We will launch an early access program and plan to offer it to the general public through an opt-in method in late summer. Participating companies will be able to evaluate new Onshape features at an early stage of the development cycle. By leveraging real-time product data, we aim to apply advanced technologies to engineering workflows to achieve automation and enhance design decision-making.

By collecting and integrating data from multiple systems such as PLM, ERP, CRM, IoT, EAM, and FSM, asset data is comprehensively managed and provided as a single integrated asset view. The AI-first design visualizes failure patterns, fleet-level insights, and quality signals that engineering and quality management teams have not been able to grasp until now. This enables exploration of asset data, facilitates problem analysis and response, and supports reliability improvement and revenue-focused initiatives.

AI Assistant: Provides guidance on engineering, best practices, and troubleshooting information, achieving a reduction in implementation time and dependency on external documentation. Beta Feature: An AI that reads 3D models allows the team to detect issues earlier and accelerate design validation. Feature Enhancements: Numerous enhancements have been implemented in the areas of design, simulation, and manufacturing, resulting in reduced repetitive tasks and accelerated workflows.

PTC certified as the official engine design software partner of TRD Creo for CAD and Windchill for PLM adopted as the standard solutions for TRD's high-performance engine design and development Creo and Windchill support enhanced engineering capabilities, efficiency, and speed to market

PTC Japan Inc. is strengthening its efforts in digital engineering in the development field of railway vehicles and railway-related equipment and parts, actively supporting the implementation of 3D CAD software "Creo" and product lifecycle management (PLM) solution "Windchill" in companies both domestically and internationally. As part of these efforts, we will hold a presentation on the use cases in the railway sector and the direction of AI utilization at the "2nd Railway Technology Exhibition Osaka 2026," which will be held at Intex Osaka starting May 27.

Windchill enables enterprise-scale digital engineering from acquisition to maintenance management, supports the streamlining and modernization of governance, and enhances the availability of mission-critical data, making it possible to identify opportunities for cost reduction.

Mazda adopts Codebeamer ALM to strengthen requirements management, improve quality, support compliance, and accelerate innovation for the development of Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV). It centrally integrates Mazda's advanced Model-Based Development (MBD) data, requirements, and verification results, establishing a foundation for integrated product development and future AI utilization workflows.

Direct connection of Altium's printed circuit board (PCB) design to Onshape with an integrated cloud-native workflow. Elimination of file-based PCB data exchange between electrical design and mechanical design. Streamlining the incorporation of detailed components into personal or corporate libraries.

Quickly obtain answers to questions in natural language through an embedded chat interface. Summarize and extract key points from product documentation to save the team's time. Apply AI to existing Windchill data while maintaining security and access control.

Adoption of Codebeamer as the standard for requirements management within the BMW Group, providing a common foundation for integrated product development.

PTC's cloud-native CAD "Onshape" directly connects to NVIDIA Isaac Sim, allowing for a transition from design to high-precision simulation in just minutes while maintaining a single reliable data source. It provides simulation-ready robot designs that are automatically updated in response to design changes.

Provides the only cloud-native MBD features integrated into the core modeling experience, fully integrating CAD and PDM. Embeds manufacturing information directly into live 3D models, achieving a single and always up-to-date product definition. Enhances collaboration and change management between engineering and manufacturing departments.

PTC announced that HOLON, a subsidiary of the BENTELER Group, has adopted PTC's product lifecycle management (PLM) SaaS solution, Windchill+, to support the development and market launch of level 4 autonomous electric vehicles (EVs) that comply with automotive industry requirements.

PTC releases Codebeamer 3.2, Codebeamer AI 1.0, and Pure Variants 7.2. With Codebeamer 3.2 and Pure Variants 7.2, the product data foundation for software-driven and regulated industries is strengthened, enhancing traceability, change management, and visibility across the entire lifecycle. Codebeamer AI introduces governed AI support into ALM workflows, reducing time to market, improving quality and compliance, and supporting large-scale development.

Transitioning from the Onshape Startup Program to Onshape Government to enable ITAR-compliant large-scale collaboration. Accelerating the development of the fastest-ever manufactured reentry capsule (scheduled for launch in July 2026). Supporting rapid iterative design, secure collaboration, and regulatory compliance readiness through the cloud-native CAD and PDM platform "Onshape."

PTC announced the launch of a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature called "Windchill AI Parts Rationalization," which has been integrated into the company's product lifecycle management (PLM) solution, Windchill. This feature aims to assist in solving challenges that the manufacturing industry has faced for years, such as duplicate parts, delays in parts search, lack of accuracy, and inconsistencies in parts data, by directly incorporating AI into the parts management workflow.

PTC announced today that SPG Company, a global leader in the design, development, manufacturing, and distribution of licensed products, has adopted PTC's retail industry product lifecycle management (PLM) solution, "FlexPLM," to modernize and support its product lifecycle operations. By transitioning from a legacy PLM system to FlexPLM, SPG Company will build a scalable cloud-based platform that supports faster development cycles and consistent product data.

PTC Japan Corporation and Toyota Motor Corporation are pleased to announce that they have signed an official partnership agreement for "GAZOO Racing," which will compete in the 2026 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC). Under this partnership, PTC Japan will support GAZOO Racing's participation in races and related activities for the 2026 season. GAZOO Racing's commitment to continuing challenges on the world's highest stage strongly resonates with the values of the manufacturing industry, which is always striving to embrace change. GAZOO Racing promotes "better car manufacturing starting from motorsports," emphasizing not only the challenge for victory but also the entire process involved. PTC Japan deeply empathizes with this spirit of challenge and passion and will participate as a partner walking alongside them. Through this partnership, PTC Japan aims to deliver the values of "challenge," "speed," and "teamwork" inherent in motorsports to a wider audience, while also providing new inspiration to those involved in Japan's manufacturing industry.
