Using PTC Creo Parametric and Flexible Modeling, an engineering company was able to reduce new project design time by 75% by more efficiently reusing existing design data. The document discusses how a leading LCD display manufacturer in Taiwan, AmTRAN Technology, purchased licenses for PTC Creo 3.0 and additional extensions after facing product development challenges. They aimed to achieve shorter mechanical design time, improved large assembly design processes, and a flexible design methodology. It also provides details on the sales win, including that AmTRAN had not allocated budget for CAD software in recent years but was shown how PTC Creo 3.0 could greatly improve design productivity. The $650K order included an upgrade to

Business Challenges & Initiatives Sales Win Overview PTC Product Use
Located in Taiwan, AmTRAN Technology is a
leading company in the LCD display manufacture
industry.
• AmTRAN needed to address product
development Concept and Design
challenges.
• AmTRAN only had a small number of
licenses for PTC Creo Engineer I
package. They needed PTC Creo
Advanced Assembly Extension (AAX)
for copy geometry and engineering
change functionality.
• The positive business outcomes they
were looking to achieve included
shorter mechanical design time,
improved large assembly design
process, and flexible design
methodology.
Congratulations to the team that contributed to this win:
Sales: Daniel Hsiao
Technical Sales: Charlie Cho
Compliance: Judy Chen
• AmTRAN had not allocated budget for
CAD software in last two years, but we
were able to show AmTRAN that their
engineers would greatly improve their
design productivity by using PTC Creo
3.0.
• The $650K order included an upgrade
from PTC Creo 2.0 to PTC Creo 3.0.
They also purchased licenses of PTC
Creo Advanced Assembly Extension
(AAX) and PTC Creo Flexible Modeling
Extension (FMX).
• Key stakeholders at AmTRAN in the
buying process included the RD
Director (Technical Buyer) and IT
Manager (Coach).
PTC Creo 3.0 Win at AmTRAN Technology

Bandai uses direct modeling in a parametric environment to
solve design challenges
Bandai established its business in 1950 as a wholesaler of metal toys and other products. With
its major success in marketing “Kamen Rider Henshin Belt (Masked Rider Series
transformation belt)”, Bandai entered into full-scale character business, and now designs,
manufactures and markets toys as well as many other products, including plastic models, toy
snacks and sweets, toys in capsule, character cards, apparel, and household goods.
“The Boys Toy Department has never been afraid of
change and aggressively pursued 3D CAD systems
initiatives.” “PTC Creo has enabled us to make last-
minute changes quickly through the integration of
parametric and direct modeling approaches, leading
to reduced time to production and improved efficiency.
As a result, we are now able to spend more time on
engineering and improve the quality of our products.”

“PTC Creo is a powerful and stable design platform, it
can meet all requirements of our product design
process. After PTC Creo adopted by Shanghai Yuan
Zhao company, We changed the existing design
method. It doesn’t bring us the pain due to design tool
change, but to speed up the efficiency of our design
and shorten the design cycle. We can reuse the
legacy data effectively in PTC Creo environment.”
