Video Shows How We Can Make a Difference in People’s Lives

Mike Campbell is an executive VP for CAD at PTC. He's also a member of the Design News Advisory Board. When I met with Mike a few weeks ago (oddly, we live/work fairly close to each other, but met in Germany), he sent over a few links to videos that PTC had created to highlight the features of its Creo design software.

I agreed to look at the videos. But to be honest, I get lots of these types of video where a vendor is pitching his product, and didn't have high expectations. The first two (of three) videos were really well done. However, they still fell into that "pitch" category. However, the third video really made me sit up and take notice. It still talks about Creo and how it was used by this OEM, but it was really compelling. It's a video about a company called College Park. Based in Detroit, they develop high-tech prosthetics.

The video looks at a few individuals who have made use of the College Park product to lead perfectly normal lives, if you consider motorcycle racing, snowboarding, and mountain climbing normal. It's a five-minute video, and I think you'll be glad you watched.
