The award
D
allara means racing cars, but above
all it means technology, because
creating a car requires around eight
months of virtual simulations, which, given
the very short turnaround between one
championship and the next, means that
there is rarely more than one month
available for the assembly phase. In this
context, state-of-the-art design and
calculation tools are fundamentally
important and, having realised this back in
1993,
Dallara chose PTC, the market leader
in the American Product Life Management
(
PLM) sector, as its partner in this ongoing
process of innovation.
The prestigious «PTC Live Tech Forum» is
held in Italy on an annual basis and is
dedicated to PTC’s innovative technologies
and company strategies. This year the
Forum was held in the Hotel Parma e
Congressi in Parma on 6th March and was
attended by the managing director of Italia
PTC, Stefano Rinaldi, who presented the
company’s “vision” and its future prospects.
During the course of the event, which
featured interesting discussions,
presentations, demos, and contributions
from other companies who have chosen PTC
to develop their products, Dallara, together
with Ansaldo Breda and the Pavan Group
were presented with the PTC Awards.
Dallara was selected to receive this award for
the following reasons: «for having been
among the very first companies to adopt
parametric CAD tools, transforming the way it
designed its products, and for having chosen
Pro/ENGINEER over twenty years ago».
«
For being one of the first companies to
understand the need for a PLM system in
order to transform its processes and the way
they are managed, when PLM was still in its
infancy».
«
And, last but not least, for its commitment
to the use of PTC solutions in transforming
not only the way Dallara creates its
products, but also how its provides support
and service to its customers».
Stefano Rinaldi presented the award to
Luca Pignacca, the Dallara design manager.
