In this episode of the WAB Podcast, we take a look at STEM learning at WAB. Grade 9 student Zane and Grade 10 students Anna, David, and Xander take us behind the scenes of their robotics, game development, and biomedical engineering projects. What they share isn't just about technology, it's about creativity, collaboration, and learning with real-world impact. Building, Breaking, Rebuilding: Robotics in Action Xander and David have been working together to design a competition robot using the VEX V5 system. David focuses on 3D modeling with Onshape, while Xander brings the mechanical build to life. "Dex V5 is an educational platform where students design, build, and program the robots to compete in yearly challenges," explains Xander. "Every new season, a new game is released, which means teams must create brand-new robots to match updated growth in the field and objectives." When asked about challenges, David shares, "Testing parts and different designs of robots takes a lot of time, especially when you physically have to swap parts in and out. To solve this problem, we started using 3D modeling code Onshape, which has helped us reduce a lot of errors during the actual building process." Using AI for Health Innovation Anna's project is a low-cost cardiovascular risk detection device that uses AI to assess and rank heart disease risk factors. “The device uses an AI algorithm to analyze your risk factors that we'll be extracting using the same device,” she explains. “It analyzes this risk factor and also ranks them in importance.” The hardest part, she says, was sourcing reliable training data. “Algorithms need an unbiased and balanced dataset. Patient data is hard to get due to patient privacy, but at last we found two, one from Kaggle and another from UCI.” Anna believes that accessible AI is opening doors. “A lot of the algorithms are open source, so you can get them from the internet, and you don't have to code them on your own. With the help of AI language models, for example, ChatGPT, you're able to code these things on your own.” Code, Graphics, and Game Design Zane is creating a top-down RPG using GameMaker Studio. “It's free and it's really easy to learn and use,” he shares. “It's comfortable coding software that can be picked up pretty easily.” His biggest early challenge? "Getting used to the coding software. It has a lot of functions that are convenient once you learn how to use them, but don't make much sense initially." Working in a two-person team, Zane focuses on programming while his friend Nick handles the graphics. “In the last month or so, we've kind of switched around, which is a good experience for me, and I think he's having a good time working on his programming skills.” Reflecting on the process, Zane says, “Developing using code, I learned that mistakes are going to happen, and if you expect them, then it's easier. Expecting mistakes, one of the best things I've learned.” Learning That Feels Real All four students shared how these projects have pushed them, technically and personally. They've built new skills, worked through challenges, and found confidence in solving problems that matter to them. They also spoke about how this learning is shaping their futures. For some, it sparked a clear career interest, robotics, game design, or biomedical engineering. For others, it's the mindset that's sticking with them: creativity, resilience, and the power of working with others. “I think more people can do this than they realize,” Anna says. “With open-source tools, AI models, and even things like ChatGPT, you don't need to be an expert to start creating something meaningful.” These stories reflect the kind of purposeful, real-world learning happening all across WAB. Students are exploring big ideas, applying what they know in new ways, and connecting their passions to real-world challenges. STEM at WAB isn't about following a textbook, it's about curiosity, collaboration, and creating with purpose. Listen to the full conversation in Episode 5 of the WAB Podcast.
Dave shares his story of building up the Go-to-Market (GTM) engine at Onshape before it was acquired by PTC in 2019, what functional and leadership lessons he learned within that Onshape experience (venture-backed) that has translated to PTC (premier incumbent), how his team at the Velocity Group operates within the broader PTC organization, what lessons he has learned when it comes to recruiting and composing a high functioning GTM team, and finally a “What's Hot and What's Hype” overview for manufacturing innovation in 2025.

This Episodes Questions: I got into the hobby in the last year or so, and have been looking at lots of different printers for my second machine. I'm fascinated by the design of them. I have an older, second-hand, FlashForge educational model the "Inventor", and I rarely have to re-level my bed once it's dialed in. Why does the larger Voron design use a flying gantry with 4 stepper motors, instead of a fixed gantry and a moving build plate for the z axis? It seems like it would be so wobbly and it requires mesh bed leveling. Also, why are PEI build plates so popular when a Glass plate is so much flatter, more durable, and has better thermal mass? Tim What has been your favorite personal project or application of 3d printing? What have you made or fixed with 3d printing that you were most proud of, excited about, or found most useful? Ben Hey Guy and guys, I love my Ender 3 v3 and I've printed a ton of PLA with it. However, the stock profile in Creality Print for PETG prints quite slowly in comparison, around 50 mm/sec. How do I go about printing PETG faster? What settings should I look into adjusting so I can bump the speed and still get decent prints? Thanks! Bruce Hi Guy(s), Thanks for the discussion about FreeCAD. Since I asked my original question, there has been some notable development in the FreeCAD project that might entice you or some listeners to check it out. And just to be clear, I'm not involved in the development of FreeCAD or Ondsel, I'm just enthusiastic about its progress and think it could be of use to a lot of people. In the latest development builds of FreeCAD (available on their GitHub), they have made major improvements in the parametric behavior. Models are more resilient when making changes and references are less likely to break. FreeCAD is still not as usable as something like Onshape, but at the current rate of development, I think it is becoming serious competition. I guess this is supposed to be a question, so how about this: What are your go to resources for learning a new program/software? Do you have any specific websites or YouTube channels you recommend for learning your CAD program of choice? Thanks, Austin Hey guys, I've been developing an adjustable projection jig for the most popular honing guides (Guy can explain), but the parts aren't coming out square. I have a Bambu P1S, and I've tried different orientations for the parts (except diagonally), and different materials and print speeds, but the parts are consistently out of square, which renders the jig useless. I've had the issue since the printer was first set up. How do you recommend I fix the problem? Thanks! Damon
Ben trovati, amici del Tiralinee, ed eccoci all'episodio numero 61. Questo episodio è un po' particolare perché ho raccolto delle notizie un po' qua e là per la rete. Tra le altre cose, parliamo ancora di intelligenza artificiale. Non sono uno di quegli evangelisti che predica l'intelligenza artificiale a tutti i costi, ma essendo un argomento che ormai sta entrando praticamente in tutti i software che usiamo, ne parleremo molto probabilmente anche nel prossimo episodio. È una cosa con cui tutti dobbiamo confrontarci, perché, volenti o nolenti, la ritroviamo ormai in tutti i sistemi operativi. Un esempio è Microsoft, che nell'ultimo keynote ha presentato i nuovi Surface e il nuovo Windows 11, con l'intelligenza artificiale integrata nel sistema operativo e addirittura con un pulsante fisico all'interno dell'hardware per attivare Copilot, cioè l'intelligenza artificiale di Microsoft, che poi potrà aiutarci in molte situazioni. Vedremo se anche i nostri software come Autodesk, AutoCAD, ArchiCAD, PTC con OnShape, CREO e altri software potranno beneficiare di questa introduzione pervasiva dell'IA all'interno del sistema operativo. Parleremo anche di quotature, perché è un argomento che mi interessa e vedremo se oggi è ancora indispensabile. Poi, naturalmente, vedremo cosa è la progettazione DFM (Design for Manufacturing), se è importante oppure no. Parliamo appunto di progettazione per la produzione. E infine, lasciamo per ultima, ma non meno interessante, la mia rubrica LeggiLink o CAD Pillz, come la chiamo io, dove vi presento alcuni link che potrete poi scoprire voi stessi.

“Her favourite show used to be Friends, and growing up she could hear it and she could read the captions, and it was so exciting for her that she could get that moment back.”In the modern world, we have an abundance of technology that helps us with our communication, information gathering, and entertainment needs. But most of this is inaccessible for DeafBlind individuals whose primary language is tactile sign. It can be difficult for them to access news headlines, or to even find out what the weather will be like later on in the day. Tatum Robotics is advancing accessibility by developing a robot hand that can communicate with DeafBlind people through tactile sign and allow them to access the internet. Designed to allow for as much movement as possible, the T1 Fingerspelling Hand features 18 degrees of freedom whilst still feeling as much as possible like holding a real human hand. DeafBlind people's main source of communication is usually through human interpreters, who can't be with them all of the time, so this technology will open up a world of interaction for them. Our producer Curt Nickish went to meet Samantha Johnson, the founder of Tatum Robotics, in their headquarters in Boston. She demonstrates how one of the robot hands works and emphasises the importance of testing with members of the deafblind community to capture all of the complexities of tactile sign language.

