A few months ago, PTC asked Creo users to submit their best work for our Product Design Contest. In return, we saw entries covering everything from a space-age racing pod to a multi-axis drilling fixture for bowling balls.

We’ve featured the winner and runners up in previous blog posts, now take a look at some of the designs from finalists who made the most of their 3D CAD software to create unique, elegant, and sophisticated designs.

Cooling Assembly designed by Bruno Santos

In building this design for a cooling assembly, Santos relied on Creo’s

capabilities in assembly management and sheet metal design.

Orbital Sander designed by Xiyin Yao

Yao says he found his inspiration for this Orbital Sander in Nike’s approach to

design. The orbital sander is a hard-working power tool with an ergonomic

and appealing design.

in Creo meant Lin could focus on creativity, and designing forms and

surfaces – instead of on manipulating the software.

Using the sophisticated design tools in Creo, Muthirulappan designed this

low-cost metal 3D printer. When asked what was especially useful in Creo,

he wrote ‘everything!’
