New in Creo
PTC’s Creo is a parametric 3D CAD system that helps you deliver your best designs in less time. Manufacturers rely on Creo to get the most value from their CAD system, with fully integrated design, simulation, and manufacturing capabilities. Creo delivers model-based product development, real-time simulation, generative design, and streamlined workflows for composites and additive and subtractive manufacturing. Easy-to-use core modeling tools help improve productivity every day. Creo is fully associative, meaning changes are automatically propagated across the value chain.

You will also learn about PTC’s SaaS offering, Creo+, with all the capabilities of Creo 12, plus cloud-based collaboration and license management tools.
New features and functionality
Updated Creo functionality includes innovative CAD tools for designing composites, conducting real-time simulation, and streamlining manufacturing. Creo also continues to expand model-based definition (MBD) capabilities helping to speed delivery of your best designs.
Composites design and manufacture
Creo 12 delivers market-leading fidelity and accuracy in advanced composite structure design, with innovative tools that enable engineers to efficiently design, simulate, and manufacture composite parts. Creo 12 provides faster, more accurate creation of solid geometry from composite layers and can create an associative manufacturing reference model. You can now merge plies from different zones, expanding your conceptual composite design capabilities. With new industry-leading tools, Creo 12 delivers the world’s most robust, scalable composite structure design capabilities.
Model-based definition
With a model-centric approach, Creo ensures that all product information is accurately defined within the 3D model, providing the right information to the right person at the right time. Creo 12 offers improved file export capability, including 3D PDF and STEP AP242, Edition 3. GD&T Advisor now supports datum reference features and intent surfaces, and annotations are now easier to reuse. With PTC’s Creo 12, engineers can use model-based techniques to deliver their best designs in less time.
Simulation-driven design and generative design
Creo simulation-driven design helps engineers iterate and optimize designs early in the design process, with award-winning generative design and real-time Ansys simulation tools. With Creo 12, engineers can leverage AI-powered generative design for thermal optimization studies, in addition to structural and modal analysis. Creo 12 has updated Ansys solvers (25R1) with simplified and improved results for both Creo Simulation Live and Creo Ansys Simulation. With powerful simulation driven design tools, Creo helps engineers deliver their best designs in less time.
Manufacturing—additive and subtractive
Creo is the ideal choice for designing for additive and subtractive manufacturing. With Creo 12, engineers can now use additive manufacturing to design conformal cooling channels in injection-molded tools, for optimal results. Additive manufacturing also has enhanced capabilities for connecting and customizing lattices, and subtractive manufacturing is now better than ever with undercut high-speed milling capabilities. Creo 12 helps engineers deliver their best manufacturing designs in less time.
