?Introducing CAD-based digital twin strategy building methods
Unveiling Creo 4.0, a CAD solution combining IoT and AR

PTC Korea will hold the '2017 Korea CAD Summit' on the 19th at Blue Square in Hannam-dong.

At this event, PTC will present direction for smart connected product design in the era of Industry 4.0 and introduce methods for building a CAD-based digital twin strategy. PTC Korea will also conduct an augmented reality (AR) publishing awards event called 'Crazy CAD Social Awards' targeting all CAD users, including digital engineering experts as well as the general public and students.

PTC's Creo 4.0 is the first CAD solution combining Internet of Things (IoT) and augmented reality (AR), optimized for smart connected product design. It supports performing all tasks from design, optimization, verification, to printing within a single software, and provides functions including additive manufacturing with WYSIWYG printing capability, model-based definition (MBD), realistic design, and augmented reality (AR) that revolutionizes the design review process.

Accordingly, PTC Korea is hosting the '2017 Korea CAD Summit' and 'Crazy CAD Social Awards' to expand its leadership in the domestic CAD market and present a new paradigm in digital engineering.

The event will cover the role and direction of IoT technology convergence in smart connected product design processes, and present how PTC's expertise accumulated in the IoT domain is applied to CAD products and what advantages it provides.

In relation to this, PTC will present a new paradigm in CAD design, development, and services through sessions including ▲Smart connected product design and use cases ▲Augmented reality as a smart connected product design strategy ▲IoT-based CAD technology guide ▲Completion of digital twin technology: next-generation product design through machine learning simulation technology ▲Impact of 3D printing on Internet of Things product design.

Additionally, engineering simulation software specialist Ansys and 3D printing company Stratasys will participate in this event to expand technology collaboration in leading the next-generation digital engineering market.

PTC Korea is also hosting the first domestic CAD social awards event in Korea that converts CAD designs into augmented reality content. Those wishing to participate can download a free trial of PTC's CAD solution 'Creo 4.0', create their CAD files as AR content using Creo, and submit them.

CAD files created outside PTC solutions can be converted through Unity technology included in Creo, and AR publishing methods can be easily implemented through a 5-minute tutorial video. The award-winning works of this competition will be introduced and awarded at the '2017 Korea CAD Summit' to be held at Blue Square in Hannam-dong on the 19th.

Park Hye-gyeong, Branch Director of PTC Korea, said "Market expectations for smart connected products are growing, but to manufacture them, we must move away from existing product design methods and utilize IoT technology from the design and development stages. Creo is a next-generation CAD solution that enables engineers to directly collect data from IoT-based products in the field and verify the assumptions that form the basis of requirements for new products, allowing for direct impact on product competitiveness more than ever. We hope that this awards ceremony and summit will be an opportunity for next-generation CAD developers to experience innovative technologies."
