Case Study: Lovejoy achieves 50% faster time-to-market with PTC's Creo and Mathcad

Lovejoy Uses Creo and PTC Mathcad to Bring Products to Market 50% Faster

Lovejoy, a century-old leader in flexible coupling design, partnered with PTC to modernize its product development. Facing the need to make CAD a core part of its infrastructure, shorten design cycles, and speed up the bid process, Lovejoy adopted PTC solutions including Creo and PTC Mathcad to support top-down design and faster customization.

PTC implemented Creo’s top-down design tools, skeleton models and structural checks, while PTC Mathcad handled engineering calculations to streamline customization and standards compliance. As a result, standard designs that took 6–8 weeks now ship in 2 weeks, some designs that required 2 days are completed in hours, and Requests for Quotes are generated 50–75% faster—giving Lovejoy a head start on detailed design once bids are won.
