CAD engineering gets an augmented slice of reality

摘要

Boston-based software company PTC has introduced an augmented reality (AR) tool to its suite of CAD engineering products. Unveiled at LiveWorx, PTC's annual showcase event for customers and media, Vuforia Studio Enterprise will allow users to add an AR component to any of their connected CAD creations, ranging from factory equipment to medical devices. Vuforia is designed to integrate with the company's own Creo 3D CAD software, as well as PTC's ThingWorx IoT platform. However, PTC said the tool will also be able to function in tandem with other popular CAD programmes.