There are 1.2 million of them in Kenya alone, that's a lot of combustion engines on the roads, and removing them is the problem that Roam Electric are helping to solveRoam was founded in 2017. They started out making electric safari vehicles (no surprise being located right on the edge of the national park) but they now aim to create an electric future for Africa by producing easy-to-use, affordable electric vehicles. As well as developing innovative electric buses as the country's newest and greenest mass transit solution, they also build an electric motorcycle called the Roam Air, primarily targeted at boda boda riders.In this episode we head to Nairobi to visit Roam's HQ to meet Masa Kituyi and Dennis Wakaba who show us round the shop floor, take a spin on a Roam Air and hear how the technology and design behind these motorcycles is the future of mobility in Africa.The other fascinating aspect of this story is the positive impact that the company is having locally. The workforce is 39% female and they're a success story in talent development in Kenya.We also hear from Jon Hirschtick at PTC, who tells us about how the Onshape software helps the whole team at Roam collaborate seamlessly in the design process and management of the whole manufacturing journey.Find out more about Roam here Find out more about OnShape hereYour host is Paul Haimes from industrial software company PTC.

“We believe that Africa shouldn't be trailing behind the developing world in green initiatives, but that actually Africa is primed to lead the drive to green initiatives.”Around the world, over 3 billion people don't have access to motorised transport. This means that farmers in emerging economies can struggle to get their produce to market. They might have to carry heavy loads long distances, or pay to rent a bike which isn't suited to dangerous roads, all because they can't afford to buy a truck. OX Delivers is working to change all this by allowing farmers to rent space in their electric OX Trucks. As the farmers are only paying for the space they need, the system remains affordable and allows them to take more goods to market and make more profit. The OX Delivers system is currently operating in Rwanda, but they aim to expand to other emerging markets. The OX Trucks have been designed to be durable enough to negotiate the hilly Rwandan roads, and fully electric to keep costs down and to be less polluting. Our producer Helen visited their HQ in Leamington Spa in the UK to find out more about how OX Delivers are constantly innovating and improving their trucks to give the best possible service to their customers. We also hear from Jon Hirschtick at PTC, who tells us about how OnShape's cloud-based system can suit a small start-up like OX Delivers and help their engineers to work collaboratively with their office in Rwanda.

“There's nothing really else out there that compares to this…. It's the closest to real life you can get without actually going out on track in a car.“ Imagine being able to race round all the world's top Formula One circuits and feel every bump and bit of understeer without actually having to travel anywhere. Or to be able to test drive a road car that hasn't been built yet on the motorway. Dynisma creates driving simulators that make this possible. Founded by ex-F1 engineer Ash Warne, Dynisma develops incredibly realistic driving simulators for both motorsport teams and the car industry. What sets their simulators apart though is how quickly they respond, in milliseconds, so drivers feel like they're driving a real car. Our presenter (and motor racing fan) Paul Haimes joined Ash in Dynisma's office in Somerset to learn more about how they build state of the art simulators - and to have a test drive in their flagship DMG-1 model simulator. Paul drives the DMG-1 around the famous Spa Francorchamps F1 circuit, guided around by junior Aston Martin driver Tom Canning, to feel the responsiveness and realism of the simulator.Ash also takes us around their manufacturing site to see the simulators in construction, and tells us about how incredibly accurate simulators can help motorsport teams and manufacturers cut down on travel and plan for a greener future. We also hear from Jon Hirschtick at PTC, who tells us about how OnShape's cloud-based system can help Dynisma engineers to be more collaborative and get to the cutting edge of simulation.Find out more about Dynisma here.Find out more about OnShape here.Your host is Paul Haimes from industrial software company PTC.

Augmented reveals the stories behind the new era of industrial operations, where technology will restore the agility of frontline workers. The topic is: Digital Manufacturing in the Cloud. Our guest is Jon Hirschtick, Head of SaaS, Onshape and Atlas Platform, PTC.In this conversation, we talk about the story of SolidWorks, using agile methods, listening to the market, charting the evolution of CAD into SaaS, and its emerging and future iterations in the open source cloud and beyond After listening to this episode, check out PTC, Solidworks, as well as Jon Hirschtick's social media profiles:PTC (@ptc): https://www.ptc.com/enSolidworks (@solidworks): https://www.solidworks.com/ Jon Hirschtick (@jhirschtick): https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonhirschtick/Trond's takeaway: Digital manufacturing is moving to the cloud and that means a whole lot more than office software moving to the cloud. In fact, establishing a real-time digital thread, through next generation low-code and no-code systems, will reshape industry. The notion of factory production, distributed teams, product development, will all evolve significantly, and will enable personalization across industry and across any and eventually all of manufactured goods. The ramifications will be huge, but they won't automatically happen tomorrow, and the benefits will spread unevenly depending on who--be it corporations, nations, startups, or small- and medium enterprises--grabs the gauntlet first.Thanks for listening.

"The tendency of the 21st century classroom teacher today is to use more technology in their classrooms and often times, students abuse it, teachers misuse it, and we all start to, well… lose it! There are lots of books, blogs, vlogs, webinars, professional development sessions, and even conference headliners, all trying to convert classroom teachers into believers that technology makes a difference in the classroom and that you just have to use it. The truth is, a great teacher is marked not by the amount of technology they use, or how quickly they can navigate a complex interface, but by how they are able to take the aggregate resources available to them, and design the most powerful learning experience they possibly can PERIOD. Yes, the 21st century has brought change to what we can use to teach our students, but let us not forget what we each recall form our own learning experiences. It all starts with a passionate teacher who always wants to try something new."Kevin White is a teacher, a learning designer, a technologist, and "a risk taker who has stumbled, faltered and failed so many times, that I feel I have learned some very valuable lessons along the way." His career started as a History Teacher in Santee, California at West Hills High School, but his first 8 years included teaching 16 different courses (mostly STEM, but also just about every 6-12th grade Social Science/History course in existence)He's currently teaching STEM at De Portola Middle in San Diego Unified School District and "Virtual Reality, Virtual Worlds and the Future of Learning" at San Diego State University.

Jon Hirschtick is the co-founder of both Solidworks and OnShape. In his 42 years of building these platforms, his software has been used to design more physical consumer products than anything else on earth. OnShape alone has over 3 million designers on the CAD software platform. Today Jon is going to share some valuable knowledge for inventors, startups, and small manufacturers on why agile product development is so important for hardware startups, what additive manufacturing can do to facilitate agile development, and how modern tools are making it easier than ever to get to market faster, at higher quality, and iteratively. Today you will hear us talk about: The Story of Solidworks and Onshape Learned at an early age on how to treat customers right Agile design Build hardware the way you build software a little bit, using an agile process for produce development. Work in a series of design sprints, with the end of each sprint developing a product. Daily stand up meetings. Agile Manifesto online. Jon is publishing a whitepaper on Agile development May 15-18 is the liveworks conference. Why agile now, 4 reasons. Software is joining with hardware. The upcoming workforce is naturally agile thinkers. The world is changing constantly. The tools are now here for agile. The great products are now being made by startups, or big companies want to work like startups. Real time collaboration. Additive manufacturing is changing rapidly every year 3d Printing conventions are powerful for seeing what is possible. Software now is innovative, fast, reliable. The issue of version history and files. Cloud native is the key to modern CAD design tools. Collaboration can now happen in real time, with edit history, on any device, anywhere. Software can now have clear traceable rigor and feature logging which is very important when you are going from prototyping, to short run manufacturing, to full scale manufacturing.

