RTT Partners with Siemens to Enable Creation of Highly Realistic 3D Images from PLM Data

Wednesday, 02 December 2009

Munich, December 02, 2009 – Realtime Technology (RTT) AG today announced a partnership with Siemens PLM Software, a business unit of the Siemens Industry Automation Division and a leading global provider of product lifecycle management (PLM) software and services. RTT joins the Siemens Solution Partner Program as a software and technology partner in order to provide greater integration between components of the two companies’ cutting-edge software solutions. Both providers are cooperating closely to develop an interface that links RTT DeltaGen to Teamcenter®, Siemens’ flagship PLM portfolio software, via RTT PictureBook. The integration of RTT’s real-time visualisation technology with the world’s most commonly used product data management platform will enable companies to automate extensive process steps for creating high-end 3D renderings and virtual reality models, thereby boosting the efficiency of both product development and marketing.

High-end 3D visualisation plays a key role throughout product lifecycles, from the development and marketing of new products to product management. Digital product models, known as virtual prototypes, are used to create highly realistic, three-dimensional images that facilitate efficient communication in all phases of a product’s lifecycle. A significant benefit of the integration between Siemens PLM Software and RTT is the use of automated feeds to accelerate the creation process for these 3D images, thereby tremendously reducing the manual work required. Another is the integration of important background information about both models and projects, such as product structure, costs, vendors, change loops, etc.

“Together with RTT, we are making it possible for our customers to digitally manage their product lifecycles even more consistently than before,” comments Rich Ramsey, Vice President of Partner and Components Marketing, Siemens PLM Software. “The seamless integration of the visualisation process is an important enhancement which will help our customers to optimally exploit the full potential of their 3D models and data.”

Ludwig A. Fuchs, co-founder and board member of RTT, is delighted about the gain in functionality, “The integration of our software with Teamcenter generates huge benefits for our customers with minimal increases in complexity. It supports our core development goal, which is to improve the flexibility, efficiency and productivity of the entire product lifecycle.”
