logo_grabcadCAMBRIDGE, MA, June 18, 2014 – GrabCAD today announced the integration of its Workbench cloud-based file management platform with PTC Creo CAD software, making Workbench even more powerful when used with PTC Creo.

Workbench_Creo1Thousands of PTC Creo users already rely on Workbench to manage and share CAD files, but shortly they will have access to additional capabilities available only to PTC Creo users, including:

● Viewing native models
● Viewing Creo drawings and other proprietary Creo documents
● Interacting with assembly information like family table instances

In addition, the processing power for all of the above actions will be provided by the GrabCAD cloud platform, freeing up the user’s desktop for other tasks.

“PTC Creo is the CAD tool of choice for many of the companies that use Workbench, whose users appreciate the ability to access an integrated set of design, simulation and manufacturing tools in one suite,” said Hardi Meybaum, founder and CEO of GrabCAD. “We’re excited that this integration with PTC Creo will make it even easier for these users to keep track of CAD files and bring others into their design process quickly and easily.”

Mike Campbell, executive vice president, CAD Segment at PTC, commented, “We recognize that some companies want to take advantage of GrabCAD Workbench for managing and easily sharing their CAD files. This integration will make sure PTC Creo users who want to use GrabCAD will have an outstanding experience.”

GrabCAD and PTC will roll out these new capabilities over the next several months to both new and existing PTC Creo and Workbench users.
