Creo capabilities
Creo provides a solid foundation of CAD capabilities to meet a wide variety of engineering needs. PTC offers several CAD packages and numerous extensions to meet your specific design requirements. Explore the breadth and depth of Creo capabilities available to you and your team.
Creo enables the latest in design
Software as a service
Creo+ combines the power and proven functionality of Creo, delivered as a SaaS product. Creo+ provides innovative cloud-based tools to enhance collaboration for engineers and streamlined license management for CAD administrators. Creo+ is compatible with on-premises versions of Creo for better interaction between engineering, manufacturing, and suppliers.
Generative design
Generative design helps you deliver high-quality, lower-cost, manufacturable solutions, with benefits from engineering through manufacturing and service. Improve engineering productivity and time to market with rapid exploration of innovative CAD models, all within the Creo environment. Deliver your best designs in less time with Creo generative design.
Additive manufacturing
Innovate faster with Creo additive manufacturing. Creo helps you reduce time to market, production cost, and development expense. Design, optimize, and print—all within the Creo design environment, avoiding the time-consuming, error-ridden hassle of multiple software packages. Connect easily to numerous printers and online service bureaus. Improve schedule, costs, and quality with Creo additive manufacturing.
Ansys-powered simulation
When you want real-time feedback as you design, choose Creo Simulation Live powered by Ansys. Just define a few simple conditions and the software does the rest, presenting results in real time as you edit or create features. That’s not just convenience and speed, that’s design guidance as a normal part of your workflow.
When you want a comprehensive analysis of your model while you design, choose Creo Ansys Simulation or Creo Ansys Simulation Advanced. While both are built for design refinement and validation, Creo Ansys Simulation Advanced has the added benefit of supporting use cases like nonlinear contact and nonlinear materials. Creo Ansys Simulation Advanced also allows you to run combined structural and thermal studies.
