With its strong links to the academic sector, Adept Scientific plc, the UK's leading distributor of specialist technical computing products and long-time distributor of Mathcad®, also from PTC, is the natural choice for this partnership.
Pro/ENGINEER is the standard in 3D product design, featuring industry-leading productivity tools that promote best practices in design. An integrated, parametric, 3D CAD/CAM/CAE solution, Pro/ENGINEER provides a powerful, easy-to-use, affordable solution for teaching a wide variety of courses.
Already highly profiled in the academic market with over 53 per cent of UK engineering universities currently using Pro/ENGINEER, it is the number one educational and industrial CAD package on the market and leads the field in depth and breadth of functionality.
Top UK Universities including Brunel, Cambridge, Loughborough and Manchester already standardise on Pro/ENGINEER for teaching Engineering and Product Design courses and for certain courses it’s even a requirement that school- or college-leaving applicants have prior experience of using the software.
With teaching of the Government introduced Engineering Diploma for 14-19 year olds due to start in September this year, Pro/ENGINEER is a ‘must have’ for Further Education establishments who want to provide their students with the best foundation for their continuing studies and the skills to become the Engineers of the future. In fact, PTC software is already used as part of the curriculum in over 83 per cent of secondary schools in the UK
Announcing the partnership, Dr Paul Bragg, Managing Director of Adept said: “It’s a great opportunity to take on such a mature, market leading product. The Pro/ENGINEER University and Student editions have been created with specific user groups in mind and have been priced very competitively to address the financial needs of the academic sector.
“Pro/ENGINEER is a fantastic addition to our range and we look forward to working closely with PTC to extend its reach into Further and Higher Education.”
Pro/ENGINEER Student Edition, Pro/ENGINEER Student Bundle and Pro/ENGINEER University Editions are available now from Adept Scientific in the UK and Ireland.
