SIGMETRIX, LLC ANNOUNCES CETOL 6σ TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS FOR ASSEMBLY ENGINEERING AND SYSTEM-LEVEL TOLERANCE OPTIMZATION ARE FULLY-INTEGRATED WITH PTC’S CREO™
MCKINNEY, Texas – June 13, 2011 – Sigmetrix, a global leader in providing precise, easy-to-use assembly design analysis and tolerance optimization software, today announced that CETOL 6σ and Tolerance Analysis Extension, based on CETOL 6σ Technology are the industry’s first, fully-embedded assembly engineering and system-level tolerance optimization solutions for PTC’s Creo Parametric™ software. CETOL 6σ is the market leader for robust assembly design leveraging Sigmetrix’ unique advanced assembly design tools along with variation and tolerance analysis and optimization.
Sigmetrix’ CETOL 6σ software works directly with native Creo Parametric models ensuring that analysis results are in sync with continuous design iterations. CETOL 6σ can reduce analysis times by as much as 75% in comparison to other solutions on the market and enables users to optimize product performance and reliability while reducing scrap and warranty returns.
By using the same models and a common user interface, graphics window, and workflow for both the Creo Parametric and CETOL 6σ analysis, designers maintain a single set of data across the entire design process. Coupled with its advanced visualization capabilities, CETOL 6σ precisely guides the user to the best opportunities within a design for optimization impacting quality, reliability and manufacturability.
“Throughout the 20 years that Sigmetrix has been a Gold Partner in PTC’s PartnerAdvantage™ Program, they have continued to maintain CETOL 6σ as what we believe is the premier assembly design and tolerance optimization technology in the world,” said Andy Barlow, PTC’s Senior Director of the PartnerAdvantage Program. “As usual, Sigmetrix has stepped up again and with their integration proven their commitment to the Creo Parametric software with both CETOL 6σ and Tolerance Analysis Extension, based on CETOL 6σ Technologies. Sigmetrix continues to be a key strategic partner for us in the optimization of dimensions and tolerances.”
Since 1999, Sigmetrix, LLC has developed software focused on providing precise, easy-to-use assembly design analysis and tolerance optimization software powered by their market leading CETOL Technologies™ - including CETOL 6σ and the recently released Tolerance Analysis Extension v5.0, which focuses on a fully feature integrated 1D Tolerance Stack-up replacing typical spreadsheet tools. Through the company's unique technology foundation, research relationship with the top universities and on-going input from strategic corporations around the world, Sigmetrix is uniquely positioned to accelerate the implementation of robust system assembly design and tolerance optimization processes.
“PTC's approach with Creo advocates open and integrated systems including engineering applications such as CETOL 6σ," said Tim Bogard, Sigmetrix President and CEO. "As we continue to offer technology that streamlines the process of product development, the CREO environment streamlines the integration process for its partners."
