[edit] History
Samuel Petrovich Geisberg previously worked at Prime Computer, Computervision (CV) and Applicon. Geisberg founded PTC as a competing CAD software company, introducing Pro/ENGINEER in 1985. It was one of the first parametric solid modlelers for PC's, introduced shortly after T-Flex, another PC solid modeller.
Once an initial version of Pro/ENGINEER was developed, the company received venture capital funding from Charles River Associates and Steve Walske became the CEO.
Parametric modelling caused a major paradigm shift in the CAD/CAM industry.
