Creo is focused on helping you efficiently deliver high-quality designs. Check out what’s possible below and be sure to look at the full list of Creo’s capabilities.
Multi-CAD
Easily import, edit, and update models from any CAD system without losing design intent or wasting time on rework.
Simulation and analysis
Run structural, thermal, modal, and motion analysis directly in Creo to catch issues before they become costly mistakes.
Automated 2D to 3D conversion
Quickly convert 2D drawings into fully parametric 3D models and automate 2D drawing creation to save hours on legacy updates and client revisions.
Robust assembly management
Handle large assemblies with ease using interference checks and flexible assembly modeling tools.
Manufacturing prep
Prepare models for 3D printing and CNC machining with built-in tools for lattice structures, supports, and manufacturability checks.
Creo Design Essentials
From concept to manufacture, get all the essential capabilities to design and deliver with confidence.
Creo product suites
Creo Design Essentials gives you a powerful foundation for 3D CAD, delivering the core tools you need to design high-quality parts and assemblies with confidence. From there, you can explore our tailored suites to meet your needs: injection molding, real-time simulation, machining, and model-based definition. Get what matters most to your projects.
Injection molding
If you’re working with mold and die tooling, the Injection Molding Suite is for you. Automate the creation of complex tooling, lower costs, reduce rework, and minimize part defects. When using the Creo Tool Design Extension, you can take advantage of:
- Easy-to-use process driven UI
- Automated creation of parting line and parting surface geometry
- Automated creation of production drawings and deliverables
- Associative design and tooling updates
Accelerate the speed of your designs and maximize the quality of your injection molded parts with Creo.
Real-time simulation
When you want to speed up your design process with real-time feedback, you need Creo Simulation Live. Get immediate feedback early in the design process to resolve flaws early, lower product costs, increase quality, and validate design choices quickly. The Real-Time Simulation Suite includes:
- Instant results for structural, thermal, and modal simulations
- ANSYS-powered solvers for reliable analysis
Also looking for fluid analysis? You’re covered with Creo Simulation Live Advanced.
Utilize the Creo Real-Time Simulation Suite to drive reliable design and reduce physical prototypes.
High-speed machining
Reduce development time and manufacturing costs, while improving product quality with the Creo Machining Suite. The Creo High-Speed Milling extension provides:
- Integral CAD/CAM support
- Automated change propagation and associative toolpath updates
- Automated creation of manufacturing process documentation
- High-speed 3-axis milling powered by ModuleWorks
- Basic holemaking
Enable rapid turnaround and delivery of production mold, die, electrode, and prototype parts with the Creo Machining Suite.
Model-based design
When you need to adhere to industry standards, there’s nothing better than the Creo Model-Based Design Suite. With the Creo MBD suite, you can take advantage of the GD&T Advisor to optimize product design, save on development time, and deliver high-quality industry standard designs. With the MBD suite:
- Establish the 3D model as the source of truth
- Receive guided creation of GD&T in part models
- Validate against ASME and ISO GPS tolerance standards
Increase productivity, collaboration, and compliance with the Creo Model-Based Design Suite.
