Case Study: MCB Engineering Consulting achieves 75% faster engineering calculations with PTC Mathcad from PTC

MCB Cuts Engineering Calculation Time by 75% Using PTC Mathcad

MCB Engineering Consulting, LLC, a mechanical engineering firm with 35 years’ experience, needed a way to create accurate, reusable calculations, explore more "what‑if" scenarios, share clear documentation with other professionals, and avoid time‑intensive programming. To meet these goals they turned to PTC and its engineering calculation software, PTC Mathcad.

PTC implemented PTC Mathcad as a live, textbook‑style calculation tool that handles advanced math and statistics, unit management, and on‑the‑fly algorithm changes. As a result, PTC Mathcad cut MCB’s engineering calculation time by 75%, improved clarity in communications with clients and students, enabled reuse of prior work for additional development savings, and reduced errors through reliable unit analysis.
