversion Repair / Re-model Receive Data (different formats) Change communication Re-apply changes when source model updates Sequential process Share data compatible with other platforms Lacking user skills multiple CAD platforms Cost Incorrect model version Data management IT cost CAD training Open directly without conversion and efficiently work with these files Update source models with preservation of changes / intelligence Save data to various formats Work (and be skilled) with a single CAD platform Single or associative file Reduce number of files Single CAD platform
How Unite Technology Can Help You CONSOLIDATION Layout the two business use case for Unite Technology: Consolidate – enabling organizations to standardize on PTC Creo in a cost effective manner Collaborate – enabling organization to work more effectively with internal and external partners using various CAD systems (requires the collaboration extensions) COLLABORATION
Consolidation with PTC Creo 3.0 Unite Technology No additional license needed No third party software needed File Formats Versions
Consolidation with PTC Creo 3.0 Unite Technology Original vs Converted Icons Both no intelligence Open Import Open Import Original file (linked via .creo) Converted to creo files
Consolidate: Edit Opened Files Edit works on both Import and Opened files Edit geometry: Creo Parametric Flexible modeling Convert (best practice): Automatically converts only the necessary non-PTC Creo components into PTC Creo components Complete geometry is stored in a new .prt/.asm files Do not Convert: Stores changes in .creo file as an addition on top of the original file
Cumulative Conversion Cost Consolidate Use Case 1 Company Switches to PTC Creo New CAD tool Purchased another company Legacy data 100% Up-Front Conversion On-Demand Conversion Cumulative Conversion Cost With PTC Creo 3.0 $ Time
Consolidate Use Case 2 Production company Receives all kinds of file formats and prepare for production Do not receive changes
Consolidate Use Case 3 Company Manufactures most of the product Purchases some standard components (finished status) Do not often receive changes
Consolidate to PTC Creo 3.0 Easily Benefits Convert Data as needed, when needed Easily re-use legacy data with minimal PDM effort Reduce # of CAD platforms and the associated costs of Software Licenses, Support and Training Increase Engineering Productivity and IT Efficiency Explain the benefits of CAD consolidation for the customer’s specific situation and connect these with overall business value For example: By consolidating to PTC Creo, all designers will work on and be proficient with a single software, enabling the organization to be more flexible (move people more easily between projects) to ensure on-time project delivery

Collaboration with PTC Creo 3.0 Unite Technology Additional license needed No third party software needed File Formats Functionalities: Update Save As
Collaboration Update Third Party Native Data Automatically update new versions of non-PTC Creo data within your designs
Collaboration with PTC Creo Unite Technology Notification Center monitors design changes and helps to identify the impact. Build design intent across 3D CAD formats easily Update non-PTC Creo data within your designs Redefine feature(s) and Reroute references quickly Non-persistent IDs in non-PTC Creo CAD tools might lead to feature failures from missing references PTC Creo will display the last successful location of the missing reference to easily reroute it Keep Multi-CAD manufacturing and documentation information automatically updated
Collaborate Use Case 1 Company parallel development Purchase of custom components (under development) Do receive regular changes
Collaborate Use Case 2 Supplier: Customer demands their native file type (no intelligence required)
Collaborate Use Case 3 Engineering Company Work for different companies while having expertise in 1 CAD tool
Collaborate Effectively in a Multi-CAD Environment Benefits Collaborate early and often with partners and suppliers Easily incorporate non-PTC Creo data early in the design process Work in parallel Support the Delivery of Products on Schedule Reduce the impact of late stage design changes Reduce the need to create and manage neutral formats Exchange information in the most common 3D CAD formats Promote Data Re-use and Sharing Explain the benefits of effective collaboration for the customer’s specific situation and connect these with overall business value For example: The ability to incorporate partner information early in the design process enables organizations to achieve higher levels of concurrent engineering, reducing the impact of late stage changes, improving quality and driving on-time delivery.
Collaboration with PTC Creo Unite Technology PTC Creo Unite Technology enables Superior Collaboration Build Better Designs Start collaborating between Multi-CAD design teams early Design in Context of Multi-CAD assemblies with confidence Build design intent across 3D CAD formats easily Keep all models updated Complete Enterprise Process Coverage Build associative drawings Build associative structural, thermal, dynamic analyses Build Multi-CAD modular product architecture Full support of downstream manufacturing and documentation processes
