Creo’s Top Class Core Features:

PTC’s Creo is a global leader in Product Design 3D CAD software. Read how Creo helps re-invent how we design, create, and innovate better products with our broad range of functionality:

• Modeling & Design: Build better products faster by accelerating product innovation, reusing the best of your design, and replacing assumptions with facts. Go from the earliest phases of product design to a smart, connected product with Creo.
• Simulation & Analysis: With simulation, you can analyze and validate the performance of your 3D virtual prototypes, allowing you to iterate more quickly and design with greater confidence while saving money and time.
• Augmented Reality: With Creo AR Design Share integrated into every seat of Creo, companies are changing their product design process to take advantage of this cloud-based technology. With Creo AR, you can iterate faster, make fewer prototypes, and conduct more meaningful design reviews.
• Smart Connected Design: When the power of CAD and IoT come together, your team can access a feedback loop of how your products are performing in the field, enabling you to design more reliable products.
• Additive Manufacturing: With Creo additive manufacturing, you can develop innovative designs, optimize, and print to a variety of printers with ease, all within Creo.
• Model-Based Definition: A model-based definition is an approach to creating 3D models so that they effectively contain all the data needed to define a product.
