The Third Angle PTC

"When it comes to creating a home… we’re creating future memories for people.”
Did you know that buildings account for 39% of all global energy related carbon emissions? From the energy used in central heating to the materials used in their construction, our homes are a huge contributor to our carbon footprint. So how do we create sustainable homes for the future? Architectural firm Warehome, based in East London, is trying to answer that question. 
In this episode, Founder Joe Stuart tells us about how Warehome specialises in the German design approach  “Passivhaus” and takes us on a tour of his home (also the first house that Warehome built and designed.) Find out how they’re using carefully considered building materials such as timber to make the building process more sustainable, and designing the space so there is no need for a central heating system. He also explains how important it is to design a space that is personalised and a home, and how virtual reality can help to deliver that for clients. 
We also hear from Brian Thompson, who heads up PTC’s CAD division. He explains why PTC’s CAD software CREO is such an important part of Warehome’s drive towards sustainability. Warehome is also supported by PTC strategic partner Inneo UK.

“A lot of people think about RealWear as giving superpowers to frontline workers.”
Technology has become integrated into every aspect of the way we work. But what if you work in a job where your hands are tied doing other things, like operating machinery or climbing to the top of a radio tower? Checking an iPad, or dialling into Zoom becomes a little more challenging!
And that’s where Assisted Reality and RealWear’s incredible suite of head wearables comes in. Realwear devices are easy to clip on to hard hats, baseball caps or PPE and provide an easy-to-use interface similar to a smartphone which is powered entirely by voice. This provides a range of workers with tools to access additional information and enhance their work without them having to down tools. For example, construction workers are able to see the temperatures of electric cables in thermal mode, and paramedics have the ability to link up with specialist doctors to advise them on the scene, all hands-free.
To find out about this tech our reporter Joel Shupack visited RealWear’s HQ in Vancouver, Washington, to meet chairman and CEO Andrew Crosstowski (Chrostowski). We also hear from Brian Thompson, who heads up PTC’s CAD division. He explains why PTC’s CAD software CREO has been vital to RealWear.

“We’ve seen a drastic change in the medical landscape. We see that people have a switch in their relationship with their healthcare professionals.”
Walking down the street, you’ll notice many people have swatched their classic Casio for something a little bit… Smarter. Interest in smart devices and wearable tech has grown rapidly since the pandemic, as our relationship with our health has changed and evolved.
Withings is a company developing some of the most technically advanced health trackers on the market. But it’s not all about smartwatches and fitness straps - Withings’ smart scales are state-of-the-art, and their pioneering urine monitor is one-of-a-kind.

“We’re extremely well positioned to make charging your car as easy as charging your laptop.”
It wasn’t always easy owning an electric car, with the constant fear of running out of juice weighing on your mind. But those fears are fast vanishing, with unbelievable growth and innovation in charging technology. 
So as many countries prepare for a large-scale transition to electric, and with petrol and diesel cars soon to become a thing of the past, are we prepared for our electric future? Thanks to companies like EVBox, the future is bright. In this episode we visit EVBox’s HQ in Amsterdam to find out just how easy their award winning EV chargers are to use. We learn how they're speeding up charge times with their game-changing tech. And we hear about their successes and global growth.
We also hear from Jon Hirschtick who explains how EVBox uses PTC’s product lifecycle management and quality management solution Arena.

“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 CAD solution Onshape to create the intricate and visually striking designs they pride themselves on.
