Webinar Replay: From Weldment Design to Production: Connecting Creo & Windchill
Air Date: November 5, 2026
Connect Your Weldment Design to What Happens Next
The design model is only part of the manufacturing process. Teams also need to define how the weldment will be built and communicate those steps to production.
This session explores weldment methodologies in Creo, including a multibody part demonstration, followed by an overview of manufacturing process management in Windchill. See how connected product data can help engineering and manufacturing teams reduce duplicate work and stay aligned.
What You’ll Learn
- Design weldments in Creo with downstream manufacturing needs in mind.
- Reuse engineering data in Windchill to connect engineering bills of materials (eBOMs) with manufacturing bills of materials (mBOMs).
- Develop process plans and work instructions using product data to support shop floor activities.
Learn how to design weldments in PTC Creo and carry that data into manufacturing with PTC Windchill.
Join TriStar’s Bryan Enabnit and Corey Jones for a practical look at weldment modeling and the connection between engineering designs, manufacturing BOMs, process plans, and shop floor work instructions.
