In the fast-changing world of product design, thousands of leading engineering and manufacturing companies rely on Creo to build better products faster. Engineers can drive innovation in their design process with embedded simulation and can quickly turn ideas into smart, connected products with IoT-driven design, all while collaborating in real-time with stakeholders around the world using integrated AR experiences.
“PTC is leading a renaissance in design. As companies work to bring their products to life digitally, they’re turning to Creo for real-time simulation, design for additive manufacturing, and more immersive, efficient, and secure collaboration using cloud-based augmented reality,” said Brian Thompson, SVP and general manager, CAD, PTC. “For 30 years we’ve been a leader in the CAD market and have helped our customers differentiate in their own markets. Now we’re enabling customers to innovate further with new capabilities that support the new frontier of industrial design, and we are doing it all within the Creo platform.”
Leverage Real-Time Simulation
The
recently
announced Creo Simulation Live offering gives real-time feedback on
design decisions as they are made, allowing for simulation-driven
design.
Creo
Simulation Live is a fast, easy-to-use tool that’s fully integrated
into the Creo modeling environment and gives results in seconds as it
runs in the background. Designers can now iterate faster, discover
problems earlier, streamline their workflow, cut costs, generate more
options, and get better products to market faster.
Collaborate with Augmented Reality
AR is improving the way
engineers design and collaborate. This cloud-based technology offers an
efficient way for engineers to share design information and collaborate
securely with colleagues, suppliers, customers, and manufacturing
partners. With Creo AR Design Share integrated into every seat of Creo,
designers and manufacturers can iterate faster, make fewer prototypes,
and engage in more meaningful design reviews. Creo 6.0 includes new
capabilities to make AR even more valuable with model and permissions
management for up to 10 experiences and the ability to view models at
full scale using smartphones, tablets, and HoloLens. AR experiences can
now be easily accessed and launched using links, ThingMarks™, and QR
codes.
Design for Additive Manufacturing
Creo delivers the tools
and connections needed to drive additive manufacturing, enabling an even
broader array of manufacturing processes to be supported based on
demand. Users can design, optimize, validate, and print check without
leaving Creo, enabling them to reduce overall process time, tedium, and
errors. Creo 6.0 delivers even greater flexibility for designers by
enabling them to build stochastic foam or conformal lattices, formula
driven lattices, such as Gyroids, and define custom lattices using Creo
geometry. Users now have the ability to analyze and optimize build
orientation, enabling them to reduce print time, minimize support
structures, or maximize tray utilization. Creo 6.0 also introduces
expanded support for 3MF.
Improve Productivity
Creo 6.0 provides increased usability,
including an improved UI for a more efficient user experience with new
mini-toolbars for creating and modifying features, modernized feature
dashboards, and enhancements to the model tree. Other enhancements
include improvements to advanced framework and intelligent fastener
extensions, model-based definition, cabling, and core modeling.
