Episode 8 - D-Orbit: Revolutionizing Space Transport for the Future of Humanity

“Even on my 8th launch - still goosebumps. I mean, you realize that engineers can cry.” Satellites are an essential part of keeping our modern lives running, allowing us to navigate, connect and observe the world from a phenomenal vantage point. But when a satellite is launched into space, it can take many months to get into position in order to start its mission. That was until D-Orbit changed the game. Their satellite carrier ION optimizes space operations by delivering satellites to their final destination in a matter of days, instead of months. D-Orbit is the world’s first space logistics company, and in this episode we find out how the company got started. We meet D-Orbit’s CTO Lorenzo Ferrario in the mission control centre, and hear stories of past launches when emotions run high amid the electric atmosphere. We also hear from Brian Thompson, who heads up PTC’s CAD division. He explains how D- Orbit uses PTC’s CAD software CREO to model their bespoke satellites in a fast and efficient way.

Episode 7 - Cupra Racing: The electric future of motorsport

“Cupra is a brand born in the 21st century. We call ourselves unconventional challengers because we want to do things differently.” If you think electric motorsport lacks emotion, prepare for an awakening. The passion pouring out of Cupra’s head of racing, coupled with the incredible sounds recorded in the driving seat of their championship racing car will show you why electric racing is earning its place in the mainstream. Cupra Racing are pioneers in the field, developing the first ever electric touring racing car before there was even a race for them to compete in. But that’s all changed, and years later Cupra has won titles in multiple events, from Formula E, to Extreme E and the FIA eTouring World Cup. In this episode we head to the company’s factory in Barcelona where they produce, test and design their racing cars, and meet the man in charge of turning Cupra’s dreams into reality, Xavi Serra.

“We can explore the controls and function of the product, and look at the texture of the upholstery. And it really does allow the customer to see what their stairlift will look like within their home”.

This is especially true when you need a stairlift installed for the first time, a piece of equipment you may never have imagined would find a place in your home. Stannah is an elevator company, working with augmented reality to bring comfort to their customers. From upholstery choices to chair types and rail colors, Stannah Engage allows the company to show their customers exactly what their new stairlift will look like in their home - and how it’ll move.

Episode 2 - Genesis Custom Sabers: Handcrafted Lightsabers for Real Life Jedis

“Imagination is one of the most profound human qualities. Every great achievement in human history has started as a work of imagination.” Beginning life as a passion project, Genesis Custom Sabers has since grown into Rob Petkau’s full time job. From cobbled together ‘junk sabers’ to immaculately crafted illuminated swords, Rob has honed his craft over the years, and now places only the highest quality sabers in the hands of wannabe Jedis. In this episode Rob explores the evolution of his designs, and how advances in technology have allowed him to create perfectly custom fit blades. He explains how he creates and designs the sound fonts that bring the sabers to life. And he discusses the immense appreciation he has for his fans, some who treat their sabers as ‘shelf queens’, and others, like Jimmy, who test (and break) them in combat.

Creo Parametric: Multibody Home --  Start Here!

Creo Parametric: Multibody Home --  Start Here!   I'm creating this blog to be the central home page for anyone interested in trying out the new capabilities first introduced in Creo 7.0  that support multibody design. Below will be links to other blog posts on specific detailed topics under the general heading of multibody. I'm interested in getting your feedback on all the new stuff, but I also want to try to do this in a somewhat organized fashion. So, you can think of this blog as the top node of a tree that will have a number of branches below it for the various multibody related topics.   In parallel to the list of blog posts below, I also plan to maintain a Multibody Infos post that provides you with links to further information, documentation, presentations, and any other information bits and pieces around multibody design in Creo. To get going effectively, I encourage you to first go through the What’s new material and tutorials that you find there, so that you have an overview and high level background on the use cases and capabilities. That will allow me then to go one level deeper and include some tips, tricks etc. in the blog posted here. I hope to be able to post new information regularly and hope you tune in, find it beneficial and give feedback in return.   If you want to send me private messages, that’s fine, too. In particular if you have any suggestion on future blog post topics or questions, feel free to contact me at mneumueller@ptc.com . Enjoy…Martin   Blog posts: Multibody – Intro, Model tree interaction and What’s that default body doing? Multibody- Seven 90sec-Tipps & Tricks around Booleans & Split Multibody - So many ways to trim a body Multibody - Creo 7.0.1 Enhancements  Multibody -  Windchill 12 & Creo 7.0.1 Multibody –How to display a body parameter in the model tree  Multibody – How to display, use or call-out a body parameter – Part 1  Multibody - How to display, use or call-out a body parameter – Part 2 Multibody - Body selection, Body object vs Surface referencing Multibody - How to get rid of a body? -  Show/Hide vs Remove Body vs Delete Body Multibody - How to save out a single body to .stl or step?
