PTC announced the availability of the Onshape-Arena Connection, a new functionality that connects its cloud-native Onshape«product development and Arena«product lifecycle management (PLM) solutions. The Connection enables product data to be shared instantly between the Onshape and Arena solutions with the click of a button, helping companies to accelerate the product development process and simplify collaboration with supply chain partners.
The Onshape-Arena Connection supports continuous, cross-functional product development that can significantly reduce costs and schedule impacts on the manufacturing process. With the Connection, all stakeholders in the product development process û including design engineering, quality, procurement, and supply chain partners û are always working on the same version of a design. This allows for design reviews at any time and improvements to the product before investments are made in expensive manufacturing lines and tooling. The Connection requires zero downloads, installs, or administration time and comes at no additional cost to Onshape and Arena users.
