Conceptual
and Industrial Design
Capture Ideas and Forms that Meet Any Aesthetic Requirement.
Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire is unmatched for developing and communicating stunning product concepts. It's a truly open solution you can use to share ideas—or refine concepts using freeform surfacing and reverse engineering tools. Designs can be sent directly to a rapid prototyping machine, or transferred to downstream Pro/ENGINEER applications.
Easy-to-use tools, blending 2D or 3D, curves and surfaces, and imported sketches for concept exploration and industrial design
Advanced also to-rendering to create photorealistic images
Interoperable with other CAD systems
Realizable Benefits
• Increase the number of product ideas conceptualized an evaluated
• Improve the richness of product collateral
• Bring higher quality products to market faster
Design Collaboration
Extend Digital Models to the Entire Team.
Efficient collaboration among product teams is key for achieving product development business goals. Yet software tools have not generally lived up to the challenge. Superior collaboration must support both synchronous and asynchronous information exchange to match the way team members naturally engage. Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire delivers both of these capabilities from a single interface.
With Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, remote users can share digital product definitions, regardless of their location, for conducting real—time design reviews, collaborative design sessions, or frequent information sharing. Design data can be communicated from the desktop to multiple. global team members, who can then review designs in real—time with other design locations, outsourced design partners, and tooling suppliers. These capabilities even extend to team members who may not have or use Pro/ENGINEER.
Real-time, synchronized design conferencing between any number of users anywhere on the Internet
Cross-enterprise communication for design collaboration, supplier collaboration, design reviews, remote training, and technical support
Secure Grooves-enabled file sharing, conferencing, and chat
Connects seamlessly to PTC's Product Development System
Realizable Benefits
• Reduce travel expense through virtual, multi-party design reviews
• Increase information exchange through ability to advance designs and resolve design conflicts in real-time
• Decrease time-to-market while ensuring compliance to requirements by immediately making current information available to all Reduce development cost through remote system administration, training, and diagnostic support

Detailed Design
Refine and Fully Document Any Product, Regardless of Complexity.
Some manufacturers struggle to develop product definitions because of incompatibility across multiple CAD systems or functional shortcomings. With Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, design engineers can handle tasks of any complexity, easily connecting to other users and accessing information over the Web — directly from the design environment. Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire is the scalable choice for small and large companies alike.

Routed Systems
Design and Document Any Electrical or Fluid System.
Designs for complex fluid and electrical systems can be fraught with inaccuracies and miscommunication. Pro/ENGINEER Routed Systems solutions offer comprehensive and associative capabilities for electrical, cabling, and piping design — as well as manufacturing. Designers, packaging engineers, and manufacturing engineers can quickly design, route, document, and produce complex harness and piping systems.
• Full support for a wide range of 2D diagrams, including block, electrical, fluid, and pneumatic schematics
• Create complex 3D electrical harnesses
• Drive 3D harness and 3D pipelines from 20 schematics to ensure accuracy and verify before manufacturing
• Create associative manufacturing data from 3D harnesses
• Instantly generate annotated isometric pipeline drawings and output FIF data for CNC pipe bending machines
Realizable Benefits
• Reduce rework and improve quality by verifying the accuracy of 3D harness and piping systems before manufacturing
• Eliminate or reduce prototyping expense
• Lower development cast by eliminating manual transfer of data between 20 schematics and 3D routing
