This year, PROSTEP is celebrating an anniversary that is not very common in the relatively young PLM (Product Life Cycle) industry. 30 years ago, PROSTEP’s initial focus was on topics such as STEP and CAD data exchange which evolved to include expertise in vendor neutral PLM integration. Today, Digital Twins, Digital Threads, Embedded Software, Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are also central to PROSTEP’s offerings and R&D investments. At its core, PROSTEP has always been about the central challenge of strengthening our customers’ ability to innovate by improving their digital continuity.

The DART Racing Team at the Technical University of Darmstadt, which is sponsored by PROSTEP, has successfully completed this year’s racing series. The team took part in the three Formula Student competitions, held in Italy, the Czech Republic and Germany, with its much improved pi2023 electric racing car. Its best finish was 2nd place at FS Czech 2023, which was held at the Autodrom Most race track.

In order to maintain vendor neutrality, you often have to be able to multi-task. PROSTEP recently sponsored three major PLM events in the US, using its Mars Rover demonstrator to present complex PLM topics. Events included Dassault Systèmes’ COExperience 2023 in Miami, PTC LiveWorx in Boston and Siemens Realize Live 2023 in Las Vegas.
