Easily import 3D files with PTC Creo
Engineers and designers often need to import 3D CAD data from one engineering application into another. They may receive 3D data from suppliers, other in-house teams, and even clients. Importing 3D via IGES and STEP formats is widespread as these formats can be created and read by most CAD systems.
Unfortunately, few CAD systems allow you to modify the models once imported because the model will lack design intent or design history.
PTC Creo offers powerful, reliable, and easy-to-use modeling tools that you can use to import, view, repair, and export 3D CAD files.

Plus, you can use it to drive major changes and modifications to the STEP 3D CAD models. You don't have to know how the model was built or what CAD system created it.

Why importing 3D files and PTC Creo go together so well?
With PTC Creo, design engineers can easily import 3D CAD data and edit it using a direct modeling approach that doesn't sacrifice the original design intent. Engineers collaborate more effectively and easily work with other third-party or legacy CAD data files. Whether you are at the initial stages of conceptualizing a design, trying to simplify your product geometry for CAE analyses, or handling late-stage design changes, PTC Creo saves time and helps you hit your project deadlines.