Well this is a fascinating story and it really is a story of global success borne out of three dads' frustrations in struggling to get their own children to sleep. Today, I interviewed Matt Dyson, who is the co founder and CEO of Rockit. I don't want to spoil the story, but they've won multiple awards along the way and it's a story of shed to global success. Inventing a product from that initial frustration of getting their babies to sleep, inventing it literally in the back shed, but pulling all their skills together, their design expertise, putting a prototype together and then going from there. And they literally are now selling across multiple countries, selling hundreds of 1000s of units. So great success, but still managed with a small team. There are fantastic lessons within this and you could almost argue that they've reached the stars. Well, I'll let you find out by listening to the interview as to what I mean by that. So some brilliant lessons here. I really suggest you get across and listen to Matt. So hard to chose just one aspect of business from this, but Rockit has been cash positive pretty much from the start and you might like to level up your Cash Habits using our scorecard. https://cashhabits.scoreapp.com Matt can be found here: linkedin.com/in/matthewrdyson https://rockitrocker.com/ Resources Shoe Dog by Phil Knight - https://www.waterstones.com/book/shoe-dog/phil-knight/9781471146725 Onshape - https://www.onshape.com/en/products/free Scaling up your business isn't easy, and can be a little daunting.

The Instafloss Invention – Eli Packouz – Ep 128 Eli is the inventor of Instafloss, the world's first 10 second floss. I love invention episodes because we cover topics from engineering to marketing. We talked in detail about how Eli came up with the idea, how he validated it was something people wanted, and how he engineered it. Eli worked with experts like dentists to create the ideal design. The product had a successful Kickstarter campaign. You can pre order it here: https://instafloss.com/products/the-10-second-instafloss Number one tip: You have to partner with people who know the stuff you don't. For Eli that was dentists. You can pay consultants or give equity. Clause – Make sure they do what they need to do or they don't get the equity. Want to be very careful with equity partners. How do you convince someone to work for equity – if its truly a good idea they will be on board Contact info: https://instafloss.com/ This week's episode is Sponsored by Onshape .

Dave Duncan is the Vice President Sustainability at PTC Corp, the company behind multiple product design software solutions including OnShape and CREO. He has spent over 20 years in the product design software world, and has his Bachelor of Engineering from Princeton University. Today Dave is going to share some valuable knowledge for inventors, startups, and small manufacturers on what it means to develop a sustainable product, what the 3 different types of product sustainability are, and how to use modern best practices in ensuring your product is most marketable by including sustainability as one of your key product development priorities. Today you will hear us talk about: Designing for sustainability Manufacturing for sustainability Servicing and Lifecycle management of the product Design for sustainability early The main impacts are around carbon emissions Products can be designed for sustainability What do you have to do to adhere to sustainability, and what can you do to improve sustainability beyond what the regulations are. Don't wait too late in the product design lifecycle to start building sustainability into the product design. Software can help analyze the options. Build in sustainability to your early design. Even in B2B product sales, now there are metrics to promote the purchasing of sustainable products. It gives your product an edge. This is an advantage as a startup 80% of a product's carbon and waste footprint is determined at design time. 20% can be done in the factory to reduce that further. Bottleneck analysis Energy management The circular economy / circular product In design, simply put, think about how your product will end, and how it can be re-used, recycled, or re-configured. Think about your commercial relationships with your customers regarding end of useful life. Generative design in OnShape can actually remove materials through AI. This is called lightweighting.

