The initiative offers free access to the
company’s software, including its Creo+ software- as-a-service (SaaS) computer-aided design (CAD) solution, Onshape cloud-native computer-aided design (CAD), and product data management (PDM) platform. Of additional benefit, firms can also tap into its application lifecycle management (ALM) solution Codebeamer+, as well as a startup package for its Arena product lifecycle management (PLM) and quality management system (QMS) solution. “Aerospace and defence start-ups are
tackling some of the world’s toughest engineering challenges, and they need tools that help them get ahead,” said David Katzman,
general manager of Arena and Onshape, PTC. “Through this new programme, we’re equipping them with our industry-leading solutions and support from day one so they can move fast, meet compliance demands, and stay focused on building what’s next.” Eligible startups can participate in the
programme for multiple years to help support growth towards key funding and revenue milestones. In addition to the free software, they will gain access to PTC’s ecosystemof venture capitalists, incubators, technology partners, and fellow innovators, plus opportunities for mentorship, exposure, and industry engagement. Ben Schleuniger, CEO and co-founder of
Orbital Operations, commented: “Designing next-generation spacecraft requires tools that are as agile and forward-looking as the missions we’re building.
The event was organised
to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation, a cause close to the team’s hearts following Phil’s sudden
death. Team members navigated bouncy castles, slides, and various inflatable challenges while honouring their colleague’s memory. Phil McCluskey was remembered by his colleagues as a valued team member whose loss deeply affected everyone at TECHSiL. The decision to support the British Heart Foundation reflects the team’s commitment to funding vital research into heart disease prevention and treatment. The 5km course tested participants’ endurance and teamwork
as they bounced, climbed, and slid their way through the colourful obstacle course. Despite the physical challenge, spirits remained high as the team united for such a meaningful cause. The fundraising effort demonstrates how workplace communities
can come together to create positive change from tragedy, ensuring Phil’s memory lives on through support for life-saving cardiovascular research and awareness programs.
“We adopted Onshape through PTC’s A&D
Start-up Programme last year, giving us a fast, secure foundation to collaborate and iterate from day one. As our needs expanded, the Onshape Government offering enabled us to meet compliance requirements without slowing down. We’ve truly appreciated PTC’s support and collaboration every step of the way.”
The award is recognition of the commitment the UK electric motor and
gearbox manufacturer is making to sustainability targets alongside the environmental progress it has already made. Presented with the standard from independent certification body BSI in
May this year, the ISO 14001 award credits the practical steps the company has implemented towards waste management, environmental sustainability, and energy consumption. Parvalux is aiming to reduce metal waste by 25% and its non-recyclable
waste by 10% based on 2024 figures. In addition, its environmental management system also places strong focus on its supply chain to optimise quality, longevity, as well as recyclability. The final primary objective in Parvalux’s environmental management system
is to reduce its energy consumption by 10%, also based on 2024 figures. The company’s energy reduction targets follow significant progress the company has already made. Since the opening of its new global manufacturing
headquarters in Poole, Dorset, in 2023, Parvalux has reduced its CO2 emissions by 129 tons. The building’s roof- mounted solar panel array generates nearly 40% of the operation’s energy requirement, producing a total of 598,675 KWHs of energy.
