Engineering and manufacturing operate in separate systems, processes, and teams. A CAD model may look perfect in Creo, but the realities of assembly, inspection, operator training, tooling, and production variability may not become clear until the product reaches the...
For decades, buying high-powered CAD workstations was simply the cost of doing engineering. When design tools needed more computing power, IT bought more powerful machines. When engineers complained about slow performance, companies refreshed hardware. If a new hire...
PTC NEXT Spring 2026 showcased a clear vision for the future of engineering software: connected product data, AI-powered workflows, modern cloud platforms, and an increasingly integrated digital thread spanning CAD, PLM, ALM, manufacturing, and service operations....
Hello, and welcome back to another SPK and Associates vlog. In this vlog, we're going to talk about how engineering organizations are evolving to support more complex multidisciplinary products. And with that, choosing the right platform that you're going to do all...
For decades, physical CAD workstations have been the backbone of engineering teams. High-performance desktops packed with powerful CPUs and GPUs have long been considered essential for design, simulation, and product development. However, as engineering workflows...
Many engineering teams rely on multiple CAD systems across teams. The issue withusing multiple CAD tools is that it can lead to delays and innefficiencies. This white paper explores the benefits of consolidating onto one CAD platform.What You Will Learn In this white...
Speed and efficiency are no longer optional when developing products. They are critical differentiators. However, delivering high-quality designs fast while minimizing errors, rework, and costly delays puts engineering teams in a predicament. At the heart of this...
Product development is growing more complex. With this, it is more important than ever to know how to properly configure your workstation. Engineers must balance performance vs cost, local vs cloud-based workstations, and traditional CAD vs AI-augmented workflows. ...
As engineering teams become more distributed and product data increasingly lives in cloud-based PDM and PLM systems, traditional CAD workstation models are struggling to keep up. In this webinar, our team will explore how SPK vCAD modernizes CAD environments by...
CAD engineers working across multiple systems can lead to collaboration issues and data sprawl. Discover how consolidating on one platform, such as PTC Creo, prevents unnecessary converting and importing. What You Will Learn In this eBook you will learn: The benefits...
Challenges: LA Design had to adapt to various CAD tools to meet the diverse requirements of their clients. This created the challenge of ensuring seamless integration and compatibility across different software platforms, which was essential for maintaining project...
In modern engineering environments, product development rarely happens within a single team or location. Design engineers, manufacturing teams, quality specialists, suppliers, and service organizations all rely on CAD data to make critical decisions throughout the...
