Manufacturers are Getting Back to Basics “What will get us out of this is product. ” -William Ford, Ford Motor Company Dow Jones Business News, 2002 “Our goal is always to get to market faster. ” - Steven Allen, Lear Corporation, Fast Company 2001 “…taking big risks to create exciting, popular products that bring in new revenues. ” - Time Magazine, 2002 “The way we're going to survive is to innovate our way out of this. ” -Steven Jobs, Apple Computer, Time Magazine, 2002 “Chung & Co. have rescued Hyundai's image and designed cars that people want. ” - Business Week, Dec 2001 © 2002 PTC 3

Why Product First. TM? Product First drives sustainable competitive advantage. . . More innovative products l More products to market faster l . . . and can dramatically improve profitability 70% of total product cost is locked during product development* l Major opportunity to impact the bottom line l It’s the Product that Makes the Company © 2002 PTC *Source: Aberdeen Group 4

The Essential PLM Elements Successful product development requires integration of three domains: Create! and innovate at the product development process level and with your supply chain Collaborate! by harnessing the wisdom, resourcefulness, creativity and power of your supply chain Control! your product data with a single system of record or “system of truth” that ensures “total product confidence” with the latest, most accurate information that can be shared across the value chain © 2002 PTC 5

Challenges in conceptual design We all need to… l Develop more concepts in less time l Improve design quality l Integrate and Collaborate more smoothly l Peers, suppliers, marketing, engineering… But… l “I already use multiple systems and media for conceptual design” l l “We have many international suppliers” l © 2002 PTC “Our designers work in different offices” “CAD tools are not suitable for idea generation” 7

Conceptual design today Traditionally… l Conceptual designs are created and evaluated in a wide range of unconnected media Paper l Block model (foam, clay, wood) l CAD model l … l © 2002 PTC 8

Conceptual design should be… Curve Layout • Ideas • Existing sketch • Photograph • Model Curves • Plot • Print Input: • Scan Data • Legacy curves Sketch Input: • Ideas • Digital photo’s • Scanned sketch Input: • Scan Data • Point Clouds Virtual Clay © 2002 PTC • Facet model for surfacing • 3 D Print / SLA • Photorendering 9

Pro/CONCEPT offers you… Single environment l The all-in-one digital solution for all required media and methods l l sketch, layout, model, visualize Seamless connection between all media Economical solution l All-inclusive price (tutorials, library, etc. ) l More economical than the combined cost of multiple point solutions, with more capabilities l Allows widespread deployment Integration and Collaboration l Provided via compatibility with MCAD and collaboration solutions l l © 2002 PTC Pro/ENGINEER© Windchill Project.

What is Pro/CONCEPT? The all-in-one digital solution for design driven innovation Enables designers to. . . l l l Quickly explore and develop concepts Easily combine their 2 D and 3 D worlds Share and respond with all members of the value chain l (peers, marketing, sales, suppliers, clients…) Capabilities include: l l l l © 2002 PTC Create sketches Retouch images/photographs Create layouts Create 3 D models Paint on 3 D models Visualize 3 D models in a rendered scene Transfer models to/from MCAD & collaboration 11

What differentiates Pro/CONCEPT? Integrated sketching and modeling Common ‘look and feel’ between 2 D and 3 D Online reviews via web pages Integration with engineering solutions Pro/ENGINEER © 2002 PTC 12

Benefits The main benefits of this concept tool are: l Digital brainstorming l Integrated sketching and modeling l Easy to learn, easy to use l l l © 2002 PTC Flexible and fast, quickly explore lots of shapes and forms Freeform shape creation in either precision or loose sculpting style Output image and geometric data to production modeling systems 13

Customer Quotes The functionality demonstrated to date shows immense promise in providing industrial designers with a tool that rapidly captures theme of the proposed product through 2 D sketches, 3 D models, renderings and rapid prototypes… …Pro/CONCEPT is a tool created specifically for industrial design, not an engineering tool adapted to I. D. use. Moen is very excited about the promise of this new solution. ” Mike Brattoli, Senior Product Designer, Moen Inc. I was very impressed with Pro/CONCEPT. It's simple to use, visual and has many powerful tools. " Allen Zadeh, Smart Design Sun Microsystems has been actively involved in the planning and design of Pro/CONCEPT. The integrated sketching and modeling found in Pro/CONCEPT give more flexibility to our designers. The ability to hold design reviews across our intranet will enhance our dispersed teams, making them more efficient and driving the product development process at an even quicker pace.
