Artificial intelligence is beginning to change how engineers interact with CAD software, but where can it deliver practical value today? In this on-demand webinar, Paul Sagar, VP of CAD Product Management at PTC, joins Michael Alba of engineering.com to discuss how AI is being integrated into Creo and what that evolution means for design engineers and engineering leaders.
The conversation moves beyond the hype surrounding artificial intelligence to explore how AI in CAD can address real engineering challenges, such as accelerating access to technical knowledge, reducing troubleshooting time, supporting design validation, and automating repetitive engineering work.
What you’ll learn:
- How Creo AI is progressing from ADVISE and ASSIST to AUTOMATE
- How engineers can use natural-language questions to access product guidance, best practices, and troubleshooting information
- How AI can interrogate CAD models, extract engineering information, generate reports, and support design validation
- Where AI-powered CAD automation can reduce repetitive work and help engineers make better-informed decisions
- Why engineers remain in control when reviewing and approving AI-generated design changes
- How clean, structured product data and documented engineering knowledge can prepare organizations for broader AI adoption
Paul and Michael also discuss the accuracy and trustworthiness of AI-generated results, whether AI will replace engineers, and how CAD, PLM, ERP, and other enterprise systems could become more connected through AI. Throughout the webinar, one principle remains clear: AI should serve as an engineering assistant, while the engineer remains the final decision-maker.
