If you are new to 3D, you might be overwhelmed with all the different 3D CAD vendors explaining their solutions.  Since they all seem like they might meet your companies immediate needs, many companies look to price or brand awareness when making their final decision.  In this section, we hope to explain how there is a significant difference with PTC's solution compared to our competition in the 3D CAD SMB Market.

If you have looked at the other sections, you can see how Pro/ENGINEER is Simple, Powerful, and Connected.  Please look at this white paper that explains how Pro/ENGINEER's ease of use, features and capabilities are much more robust and powerful than the competition >>>>>
10 Reasons Why Pro/ENGINEER is the Best CAD Package for Under $5000

Why Pro/ENGINEER?
3 Major Differences

1)  Pro/ENGINEER is the only 3D CAD solution that is scalable from a one person operation to a Fortune 500 Company.
 There are four major players in the 3D CAD market for Small to Medium Size Businesses:
1.  Pro/ENGINEER® (Owned by PTC®)
2.  Solid Edge® (Owned by UGS®) 
3.  Solidworks® (Owned by Dassault Systems®)
4.  Inventor® (Owned by AutoDesk®)

3 of the 4 aforementioned companies (PTC, UGS, and Dassault) compete with "High End" 3D CAD software applications that are sold to the largest companies in the world like Boeing, Toyota, Nike, and Dell.
Both UGS and Dassault provide a different "high end" 3D CAD software to the large companies while selling smaller companies their "low end" solution (SolidEdge and Solidworks). 
PTC provides our large and small customers the identical 3D CAD design software package.  Therefore, a growing small company will never need to change their 3D CAD software application.

2) Pro/ENGINEER is part of PTC's Product Development System.
From idea to invoice, art to part, or problem to product, PTC will provide you the tool you need to get there.  We have over 40 different software solutions that help you create, collaborate, control, communicate and configure your companies digital data.  All of our applications work together as an integrated system so when you make a change to your design, all downtream applications like FEA, manufacturing, illustrations, etc. are automatically updated.  Our system was also developed to be interoperable with your other software applications like ERP, CRM, or SCM.  Best of all, it is the only Product Development System that has an internet architecture, so anybody in the world can participate in your product development process or you can be a part of any of the 40,000 other companies processes that use PTC products.

3) PTC's Training and Technical Support is unparalleled in the industry.
