Try Out Creo 4.0 CAD Software Early. Here's How




In Creo 4.0, due later this year, we're adding lots of new capabilities including design for additive manufacturing, model-based definition, and much more. Vice President of Product Management Paul Sagar says this is "one of the biggest releases we've had in a very long time."

But you don't have to believe him. After all, it's part of his job to say nice things about our CAD software.
