PTC Enhances AI Infrastructure via NVIDIA Omniverse

PTC is expanding its collaboration with NVIDIA by integrating NVIDIA Omniverse technologies into its Creo computer-aided design (CAD) and Windchill product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions. Also, PTC has joined the Alliance for OpenUSD (AOUSD), in support its commitment to the OpenUSD open, interoperable 3D data standards.

By connecting Windchill with Omniverse’s real-time, photorealistic simulation development platform, teams will be able to visualize and interact with Creo design data in a shared, immersive environment. PTC will use Omniverse OpenUSD and RTX libraries for an interactive, real-time viewport in Windchill.

This integration will provide users with access to traceable, version-controlled product information. Engineers can explore multidisciplinary assemblies, simulate real-world performance, and collaborate across functions using live data directly sourced from Windchill. 

"Today’s most advanced products—from AI hardware to industrial machinery—are more complex, integrated, and engineering-intensive than ever before,” says Neil Barua, president and CEO, PTC. “By deepening our collaboration with NVIDIA and joining the Alliance for OpenUSD, we’re giving our customers the ability to incorporate design and configuration data in a real-time, immersive simulation environment.” 

NVIDIA has leveraged PTC’s Creo and Windchill solutions to streamline its product development process. Integration of these tools into the NVIDIA Omniverse development platform, and the embedding of the Omniverse viewport into Windchill will bring real-time simulation and immersive visualization directly into the heart of development workflows. 

“PTC is a global leader in manufacturing design solutions. By integrating Omniverse technologies into Creo and Windchill, PTC is enabling designers and manufacturers to move from concept to production faster and with greater precision," says Rev Lebaredian, vice president of Omniverse and simulation technologies at NVIDIA. 

All product releases and integrations, including the timing of any such release or integration and any features or functionality, are subject to change at PTC’s discretion.
