Introducing Creo+
PTC’s Creo+ is a parametric 3D CAD system with the power and proven functionality of Creo, delivered via SaaS. In addition to all the capabilities of Creo, Creo+ includes enhanced collaboration tools to enable multiple team members to review, explore, and edit part design—in real time. CAD administrators will appreciate the cloud-based desktop tools for license management, deployment, and telemetry services. Creo+ is compatible with on-premises versions of Creo for better interaction with engineering colleagues and suppliers. Get the best of both worlds—proven Creo technology, combined with cloud-connected collaboration and license management tools.
What does SaaS mean for CAD?
CAD Software as a Service (SaaS) is a model for licensing, delivery, and management of engineering CAD software for improved accessibility, scalability, collaboration, and security. In many instances, SaaS also enhances existing software capabilities and functionality.
While in-office communication software like customer relationship management (CRM) and human resource management (HRM) have embraced the SaaS model, CAD SaaS is just reaching its inflection point, with widespread adoption expected in the coming years. PTC is well positioned to help customers when they are ready to make the transition to SaaS with cloud-based CAD and PLM solutions.
Features of Creo+
Real-time collaboration
Creo+ features cloud-based collaboration tools that enable multiple people, both inside and outside of your organization, real-time access to review, explore, and edit assembly design all at once. Changes are automatically synchronized across all users, ensuring that everyone is working on the latest design. This collaboration improves communication and enhances innovation throughout the product design lifecycle.
Simplified CAD administration
PTC Control Center helps you reduce the time and effort of license management, configuration management, and deployment. Deliver required licenses to groups and users efficiently, and at scale. Creo+ is always up to date, and automatic software updates ensure that all users are on the same version and have access to the latest improvements. PTC Control Center also provides rich, centralized telemetry to better understand how your software is being used.
All the benefits of Creo
Easy-to-learn Creo+ uses a model-based approach to seamlessly take you from the earliest phases of product design to manufacturing and beyond. With innovative technologies, including generative design, real-time simulation, advanced manufacturing, IIoT, and augmented reality, Creo+ helps you iterate faster, reduce costs, and improve product quality.
