NEEDHAM, Mass., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/-- PTC (Nasdaq: PMTC), the
product development company(TM), today announced that Control Alt Design,
Ltd., a full service design and engineering firm based in Arlington Heights,
Ill. has installed PTC's new Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire.
"Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire is simply the most thoughtfully architected product
development solution on the planet," said Control Alt Design owner Walter
Racyzynski, a veteran Pro/ENGINEER user since Release 10 of the software.
"With Pro/E Wildfire, we found there was precious little to learn. Things fit
together seamlessly. The logic is bulletproof. When working on a model, it
seems that the model itself is telling the system how to interact with me,"
Raczynski noted.
Control Alt Design provides product solutions to consumer, medical,
electronics and industrial goods manufacturers. Product development services
include research, strategic product planning, industrial design, design for
manufacturing, mechanical engineering, electronic hardware and software
development, model making, prototyping and manufacturing assistance.
The company's award winning products include high-end audio and video
components for Parasound, winner of the 2002 Consumer Electronics Show
Innovations Award, Annual Design Review winner Xircom's network adaptor,
Speedotron photographic Flash Heads and electronics, winner of the Chicago
Athenaeum Good Design Award and numerous medical products.
"Before Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, I used Pro/ENGINEER for all the engineering
tasks and other packages for styling," Racyzyski said. "With the breadth of
interactive surfacing in Pro/E Wildfire, I'm able to access a rich set of
surface tools to leverage the geometry I've already created."
Surface modeling is almost always a requirement for our customers,
Racyzyski adds. "Having a truly integrated modeler of this strength, fluent
in solids and surfaces, has helped Control Alt Design get market-winning
design to market -- fast."
Control Alt Design customers are also getting involved. "We have told our
customers of the benefits of sharing work-in-progress with the seamless
connectivity of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire," Racyzyski said. "I know of no other
CAD tool that promotes such a good night's sleep in a client."
