Creo Additive Manufacturing Extension
Creo Additive Manufacturing Extension Overview
The Creo Additive Manufacturing Extension puts powerful lattice creation and 3D print-prep tools directly into Creo so you and/or your team can design, optimize, and prepare additive parts without leaving the CAD environment. It’s ideal for engineers and manufacturers looking for lighter, stronger components, faster iteration cycles, and streamlined 3D printing workflows in both prototyping and production.
The highlights:
- Parametric lattices (2.5D and 3D)
- True B-rep geometry, not faceted meshes
- Automated print tray setup & nesting
- Broad printer connectivity & formats (3MF, STL, AMF/CLI)
By unifying lattice design, validation, and print preparation in one environment, the Creo Additive Manufacturing Extension reduces handoffs and rework, cuts down on material usage and mass, and shortens lead times – helping you deliver innovative high-performing designs in less time.
All licenses must be operated within the same country they were purchased. If you need to procure a global license for your organization, please contact us to purchase.
The Creo Additive Manufacturing Extension includes:
- Creation and simulation-based optimization of 2.5D and 3D parametric lattices
- Full spectrum of cellular structures (beam-based, formula-driven, custom-cell type, stochastic, Delaunay-based)
- Maintain full B-rep lattice geometry for high-fidelity simulation
- Edge recognition & dangling beam removal
- Create, modify, manage, and save print tray assemblies
- Automated positioning & nesting in print tray assemblies
- Define the optimal orientation for printing
- Multiple Export options: 3MF, STL, AMF, CLI
- Save & reuse print jobs for consistent builds
- Material/time print estimates
- Integrated workflows – no external tools
