“Our automotive customers have
development cycles that last 4-5 years.
But we can run digital simulations with
PTC Creo to evaluate our windshield
sprayers years before the first physical
prototype of a vehicle is available.”
Praveen Pai,
Lead designer
“Using PTC Creo Flexible Modeling
Extension, we anticipate a 35% drop in
design iterations as we work with
customers.”