Trond's Takeaway: The momentum is clear, and one indication is the trend that PLM is being elevated to an enterprise system. But why is PLM such a hot market right now? One key word is greenhouse gas reduction because companies need a system of record to track their emissions, and this is not easy to do without a system in place. Transcript: TROND: Welcome to another episode of the Augmented Podcast. Augmented brings industrial conversations that matter, serving up the most relevant conversations on industrial tech. Our vision is a world where technology will restore the agility of frontline workers. In this episode of the podcast, the topic is Product Lifecycle Management's Momentum in Manufacturing. Our guest is Jim Heppelmann, CEO of PTC. In this conversation, we talk about the why and the how of product lifecycle management's momentum in manufacturing. Augmented serves an audience of executives, industry leaders, investors, founders, educators, technologists, academics, process engineers, and shop floor operators across the emerging field of frontline operation. And it's hosted by futurist Trond Arne Undheim and presented by Tulip. Jim, welcome to the show. How are you? JIM: I'm great, Trond. Great to be with you here this morning. TROND: Yeah, Jim. I thought we would talk a little bit about industrial automation and some specifics. But first of all, I wanted to talk a little bit about you. You grew up in Minnesota, got yourself a mechanical engineering degree, and became an entrepreneur, and sold your company to PTC. You were the CTO, I guess, for a while and now the CEO. It's been quite a journey. JIM: Yeah, it's fun. And by the way, industrial automation and related topics is my favorite topic. I was born on a dairy farm in Southeastern Minnesota, part of a very large family. It was a tough life. We never quite had enough money. So I was ambitious. I wanted to do something. I wanted to have a better life than I grew up with, not that it was bad, but maybe I wanted to have a little bit more economic security. I decided to become an engineer because I had spent a lot of time with equipment, machines, using them but also fixing them, taking them apart, putting them back together. I was good at math and science. So I went into mechanical engineering, but right away, I was drawn to software. And so I really got a major in mechanical engineering, a minor in computer science, and focused on how do you use computer science to do engineering? That led me to join a computer-aided design company, a CAD company. As an intern, I was assigned to a new idea they had which they called product data management. It was not very glamorous compared to the graphics of CAD, where you could twirl models around on the screen and so forth. So it's the kind of thing that you assigned to a new intern. As an intern, I took to it; I mean, it made a lot of sense to me. So basically, that's what I specialized in in my career, especially the early part of my career. And I became quite an expert at PLM, or at the time; it was called PDM. That led me, ultimately, when I was exposed to the internet, to say, "Wow, if you really leverage web technology with a light client, a web browser, make it easy for people to engage no matter what company they're in, then you could have whole supply chains working together in a very efficient way. So that led me to create a company called Windchill Technology, kind of a funny name based on a company in Minnesota; that's where the Windchill part comes from. But PTC came to acquire this company, and the business just really took off at PTC. In the ensuing years, I became the Chief Technology Officer across all of PTC, and then, as you said, that led to becoming the Chief Executive Officer a dozen years ago. It's been a great ride. It's been a lot of fun. We've accomplished a lot. The technology has come so far. Hard to imagine in the early days, it would end up here. But it's been a very exciting career trajectory, for sure. TROND: So, Jim, before we move into talking about product lifecycle management, I wanted to ask you a more generic question: what is the most challenging part of being a CEO? So you've gone from being an entrepreneur to being a CEO of a much larger structure here. What's exciting, and what's challenging about that? JIM: Yeah, I mean, I think what is exciting is also challenging, which is so much context-switching. In a single day, I go from worrying about budgets and financial plans to meeting with happy customers, sometimes frustrated customers to meeting with sales teams and R&D teams and R&D projects. And it's just a constant switch from one topic to another, which is exciting because they're all topics I like. But it puts a lot of pressure on you to very quickly remember where you left this conversation off last time you were involved and how to dive right back in and pick it up. And I think there's some pressure that comes from that, you know, to be on your toes ready to go and just switch from topic to topic to topic. And then, of course, there's the pressure of a public company that every 90 days, we have an earnings call. And our investors want to hear good news. Fortunately, we've had a lot of good news, but there's always a lot of pressure to make sure you keep it going. TROND: I wanted to jump then to product lifecycle management which is a specialty topic to you; it's not, right? Because you've been involved with this for a while, [laughs] and it's a passion for you. I guess in industrial automation; there are a lot of three-letter acronyms and such. But if you'd give your best way to explain how this software got started, what was the original intention? I mean, this is a while back now. We're talking 1998 when this software suite got created when Windchill started creating this software. What did it do then, and what does it do now? JIM: Well, PLM is really the system of record for product data. So if you think of salesforce.com, they got started just a couple of years later. They're a system of record for customer information, the 360-degree view of the customer. And in most companies, they have an ERP system, and that's the system of record for the financial data, all the purchase orders, and invoices, and whatnot, and might have a human resource information system, something like Workday, that's the system of record for all your employees. But if you're an industrial company that makes products, you have a lot of product data. And where is the system you can go to to find and interact with that data in your day-to-day job as part of that product development, or manufacturing, or customer support process? And so PLM really has become that system of record. And for an industrial company that makes products, it's a pretty important system of record. Like a CRM system or an ERP system, you're not just collecting and managing the data; you're also transacting against it, applying change orders, and building configurations of it, and whatnot. So PLM has become recognized in industrial companies as a critical anchor system of record. That's the way I like to think about it. TROND: Yeah, and we'll get into some of it after a while. But I guess product lifecycle is something that has gone much higher on the agenda for environmental reasons and others. So, I guess, if you think about a product from its ideation and to its disposal, essentially, it's a long chain of events that such a system, theoretically, could help a company with. JIM: Yeah, for sure. And just to go a little deeper in that, a lot of products are made of mechanical parts, electronic parts, software parts. They come in lots of different configurations. They change from year to year and sometimes month to month, so there are a lot of engineers and product managers involved. And then purchasing gets involved, and supply chain management gets involved because very few companies build everything themselves; they work with a supply chain. Then you're bringing in the factory and production planners, and then ultimately, the production process. They need this data, and they need the right configurations and versions of it. Then you ship the product to the customer, and you provide, in many cases, service and support. And you can't do that well without understanding the configuration of the product and all the versions of mechanical electronics and software parts in it. Really what we're talking about is, yeah, following that product throughout its lifecycle. Sometimes I like to use a golf analogy, like the front nine and the back nine on an 18-hole course. The front nine is everything that leads up to the product being manufactured, and the back nine is everything that happens thereafter. And to really do product lifecycle management, you have to think of all 18 holes, and that's kind of the focus we've had here at PTC. TROND: To what extent is product development kind of a management discipline, and to what extent do you feel like it's a technical discipline? And clearly, the software here is enabling digital records, I guess and tracking a product process. But product development historically it's not among those areas of management that have received the most attention, I guess, arguably. So how do you see this relationship? JIM: I think it's become more and more of a management methodology over time because you start with innovation. You can't legislate innovation. That sort of just happens naturally, organically, if you will. But every single product has a plan. It has a cost target. It has a launch date target, you know, a time-to-market target if you will. It has a quality target. More and more, it might have regulatory accomplishments or protocols it has to comply with. So I think that what companies are trying to do is unleash innovation but in a managed process. A lot of companies historically have used management techniques like waterfall management or stage gate. More and more companies are intrigued now about could we use agile, you know, scrum management methodologies to develop hardware like we develop software? Because it really works well for software. Now, hardware is not software, so there are some special concerns there. But definitely, there's a management methodology, and I think PLM really is critical to doing that management methodology well. You can't manage a process if you don't have access to the right information. You can't even have a dashboard if you don't have the right information. But more important than the dashboard, the people participating in the process can't be expected to do the right things if they're not given the right information to work against. And that's really why PLM is so critical to managing the whole cost, quality, time to market, regulatory, and similar concerns. TROND: So why, then, is PLM such a hot commodity right now? Because I guess that's what you're arguing, that it's becoming more and more crucial. What are the inflection points since 1998? And what is it now that makes it such a crucial system? JIM: Yeah, well, I think a lot of industrial companies are really leaning into digital transformation initiatives, a huge amount of spending. And it's because they see themselves potentially being disrupted or losing competitive advantage, at a minimum, if they're not sufficiently digital. And so when they lean into digital transformation, they quickly realize how much could we possibly transform a product company if we're not even managing our digital product data? So PLM quickly becomes a must-have these days in a digital transformation initiative. And then, of course, COVID has been a huge catalyst because it was hard to share information when everybody came to work every day. But if, on any given day, 40%, 50%, 60% of your employees are working from home, how do you interact with them? You can't walk down the hall and knock on their door anymore because they're not there, and if they're there, you're not there. I think what's happened as a consequence of COVID and the hybrid workforce that we're probably now left with forever; I think PLM is just absolutely critical must-have. So we've gone from nice-to-have and engineering tool to must-have enterprise tool. TROND: Let's talk about the hybrid workforce for a second. I mean, well, there were two massive predictions, one, this will never happen in industrial companies because we're actually talking about factories, and you can't be away from the factory. And then, of course, there were the future of work people saying, "This should have happened a long time ago. There's no need for any people, and factories are, you know, 24/7. There's technology. You don't really need to come in there." You've said some of these changes, you know, we're stuck with them forever. What does the hybrid workforce mean in an industrial organization like your own, for example, or your largest clients? JIM: I think if you look at a manufacturing company who has factories and such, you could separate their workforce into knowledge workers; these are people who are paid to think. And frontline workers are people who are basically paid to show up and use their hands, and feet, and so forth. And I think that frontline workers have to be there, and in most manufacturing companies, they are. And they very carefully protected these workers right through COVID because if those workers don't come to work, the factory doesn't run; there are no products. But the knowledge workers, the engineers, the finance people, the procurement people, supply chain, the planners, the service and support people, they really work on a computer all day. And whether that computer is in the office, or at home, on the dining room table doesn't matter that much in terms of their ability to get their job done so long as they have access to the right information and an ability to participate in the process digitally. So I think we're going to see...the forever state I envision here is hybrid on the knowledge worker side and in the factory on the frontline worker side, or sometimes at the customer side in the frontline worker side of the equation. TROND: To what extent does a PLM system then actually help frontline workers? So is it more of an enterprise system that helps, I guess, the leadership? JIM: It's an enterprise system. It is critical for the knowledge workers and informs the frontline workers. The knowledge workers need to participate in the process of creating and evolving this information over time. What's in this product we're going to launch, and how will that change? We have supply chain problems. We have to find a new supplier, okay, that's a change to the product. If we come up with new and better ideas or fix bugs, those are changes to the product. So the product information is changing. And there are a lot of people interacting with it online. So PLM is the system that they interact with. And they might be in the office interacting with PLM. They might be at home. That's knowledge workers. For frontline workers, when they come to the factory, they're supposed to build something today. What am I supposed to build? And PLM supplies them the information: here's the product you're working on today; here's the configuration, the bill of material, and the work instructions to go build that product. So I'd say think of frontline workers as consumers of this information. And sometimes, they're given feedback because the process isn't sufficiently effective. But the knowledge workers are really the ones developing and evolving this information over time. TROND: Give me some examples of how a PLM system is used by real customers; you know, what are the biggest use cases when you purchase such a system? And over time, what are the biggest value drivers of such a system in a real organization? JIM: The main reason all companies buy PLM is cost, quality, time to market associated with the products. A team of engineers and product managers is going to specify an engineer, and simulate, and