The Third Angle PTC

“Females nowadays have to see it to believe it, and I never really had that. There wasn’t much female representation and now that’s improving - it’s such a positive time to be in motorsport.”
You may not see women on the track racing in Formula 1 right now, but that’s all set to change. F1 Academy is a brand new all-female series which is helping women progress to new levels of competition. And in this episode we meet one of the women likely to make history.

Abbi Pulling is racing in the F1 Academy for Rodin Carlin, and Paul Haimes - not one to miss an opportunity to visit ‘The Home of British Motor Racing’ - meets her on test day in the heritage pitlane at Silverstone. We also meet Rodin Carlin’s F1 academy team manager Kenny Kirwan, who tells us more about the new Series and how it’ll work. He even takes us for a tour around the garage where we fire up the car the women will be racing in the Series, and find out just how powerful it is.

Rodin Carlin is a long-time customer of PTC’s computer-aided design software CREO. Find out more about CREO here.

“We’re using the eye as a window to the health of the body. We’re developing solutions to some of humanity’s greatest healthcare challenges.”
Our eyes contain a vast amount of information about our health, but they’re an untapped resource. Assessing the eye requires contact, and that can be uncomfortable and unsafe, so it’s often avoided. That’s why Occuity’s technology is game-changing.
Their contactless handheld devices not only unlock the full power of the eye and open up a world of healthcare opportunities, but they’re also so easy to use that patients can assess themselves. In this episode we meet Occuity’s head of marketing Richard Kadri-Langford, and design engineer Jamie Serjeant. They take us on a tour of Occuity’s HQ in Reading in the UK, to learn about two of their devices, the PM1 Pachymeter and their non-invasive glucose metre Indigo. We even get a peak behind the scenes in the ‘Midnight Room’, their secret development lab.
We also hear from Jon Hirschtick who explains how Occuity uses PTC’s PTC’s CAD solution Onshape to create the intricate and visually striking designs they pride themselves on.

“We are on the brink of a robotic revolution. In a few years it will be possible to have a [robot] that is a reasonable member of a family or household”
The dream of robotics is to take on the mundane tasks of everyday life, so we can focus on what’s most important to us. And with developments in artificial intelligence happening at such a rapid pace, that future is drawing ever closer. So what’s needed to bring AI and robotics together in a way that’s truly transformational for humanity? When will we have our own Rosie The Robot from the Jetsons?
IT solutions company isento GmbH is opening robotics up to everybody with pib - their printable intelligent bot. Pib is a 3D printed robot with a humanoid face, moving arms and a torso - but the hope is that one day it’ll be so much more. We meet the visionary behind pib and CEO of isento GmbH, Jürgen Baier. In this episode he explores the features of pib, and how he’s enlisting the help of the global community to achieve isento’s bold ambitions for the project.
We also hear from Jon Hirschtick, who heads up PTC’s Onshape division. He explains the benefits of Onshape’s ease of use technology in isento’s mission to make pib accessible to all.

“You’ll park it at your house, drive it to the nearest airstrip, unfold your vehicle, take-off, fly 500km, land again, and drive to your final destination.”
Flying cars have long been the poster child for the future - a sign that we’ve reached an incredible milestone in technological advancement. But that vision of the future has been confined to science fiction for many decades - until now.
PAL-V is building the world’s first road-legal flying car, and it’s extremely close to liftoff. The aim is to make general aviation practical for everyday mobility. In this episode we sit in the driving seat of the stunning PAL-V Liberty, a car that flies like a gyroplane. We meet PAL-V’s marketing director, Joris Wolters, who explains the engineering that’s gone into developing the Liberty, and what the car is capable of. 
We also hear from Mark Lobo, who heads PTC’s Windchill product lifecycle management
Division. He explains how PAL-V uses the PLM solution to deal with its rapid growth and strict data compliance needs.

“Even on my 8th launch - still goosebumps. I mean, you realise that engineers can cry.”
Satellites are an essential part of keeping our modern lives running, allowing us to navigate, connect and observe the world from a phenomenal vantage point. But when a satellite is launched into space, it can take many months to get into position in order to start its mission. That was until D-Orbit changed the game.
Their satellite carrier ION optimises space operations by delivering satellites to their final destination in a matter of days, instead of months. D-Orbit is the world’s first space logistics company, and in this episode we find out how the company got started. We meet D-Orbit’s CTO Lorenzo Ferrario in the mission control centre, and hear stories of past launches when emotions run high amid the electric atmosphere.
We also hear from Brian Thompson, who heads up PTC’s CAD division. He explains how D-Orbit uses PTC’s CAD software CREO to model their bespoke satellites in a fast and efficient way.Find out more about D-Orbit here.

“Cupra is a brand born in the 21st century. We call ourselves unconventional challengers because we want to do things differently.”
If you think electric motorsport lacks emotion, prepare for an awakening. The passion pouring out of Cupra’s head of racing, coupled with the incredible sounds recorded in the driving seat of their championship racing car will show you why electric racing is earning its place in the mainstream.
Cupra Racing are pioneers in the field, developing the first ever electric touring racing car before there was even a race for them to compete in. But that’s all changed, and years later Cupra has won titles in multiple events, from Formula E, to Extreme E and the FIA eTouring World Cup. In this episode we head to the company’s factory in Barcelona where they produce, test and design their racing cars, and meet the man in charge of turning Cupra’s dreams into reality, Xavi Serra.
We also hear from Brian Thompson, who heads up PTC’s CAD division. He explains how Cupra uses PTC’s CAD software CREO to stay competitive on the track.
