If you’ve been waiting to see what PTC’s next move is, your wait is over. If you’ve been waiting to see what direction product development tech is taking, stop.
Nearly every CAD vendor has shared their vision of what the future of product design is going to be like. Thursday was PTC’s turn. Thursday, October 28th, they launched Creo. Here’s what it’s all about.
Update: Just an update… I’ve got the overview with my thoughts up on what project lightning turned into… PTC Launches Creo
Whatcha think now?
There’s a peculiar odor of CADmospheric ions in the air and all the blustery bits of activity are swelling up over the US East Coast. Tomorrow, October 28th, PTC will reveal their plans to “define the course of CAD for the next 20 years.” They’re calling it “Project Lightning” and since revealing their plans for the future of design at the PTC/User conference last June, some people are kinda wondering what it’s all about.
We’ll be at PTC headquarter for the reveal, dishing out any of the good stuff, but will it live up to the future-defining hype? If you know what Project Lightning is, what do you think? If you’re not familiar with the idea behind Project Lightning, hit the jump to learn a little more.

Crack out the Faraday suits and rev up those Tesla Coils, PTC is stirring the air with talks about their endeavor to define and possibly redefine (thunderous clap and loud echoing voice) THE FUTURE of MECHANICAL CAD!! CAD CAD!!
We’re out at PTC/USER 2010 in Orlando, Florida and we’ve found out as much as possible about the gameplan PTC has for product development. Could it be a new product? A new platform? Or perhaps their position on that Cloud mess and how to deliver apps to the user? Hmmm. Here’s what we know and what we think it might be.