iterate, and they're going to come up with some product concepts. And they're going to be working with the purchasing department on who will we source these parts from. They might be working with contract manufacturers who are going to actually produce the product if we're not going to produce it ourselves. If we're going to produce it ourselves, we have to work with the manufacturing engineers and then ultimately the factory. If this is a long-lived asset, we're going to have to figure out how would we service it? What kind of spare parts are we going to need? What kind of technical documentation and service work instructions would be required? So there are many, many people who have to interact with this product information before that product ever comes to life. Again, if you want to do this quickly, you know cost, quality, time to market. Let's take time to market; if you want to do it quickly, you need everybody working on the right information simultaneously. If you want to have quality, you got to make sure nobody's working on the wrong information because that's the source of quality problems; somebody buys the wrong part or makes the part incorrectly, uses the wrong version of the drawing, or the model, or what have you. That's where quality problems come from. And then on the cost, if you're trying to hit a cost target, you need to be way up front simulating if we built a product that looked like this and we bought all these parts from the suppliers, and we assembled it like this, what would it cost to do all that? All the decisions made during product development lock in cost. You don't spend so much cost, you know, so much money developing the product, but you make all the decisions that lock in cost later. If you design an expensive product, the factory is not going to make an inexpensive product; they're going to make an expensive product. People really need to collaborate. But then there are some advanced topics. So cost, quality, time to market, everybody needs that. Some people need regulatory compliance. Some people want to drive greenhouse gas emissions reduction strategies. Some people want to do what I call platform strategies, where they reuse many modules in many different configurations to be efficient. And there's more, and we can probably get into that. But there's a series of more advanced strategies that really go more to the competitive advantage that a company is trying to develop. MID-ROLL AD: In the new book from Wiley, Augmented Lean: A Human-Centric Framework for Managing Frontline Operations, serial startup founder Dr. Natan Linder and futurist podcaster Dr. Trond Arne Undheim deliver an urgent and incisive exploration of when, how, and why to augment your workforce with technology, and how to do it in a way that scales, maintains innovation, and allows the organization to thrive. The key thing is to prioritize humans over machines. Here's what Klaus Schwab, Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, says about the book: "Augmented Lean is an important puzzle piece in the fourth industrial revolution." Find out more on www.augmentedlean.com, and pick up the book in a bookstore near you. TROND: So, Jim, talk to me a little bit about the future outlook. So there are some very exciting prospects here for more ambitious uses of PLM software. If you are looking into the next, you know, two to five years, what are some of the more advanced use cases for this kind of software? What are customers trying to do? You've been talking a little bit about regulatory requirements and greenhouse gas emissions. What exactly does that use case look like? JIM: Well, let's take regulatory first. Some products are launched into regulated markets; a good example would be medical devices. That whole product development process and use thereof is regulated by the FDA or similar agencies around the world. Or let's take aircraft; they're regulated by the FAA. Or let's take automobiles; they are regulated by a number of different standards related to safety. So, for example, there are standards around safety critical software to make sure that some supplier doesn't make a late change to the software they contributed to the automobile. And now, suddenly, your anti-lock brakes don't work anymore because they introduced a bug. So in each case, medical device, automotive, aerospace, and there are others, what the regulators really want is traceability. They want to make sure that all of the changes that were introduced were planned and tested so that no errant change came in that produced some anomalous side effect that could kill people. And so, complying with the standards of the FDA, the FAA, or various automotive bodies is critical. And PLM is the system that gives certainty that those standards have been complied with. PLM is tracking requirements, changes, test cases to prove we have test cases for all of the changes and all of the changes were driven by legitimate requirements. If you can prove all that, the regulators are going to say, "Great, go ahead and launch the product." So I'm oversimplifying it, perhaps, but that's sort of a way to think about the regulatory use case. Let me pick a different one, though. Many of our customers have what they call platform strategies, and sometimes I refer to this as diversity with scale. So let me pick a great example of a PTC customer, Volvo, so if you know Volvo, they make trucks, but they also make construction equipment. And they make buses, and they make ship engines, boat engines. And so across those very different products, they try to reuse the same engines, the same transmissions, the same telematics systems; why? Because if the truck guys develop truck engines and the bus guys develop bus engines, and the boat guys develop boat engines, we'd need a lot more engine factories, and then we'd need a lot more spare parts for all these engines that last decades. So there's great inefficiency in unbridled innovation. So they actually want to control it a little bit and say, let's agree that the company will have a series of engines. And no matter what bus truck construction equipment or whatever you create, you should try to reuse these engines. What that means, though, is that the engine gets used in many different product configurations, many different buses, many different trucks, many different construction equipments. You get an explosion of configurations. In fact, just for fun, Volvo says that their products come in 10 to the 84th power hypothetical configurations. Now, very few of those configurations will ever be built, but they could be built. And so, how do you manage that? Just for fun, Caterpillar was meeting with me about a week ago. They were telling us about some of their challenges. And they said that their products, Caterpillar products, come in infinity minus eight configurations. I laughed and said, "That's a funny joke." And they said, "It's not really a joke." I mean, it's not really infinity minus eight, but there are so many configurations. Now, why is that important? Let's say you're trying to produce manufacturing instructions. You can't hand-author infinity minus eight manufacturing or service instructions. You're going to have to generate them from building blocks. So just like the products have building blocks, the information needs to be constructed in building blocks so that if you assemble a combination of building blocks to create a piece of construction equipment, you could then assemble the information building blocks to create the manufacturing instructions for that same piece of equipment and the service instructions as well. So the configuration management of the product and all of the information building blocks has to be directly aligned and very, very sophisticated. If you change that engine, you're going to have rippling effects across many different product lines. And so I call this complexity management, sometimes diversity with scale. But how does a company get the ability to create many different products but reuse the same factory and service capabilities to the degree possible? That's a big challenge for companies. But it's the difference between being competitive, high growth, high margin, and not being competitive. So it's a must-have in certain industries but very much an advanced topic. If you talk to a startup company, they would say, "I don't even understand what you're talking about." But these larger companies, it's absolutely critical to their financial wherewithal. TROND: So I want to get to green- in a second, but before that, what do you say to people that would claim that industrial automation has taken a long time to get to this fairly advanced stage that you're describing here? I guess, you know, for example, from the perspective of an impatient, young software engineer who's looking at this space, they're saying, "Well, you guys, you're finally coming to cloud, you know, still have some on-premise." And there are a lot of elements in this software. We talked about software that's been developed since 1998. There's quite some legacy, not just in your product but in every automation company's product. And certainly, your customers must have the legacy challenge as well. This is not a space where systems get changed out every six months. So tell me a little bit about that reality. JIM: In tech, there's a saying that goes something like this, that many breakthroughs have less impact in the near term than you expected but more impact in the long term than you expected, internet being a perfect example. The first couple of years the internet, you know, it was kind of silly stuff and maybe just publishing papers and whatnot, and today it's the way the whole world exchanges information. When I look back over my career, the technology has changed a tremendous amount. But when you look at how much is it changing this year, it looks like, well, not that much. But what happens is there are a lot of new concepts, like you mentioned, the cloud. But when I first worked on PLM, it was a mainframe application; then it became a client/server application, then it became a web application. And now it's a SaaS, a cloud application. These changes take time, but then they unleash whole new use cases, whole new value, and the products get better and better and, frankly, less and less expensive over time. And then you get to that tipping point where it really makes sense. Maybe ERP got to that tipping point, I don't know, 15, 20 years ago, and CRM got to that tipping point 10 years ago. I think right now, PLM is at that tipping point where people really see the value, and the value proposition makes sense. What do I need to put in? What do I get back financially from an investment in PLM? That's starting to make a lot of sense to people. I used the phrase earlier we've gone from nice-to-have to must-have in the last couple of years, thanks in large part to digital transformation and then COVID. TROND: You used agile and scrum earlier, but even beyond those techniques, there's a demand in the industry for software that can be very easily configured by non-specialists. So here we're talking about perhaps low-code software in and of itself, or at least that the user interfaces are easy to operate. And I guess you can understand that because the training challenge, for example, in manufacturing and, you know, you were referring to frontline workers. And while the training factor there is significant but also, conversely, on the knowledge worker side, to use your definition here and distinction between the two, even engineers have had to contend with a lot of new frameworks. And they were not trained on the kind of software that you're talking about here. Many of them were industrial engineers and still actually don't receive an enormous amount of IT programming in their curriculum. There are so many other things to focus on. So what do you see there in terms of the low-code space or in terms of the interfaces? Is industrial automation also gradually simplifying? Or are we on this enormous train towards more complexity in all that chain? JIM: Well, I think what's happening is the systems are becoming more sophisticated behind the curtain. But then we're providing different user communities with role-based views into that information. If you think about a product manager, an engineer, somebody in purchasing, somebody on the factory floor, somebody in the service bay, they all need product information, but their needs are quite different. And then when you go from one company to the next, they might be different again because the companies are different, the products are different. So yeah, definitely low-code approaches...for example, we have a product called Navigate, which is kind of a low-code overlay onto the basic PLM system. A low-code approach that allows you to tailor what different user communities experience when they log in, I do think is very important because if I'm in purchasing, show me what a purchasing person needs to know and no more. If I'm on the factory floor, I don't need to know what things cost; I just need to know what the work instructions are. So show me just a limited view that hides all the rest of that complexity. Certainly, there are some power users who need a lot more, but there are a lot of users who really need kind of almost looking at the information through a straw if you will. There's a fairly limited amount of information and functionality that's relevant to them. How can we serve that up to them in the simplest possible way? I do think that's critical. It needs to be tailorable in order to work well. The introduction of low-code approaches into PLM has certainly helped with the broader adoption to go beyond the engineering department and really make it an enterprise system. It's been a critical enabler. TROND: I want to benefit from some of your experience to think about, you know, what's going to happen next in the broader field of industrial automation? But perhaps you can kick it off with a little bit more detail on how you see the green challenge working out. Because clearly, more and more industries are starting to take the climate challenge or just even bits and pieces of it, like you were talking about earlier, the product lifecycle tracking of a product, worrying also more about the end state of their products. What are systems then having to adapt to? JIM: Let me say; first, some companies see climate change and greenhouse gas reduction as an opportunity. And there are a lot of green tech companies launching, startup companies launching to produce next-generation products. On the other hand, there are a lot of larger companies that are under tremendous investor pressure to be more green. If you're a public company right now, you really have to be active on the environmental, social, governance (ESG) front. You have to have a story, and it can't just be a story. There has to be some reality behind it. So what's happening now is companies are saying, "Okay, well, where does greenhouse gas come from? And, by the way, who really is a great producer of greenhouse gas?" And it turns out manufacturing companies actually have fairly substantial greenhouse gas footprints. The production of their products in their factories and the production of all the materials, you know, raw materials and whatnot, has a lot of energy use associated with it. And then, some of these products go on to be used by the customers in a way that also consumes a lot of energy use. So manufacturing companies are saying, well, if I wanted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, I really have to back up and think about the products I make and how could I make them with less greenhouse gas footprint. But how can I also design them so that when operated, they generate less greenhouse gas footprint? But all this stuff starts in engineering. People in factories don't get to make changes. They have to be specified