The famous blender manufacturer chooses PTC Development Solutions to streamline their development.
Vitamix, famous for their household, restaurant and hospitality blenders, as well as a long history of infomercials, announced that they will streamline their design and engineering by expanding their PTC software library.
Vitamix estimates that by continuing to use PTC Creo, their time in the product design phase will reduce by 25%. With PTC Creo’s ability to use drag and pull to build a basic 3D shape and manage fine detail, Vitamix can design models based on their customers’ needs both quickly and easily.
Greg Moores, VP of engineering at Vitamix, states, “It is all about efficiency in innovation… I want my engineers and designers spending their time designing the best blenders in the world – not struggling with the design toolkit. PTC Creo is optimizing our design processes while fueling new product development.”
The product development at Vitamix will be further assisted by PTC Windchill, which is designed to ease the distribution and access of design information.
“Incorporating PTC Windchill into our system to manage all product and project data is our biggest strategic initiative in the coming year,” adds Moores. “As we look towards new innovations, our annual output of new products is now going to be driven by PTC Creo and PTC Windchill. We believe, with that pairing, that we can reduce time to market by 30 percent.”
It appears that with PTC at their side, then, Vitamix hopes to “mix-up” the competition.
