Creo, PTC’s design software, enables companies to unlock potential within their organizations

Creo, PTC’s new family of design software, helps companies address their most pressing product development challenges to enable them to rapidly innovate and compete more effectively in the marketplace. Today’s organizations are struggling with global engineering teams and processes, efficiently incorporating corporate acquisitions and working with a multitude of customers and suppliers. In addition, the chronic problems with 3D CAD technologies- usability, interoperability, technology lock-in and assembly management- make these challenges even harder to overcome.

Creo delivers breakthrough technologies that address the unsolved 2D and 3D CAD problems. Creo enables everyone in the enterprise to contribute to product development, makes people more efficient and helps companies share data better both internally and externally. Creo enables companies to unlock potential within their organizations by unleashing creativity, facilitating teamwork, increasing efficiency and ultimately realizing value.

Creo 1.0 provides the first set of apps which deliver on PTC’s vision and strategy to redefine the MCAD industry and enable companies to unlock potential within their organizations.

Creo product design apps allow everyone in the enterprise to use the tools that work best for them so that they can contribute more efficiently to the product development process. Creo also provides an unprecedented level of interoperability – data moves seamlessly between apps and modeling modes while retaining design intent – such that companies can share data more easily with internal and external parties. By delivering new apps with seamless interoperability, Creo enables companies to make dramatic improvements in their engineering, manufacturing and service processes.

Creo is a scalable suite of interoperable, integrated applications, spanning the entire spectrum of product development. Creo product design apps allow everyone in the enterprise to use the tools that work best for them so that they can contribute fully to the product development process. In addition to Creo Parametric, several standalone apps deliver new capabilities for 2D and 3D CAD modeling, analysis and visualization. Creo also provides an unprecedented level of interoperability to ensure data can be easily shared between teams both internally and externally. A few of the apps are highlighted below:

• Creo Parametric - Create 3D designs with powerful, adaptive 3D parametric modeling
• Creo Direct - Create and edit 3D geometry using fast, flexible direct modeling
• Creo Simulate - Analyze structural and thermal properties
• Creo Layout - Easily create 2D conceptual engineering designs
• Creo Schematics - Create 2D diagrams of piping and cabling systems designs
• Creo View MCAD - Visualize mechanical CAD information for faster design reviews
• Creo View ECAD - Quickly view and analyze ECAD information
• Creo Sketch - Easily create 2D freehand sketches
• Creo Illustrate - Reuse 3D CAD data to generate rich, interactive 3D technical illustrations