by the engineering department. So just like the engineering decisions lock in cost, frankly, they lock in greenhouse gas footprint. And the important thing is to bring awareness in analytics upstream so that when an engineer is thinking about how to innovate and solve a particular problem, they say, "Well, this approach would have a high greenhouse gas contribution, and this alternative approach would have a very low greenhouse gas approach. Let's go with this secondary approach for reasons of reducing our greenhouse gas footprint." Again, if you really want to move the needle in a manufacturing company, you can't get far if you don't open the hood and look at the products, and the system you log in to do that is called PLM. And so PLM will be manufacturing companies' best friend as they think about over time how to consistently reduce their greenhouse gas footprint, and actually, track the progress they're making so that they can publish to their shareholders and whatnot the incremental progress in how well are they advancing toward their goals. TROND: Well, Jim, what you're talking about now clearly is a big part of the future in the sense that this, you know, it sounds so simple when you're explaining it. But measuring that, obviously, is not something that software in and of itself can help a company in every part of it, right? I'm assuming this means a lot of rethinking inside of these industrial companies. But if I want to benefit more from your broader view on the industry, what are some of the other things that you think in a longer time frame are happening in the industrial space? I mean, are we looking at more and more innovation from startups? Like, you came yourself from a startup. How do you see the startup innovation in this space versus sort of the giant...PTC now has become more of a giant, but obviously, like every company, you started out in a different position. What are some of the technologies that you're excited about that are going to really change this space as we move into the next decade? JIM: Let's back up and talk a little bit more about cloud and SaaS because if you look at the PLM industry, it's very much an on-premise industry; you mentioned this earlier. If you look then at business software, in general, this is an important year because this year, more of the entire ecosystem of business software is delivered as a SaaS model than an on-premise model. This is the first year where there are more SaaS in total than on-premise, but within our little corner of the world called PLM, that's not true at all. We're very much an on-premise market. But customers would have great benefit if we could deliver this to them via the cloud as a service rather than ship them software or let them download software to be more practical. We think, at PTC, this industry is going to the cloud. The automotive industry is going to electrification, and the PLM industry is going to SaaS. It's really that simple. Is it happening today right now? I don't know. I still drive a combustion-engine automobile. But I know at some point, I'm going to be driving an electric vehicle. And, Trond, here in California, I mean, they just passed a law there that said by 2035, you can't even buy a combustion automobile. So I know you're going to be going to electric if you want to own a car. Again, I'm making an analogy. What's happening in the automotive industry as it relates to electrification is what's happening in the PLM industry as it relates to SaaS. The industry is in transition. There will be winners and losers in this transition. PTC has tried to position itself to be a winner by being out front, paving the way, and bringing the industry along with us. So I think that's a pretty profound change that's coming, and it brings tremendous benefits, cost of ownership, simplification, real-time collaboration up and down a supply chain, and many others. TROND: Do you have any advice to would-be entrepreneurs in the industrial space? It's interesting, at least to me, that, yes, we have Tesla now, and a few others, but kind of the poster child examples of startups is usually not an industrial company. Well, there are certainly many, many more of these success stories that seem to come out of the garage-type thing that is perhaps not hardware and certainly not industrial. What is your view of that? JIM: My advice there is to focus on what's most important, and that is developing your innovation and getting it to market. I'm talking about innovations that involve physical products. But frequently, in the startup world, there are lots, and lots of electronics and software involved these days as well. But we have several products, like our Onshape CAD product and Arena PLM products, that are pure SaaS. They have never existed in a shippable form and never will. They're extremely popular with startup companies because the startup company says, "I don't have time to hire IT people and set up software systems in my company. I'm trying to get this innovation to market. And I need things like CAD and PLM. I just don't need to own them. I need to use them." And so products like Onshape and Arena really are popular with startup companies. And plus, in a very unique way, they enable agile product development. And again, when I say agile product development, I mean develop hardware like you develop software. You might remember I said historically; hardware has been developed with a stage gate or waterfall model. Software used to be that way, but software has gone to an agile...almost exclusively gone to agile product development scrum-type methodologies. Could we bring those scrum methodologies back over to the hardware and develop hardware and software the same way? Yeah, that's very, very interesting to startup companies because it's all about speed. But it's pretty hard to do without SaaS because if you're going to all work on the same data and make new versions of the product every single day, well, then we need to have the data remain collected together. We can't have it distributed out on a whole bunch of desktop computers, or it just doesn't work. So I think that startup companies need to focus on what's important, the SaaS model. And the ability of the SaaS model to enable an agile scrum approach is absolutely critical to these startup companies, the entrepreneurs that are driving them. TROND: It's exciting your idea here of developing software, I mean, developing hardware at the speed, I guess, and with the methodology of software. Can you tell me more about what that actually would mean? What sort of differences are we talking about? I mean, for example, in terms of how quickly hardware would evolve or how well it would integrate with other systems. JIM: Some of the most important principles of agile or scrum product development are daily builds, a highly iterative approach that's not too deterministic upfront. In a waterfall method, by contrast, the first thing you do is determine the customer requirements because that's what's going to guide your whole project. In an agile world, you say, I'm not sure the customer even knows I'm inventing something new. The customer doesn't even know what I'm doing, but I'll need to show it to them. And they'll be able to react when I show it to them, but I want to show it to them every week or maybe even every day. I want to be able to interact either with the customer or with the product owner, which is a person who has been designated to represent the interest of the customer. And I want to every single day be able to show the progress you've made and test it. The thing that really burns people in a traditional waterfall process is you're given a set of requirements. You develop a perfect solution. Six months later, you show the perfect solution to the customer, and they say, "That's not what I meant. I know I said that, and you're complying with the words. You're not complying with the intent because the words didn't quite accurately capture the intent." So in this waterfall process, you lose tremendous amounts of time, sometimes by going back and starting over. In the agile project, you're showing them the digital models of the product every day, or perhaps every week, or even every month, if it makes more sense. But you're showing the customer your progress, and you're getting continuous feedback. And so you're evolving towards an ideal solution very, very quickly. Again, agile software developers have been doing this forever. But we haven't been doing it on the product side, the hardware side, because the tools really weren't set up for that. When software engineers adopted agile, they adopted a different set of tools. As hardware engineers are adopting agile, they're also saying, "We would need a different set of tools. They'd have to be cloud-based, SaaS-based so that we were always working on the same data, and we always had the latest version of everybody's contribution right there at our fingertips," as opposed to, say, checked out on their laptop, and they're on vacation this week. So it's an interesting time in the industry. And I think there's a real breakthrough coming, which will be enabled by SaaS. TROND: Is it frustrating sometimes that there's also, I mean, you've been talking now about the inspiration from the software side and innovation side perhaps over to the hardware side and more the industrial side. But isn't it frustrating sometimes that there is obviously a lot of history and experience on the industrial hardware side, and you have to teach new generations that some of these things are...they don't operate as quickly? So, yes, we can bring some methodologies there, but there are some constants, I guess, around infrastructure and factories that are a little bit harder to change. So as much as we would want all of it to be developed at the speed of software, there are some additional complexities. How do you think about that as, you know, you're running an industrial automation company? There is some value on the other side of this coin, you know, explaining and perhaps working together to smooth out the fact that we're dealing with a material reality here in most factories. JIM: Yeah, well, I mean, it is frustrating, but it's also what leads to the next generation of companies. Older companies may be entrenched in their working methods and resistant to change. Some little startup company comes along. They're not resistant at all. They're a blank sheet of paper. They can do whatever they want. They have no inertia, if you will, no organizational inertia. So they're very, very flexible. And these new companies not only have innovative new ideas, they have innovative new approaches, and innovative new processes, and innovative new tools. When we think of all these clean tech companies, startup companies developing electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, for example, a company I'm thinking of there is Beta Air, or they're maybe producing electric batteries like a customer we have called XING Mobile, or ChargePoint producing chargers for Teslas and other electric automobiles, these companies are saying, "I don't have time to buy systems. I don't have time to build factories. What I want to do is bring smart people together, use tools that are already running in the cloud, come up with innovative new ideas, and pass them on to contract manufacturers. And I'll have a product in the market with very little capital in very little time. Later, I'll think about how to scale it up to be something much, much bigger." But, for example, the use of contract manufacturers is a huge breakthrough. It means that you don't have to go build a factory before you can build a product. You just set up a relationship with somebody who already has the factory and knows perfectly well how to build such a product. It's just your ideas in their factory. And so these kinds of disruptive approaches are very, very interesting. It causes pressure on the old companies to say, "Are we really just going to stand here and let them do this to us? Or should we open our mind a little bit and be more flexible to change?" TROND: Fascinating, Jim. It's certainly...it's a world with a lot of moving parts, the industrial one. So I thank you so much for this discussion. Is there anything you want to leave the listener with in terms of how they should view product lifecycle management as it's kind of moving into the next generation? JIM: Let me offer up one last idea, kind of a big idea, and that is the role the metaverse will play in the industrial world. When we think of metaverse today, we generally think of gaming or social media. And there are kind of cheesy metaverse ideas, you know, you can go play a game online in some artificial universe, and it's maybe fun, but it's not meaningful. But what we think we can do, what PTC is working on, is how can we take a setting that's real, could be a factory, could be a customer site, and how could we very quickly virtualize it into a metaverse so that we can then, from a remote place, enter that metaverse and interact with the people in it, the real people in it who have been virtualized but also the equipment and machinery? How can I go debug a problem in a factory by quickly turning the factory into a metaverse and joining the metaverse? How can I go solve a customer product problem by turning that customer site into a metaverse and joining them there? I mean, I think there are some really interesting ideas that PTC has been working on there. And again, it's not metaverse for gaming and entertainment; it's metaverse for industrial productivity. That's going to be a big thing. We're way ahead of the market there, but wait 5 or 10 years; everybody is going to be talking about this. TROND: So the industrial metaverse, Jim, that's going to be a real place. JIM: It's going to be a real place. Let me add we call it a pop-up metaverse because there are so many places in the world. I don't need to virtualize them all because most of them I don't care about. But if I build a certain type of machinery and I ship it to a customer, and it breaks down at the customer site, and I need to service it using product data, well, I can buy an airplane ticket and rental car, and I go to the customer site, and I'll be there in three days. Or I could ask the customer to whip out their smartphone, convert that situation into a pop-up metaverse and let me join into it. Five minutes later, I'm virtually standing next to the customer observing the problem and suggesting what they should do to try to correct it. It's a big, profound idea. I'm super excited about what it could do for us. TROND: Well, that's fascinating. I certainly think that the industrial metaverse sounds a lot more useful and perhaps even more exciting than the consumer versions of the metaverse that I've seen so far. JIM: Yeah, I totally agree with you. TROND: All right, Jim, it's been a fascinating discussion. Thanks for sharing this and taking the time. I hope you have a wonderful day, and thank you for your time. JIM: Yeah. Great, Trond. Thank you very much. PLM is obviously an exciting industry to me. You can probably sense that in my voice. It's a world that's really coming to light right now, a lot of growth, a lot of excitement with customers, a lot of big ideas, and I'm happy to have an opportunity to share them with you today. TROND: You have just listened to another episode of the Augmented Podcast with host Trond Arne Undheim. Our guest was Jim Heppelmann, CEO of PTC. In this conversation, we talked about Product Lifecycle Management's Momentum in manufacturing. My takeaway is that the momentum is clear, and one indication is the trend that PLM is being elevated to an enterprise system. But why is PLM such a hot market right now? One key word is greenhouse gas reduction because companies need a system of record to track their emissions, and this is not easy to do without a system in place. Thanks for listening.

