PTC has six core product families: Creo, Windchill, Mathcad, Integrity, Servigistics, and Arbortext. PTC develops and delivers technology solutions, consisting of software and services. The Company's technology is primarily used by discrete manufacturers to design, operate and maintain complex products. PTC's technology is also used to connect products to the Internet for purposes of capturing and analyzing information from them. [2]

PTC Creo

Main articles: PTC Creo, PTC Creo Elements/Pro, Creo Elements/Direct and PTC Creo Elements/View

Suite of 2D and 3D product design software used to create, analyze and view product designs. PTC Creo software was released in June 2011 to replace and supersede PTC’s products formerly known as Pro/ENGINEER, CoCreate, and ProductView.[3]

PTC Windchill

Web-based database software that provides access to product information like MCAD and ECAD data files, process documents and software engineering information.[4]

PTC Mathcad

Engineering calculation software that is used by engineers to solve, document and share the calculations used for product design.[5]

PTC Integrity

Application lifecycle management software that lets engineers connect software engineering requirements with mechanical engineering requirements early in a product’s design phase.

Integrity along with other PTC products is aligned with the Systems Engineering V model / Diagram. PTC Integrity is the only ALM tool optimized for software intensive products and systems be it Medical Devices, Industrial Manufacturing, Aerospace & Defence, Electronics

& Hi Tech or Automotive. Integrity's focus on mechatronics has made it a must have solution for most manufacturers across the globe.[6]
