By connecting Windchill with Omniverse’s
real-time, photorealistic simulation development platform, teams will be able to visualise and interact with the most current Creo design data in a shared, immersive, environment. PTC will use Omniverse OpenUSD and RTX libraries to power an interactive, real-time viewport in Windchill, allowing
users to access high-fidelity 3D simulations without leaving their PLM environment. Engineers will be able to explore multi-disciplinary assemblies, simulate real-world performance, and collaborate across functions using live data directly sourced from Windchill. These digital twin workflows will enable companies to accelerate the development process, drive higher product quality, and democratise access to complex 3D design content. PTC has also joined the Alliance for OpenUSD (AOUSD), reinforcing its commitment to the OpenUSD open and interoperable 3D data standards. “Today’s most advanced products – from AI hardware to industrial machinery – are more complex, integrated, and engineering- intensive than ever before,” said Neil Barua, president and CEO of 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.”
Soft jaws – custom aluminium or steel inserts used to grip delicate or complex parts so they can be machined – typically take machinists 30-60 minutes per set-up to model manually. With Soft Jaw Designer this is reduced to a few clicks. Users simply position two blanks around the part model, select Generate, and seconds later receive complete soft jaw designs ready for machining. Once installed, the plug-in transforms fixture
creation. Instead of multiple sketches, booleans and clearance checks, programmers simply outline where the jaws should grip. Soft Jaw Designer then creates the soft jaws – cutting negative geometry, adding precision allowances and drilling corner relief – all while keeping the model fully editable. In real-world testing, this reduces the time spent designing soft jaws by up to 90%, the company states.
The software comprises preprogrammed
and pretested software blocks covering areas such as perception, positioning, and navigation. It enables users to add autonomous functionality to mobile machinery by integrating the blocks into their machine software applications, eliminating the need to develop software from scratch. Designed for engineering teams at original equipment manufacturers
(OEMs) and distributors, ACL software reduces development time and costs. “With geofencing capabilities integrated in our
Autonomous Control Library, customers can achieve greater operational control in a flexible, easy-to-use package,” said Adam Khaw, head of Autonomy, Danfoss Power Solutions. “ACL 4.0 highlights our Delivered Autonomy strategy, where proven software, robust hardware, and development expertise come together to deliver unmatched value. It's not about individual components, but about making the entire system work effectively from day one.”

This, the company explains, loads even large
and complex assemblies in seconds and allows QA specialists to perform detailed checks directly on the digital model – without having to rely on original CAD systems. Support for over 60 formats such as CATIA, NX, SolidWorks, JT, STEP, and many more makes it a universal platform for all CAD data. With precise measurement functions, section
analyses, and wall thickness checks, the software provides important insights into component quality. At the same time, the comparison function not only allows the analysis of different versions of a component, but also the comparison of the 3D CAD model with the 3D scan of the produced component – a key factor in change management and production. The ‘best fit’ function minimises the effort required to ideally position the CAD model and 3D scan in preparation for the comparison. Kisters 3DViewStation can be fully integrated
into existing engineering IT structures – whether PLM systems, PDM platforms, or QM databases. This also offers the ability to view models in desktop, web, or VR versions, allowing teams across locations to collaborate efficiently. In regulated industries in particular, such as
the automotive industry, aerospace, or medical technology, 3DViewStation supports compliant and traceable quality assurance.