This week on the podcast, we're catching up with Ralf Schneider, captain of the European rookie multibot Jäger. The team faced big challenges this season — Ralf's UK teammates were prevented from traveling to the U.S. due to COVID restrictions, which meant he had to lean on the help of other teams to get into the BattleBox. We learn more about his design ethos, and his journey to the 2021 season of BattleBots (returning Jan. 6 on Discovery Channel!)

For many of you tuning in to this episode, Richard Seymour and Dick Powell will need no introduction. For those of you who have not come across their work...you are in for a treat! As you will hear in this podcast, both partners brought (and continue to bring) very different skillsets to the business, advertising designer Richard Seymour and industrial designer Dick Powell were in different cohorts at the RCA and while their paths crossed, it was only a couple of years later while both lecturing in St.Albans that a common love of motorcycles brought these two creatives together and eventually led them to join up and create the powerhouse that is SeymourPowell. They quickly established a sound reputation for the innovative and forward‐looking design of many products for leading British and overseas manufacturers. Much of their work is not for public consumption, as it is geared to developing future strategies for companies and brands, often several years from the present day. Amongst such clients is the Renault automobile company, for whom Seymour Powell produced advanced interior concepts for more than a decade. Amongst the best‐known products designed in their London studio have been the seminal Freeline, the world's first cordless kettle (1986) for Tefal, the BSA Bantam motorcycle (1994), the Baby G watches for Casio (1996), sports cameras for Minolta (1998), and a bagless vacuum cleaner for Rowenta (2001) developed from the air intakes of desert helicopters. Other significant clients have included BMW, Nokia, Clairol, ICI, Ideal Standard, Panasonic, Yamaha, and Ford's Premier Automobile Division, showing Seymour Powell's F350 Concept Super Truck (2001) at the Detroit Motor Show of 2002. They have also won several design awards including a Design Week Award (1990), a D&AD Silver Award (1991), and a BBC Design Award (1994). Both partners have also been actively involved in the promotion of design and the design profession with a wide range of inputs in design and business circles, design journalism, and broadcasting. Seymour and Powell have attracted wider public attention through their television work, most notably programmes such as the six‐part Better by Design Series (2000, produced by Channel 4 TV in conjunction with the Design Council) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhAtgJ3KRj8 which focused on the advantages that could accrue from a fresh appraisal of everyday products such as kitchen bins, shopping trolleys, and razors. One such case study concept, the Bio‐form bra for Charnos, became a best‐seller in the lead up to Christmas 2000.We are indebted to Dick Powell for generously giving his time not only to this podcast but to supporting design and technology education over the years, including his 2017 lecture delivered for the D&TA at the RSA in Battersea in 2017 and freed up from behind a members paywall to accompany the launch of this podcast https://tv.data.org.uk/Designing-your-FutureSo grab a coffee, find a cosy chair, plug in your device of choice and enjoy Designed for Life in conversation with Co-founder and Chairman of internationally renowned design and innovation company SeymourPowell, Dick Powell.

Augmented reveals the stories behind the new era of industrial operations, where technology will restore the agility of frontline workers. In episode 23 of the podcast, the topic is: Digital Manufacturing with CAD/CAM in the Cloud. Our guest is Jon Hirschtick, Head of SaaS, Onshape and Atlas Platform, PTC.In this conversation, we talk about the story of SolidWorks, using agile methods, listening to the market, charting the evolution of CAD into SaaS, and its emerging and future iterations in the open source cloud and beyond.Augmented is a podcast for industry leaders and operators, hosted by futurist Trond Arne Undheim, presented by Tulip.co, the frontline operations platform, and associated with MFG.works, the industrial upskilling community launched at the World Economic Forum. Each episode dives deep into a contemporary topic of concern across the industry and airs at 9 am US Eastern Time every Wednesday.

In fact, establishing a real-time digital thread, through next generation low-code and no-code systems, will reshape industry. The notion of factory production, distributed teams, product development, will all evolve significantly, and will enable personalization across industry and across any and eventually all of manufactured goods. The ramifications will be huge, but they won't automatically happen tomorrow, and the benefits will spread unevenly depending on who--be it corporations, nations, startups, or small- and medium enterprises--grabs the gauntlet first."Thanks for listening.

Successful serial entrepreneurs are unique in their ability to see transformational shifts before they happen and then they ultimately build a company to meet this future demand. In Jon's case, it started during his time at MIT when he saw an opportunity in the CAD industry to automate an engineer's sketchbook. It led him to start his first company called Premise which was later acquired. The next shift was recognizing the difficulty of using CAD software for product designers and thinking there has to be a better way. This led to the launch of SolidWorks and they built their software to run on Microsoft Windows, which was groundbreaking at the time. The company scaled rapidly and it led to another successful acquisition. As technology evolved to more of a SaaS business model and cloud based architecture, this opened the door for his latest company called Onshape. It changed the game for product designers in many ways, but especially for team based product development collaboration. The company also scaled aggressively and another amazing acquisition, this time by PTC in 2019. Oh, and not only is Jon a great entrepreneur, but he was also part of the famous MIT Blackjack Team, which we discuss in lots of detail about this experience and also his interest in magic. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: * His experience using a computer for the first time at his high school which includes a very precious fun fact about a popular movie from the 80's. * Why he chose to study Mechanical Engineering at MIT and how he got involved in the CAD software industry. * A journey through Jon's entrepreneurial career including lots of stories around the companies he's built. * All the details about the launch of Onshape, its acquisition by PTC, including the growing popularity of the platform as well as their focus on making a meaningful impact on important initiatives like education where over 1M educators and students have free access to their software. * Advice for founders on building out their core foundational team. * And so much more.

Augmented reveals the stories behind the new era of industrial operations, where technology will restore the agility of frontline workers. In episode 18 of the podcast, the topic is: Transforming Foundational Industries. Our guest is Dayna Grayson, General Partner and Co-founder of Construct Capital, a newly formed VC firm.In this conversation, we talk about how Dayna became a trailblazing female VC, her early thesis around the SaaS model as transformative for industry to avoid ERP lock-in, her experience from being on the board of many famous startups, including Formlabs, Desktop Metal, Onshape, and frontline operations platform Tulip. She explains why she co-founded $140m fund Construct Capital in late 2020. We discuss how software is transforming industries that have arguably been somewhat stale since the industrial revolution. She shares her approach to invest in and scale the startups by non-linear and product design aware founders; we look at some recent investments of hers, engineer workflow tool Copia, EV charging software ChargeLab, fresh food assembly automation Chef Robotics. Finally, we touch on the future of manufacturing. After listening to this episode, check out Construct Capital as well as Dayna Grayson's profile on social media:Construct Capital (@constructcap): https://constructcap.com/Dayna Grayson (@daynagrayson): https://www.linkedin.com/in/daynagrayson/Trond Arne Undheim: "My takeaway is that Dayna Grayson is right about factories. The factory floor is a too limiting framework to use to understand emerging manufacturing firms. Production facilities might also become microfactories, industry products become tech platforms. What does industry look like 15 years from now? We won't even recognize it. The foundation is changing. Foundational industries, yes, but created in new types of foundries."Thanks for listening.

The pandemic has spurred teachers like Amanda Hough to teach CAD remotely, but how do you do that if students don't have the hardware to run resource-heavy CAD software? Amanda uses cloud-based CAD platform OnShape, and her students run it in a web browser, no installs needed. She talks about her experience switching over to OnShape this year, its place in education even when the pandemic is over, and how she got into STEM education in the first place as a career-changed from marine biology.

This episode was recorded during the early stages of the worldwide Coronavirus scare in the Western Hemisphere and we start of with talking about a crowdsourcing project that Ethan is working on. Facebook group: Opensource Covid-19 medical supplies Multiple crowd-sourced projects: #projectopenair #coventchallenge Designing in OnShape (https://www.onshape.com/) We eventually move on to talk to Dave Walker (https://www.instagram.com/davethewalker80/) and he tells us about how he got into cameras, photography and tinkering and about the atomic nature of his day job. He talks about the Bulldog 4X5 camera (https://www.ephotozine.com/article/bulldog-5x4-self-assembly-camera-large-format-review-7560) which is unfortunately no longer available. He also talks a bit about a digital camera he built for infrared work in the darkroom using a car back-up camera. The big reason we wanted to talk to Dave is his work with LCD shutters and their capabilities. They are very cool. We move on to the Covid Camera Challenge: Build a camera at home with parts on-hand as low-tech or as high-tech as you want it to be. Build it and take pictures of it and send them to us. We will put together a PDF zine of the projects. If you can’t use it because you can’t get it developed or can’t get the film or whatever, that’s cool. We are aiming at an end of May deadline on this project.

Podcast 11 - Rene Descartes Join the Noob and his cohost as he talks about a bunch of stuff he doesnt know and kinda talks about Rene Descartes. Descartes is a fantastic contributer to the world of math and science. In this episode the noob classesly disrespects all of that. Most importantly he is the Father of of the Cartesian Coordinate system... in other words the way we locate eveything in the CAD world.

Simulation Software – David Heiny – Ep73 David is Co-Founder and CEO of SimScale. SimScale is a web-based simulation platform bringing together CAE (computer aided engineering) functionality, content and people. Simulation is an engineering technique where a computer will approximate a situation, like the airflow through a heat exchanger or the load bearing ability of a bridge. These softwares are very powerful and can accurately predict many situations but up till now, owning the software and hardware required to run simulations was very expensive. Simscale solves this issue by bringing simulation to the cloud. Much like Onshape has done with CAD software, Simscale is doing with simulation. Essentially you would be renting their computers/software to run your simulation. Additionally, Simscale has many great engineers to help you set up your simulation correctly. Lastly, David and I discuss the technical side of how simulation works.

WTFFF?! 3D Printing Podcast Volume Two: 3D Print Tips | 3D Print Tools | 3D Start Point
Reviewing the ins and outs of Onshape, a cloud-based CAD software that claims to allow everyone on a design team to be able to work on a design from anywhere on a computer, tablet, or phone. When you first think about cloud based CAD software, you may think that you are going to sacrifice something because it is online and that so many of these are free and very inexpensive. We have reviewed a couple of them already, one of them being Sketchup and another being TinkerCAD. TinkerCAD is a beginner software, but Onshape is something that we have just come to know recently. This is a very serious CAD program. It is not what you would expect. To send us a message, go to 3dstartpoint.com or shoot us a message at info@3dstartpoint.com or on our facebook or twitter!
