Introduction

Creo (PRO/E) is a CAD design software package launched by PTC Corporation in October 2010. Creo is a new CAD design software package that integrates the parameterization technology of PTC's three software Pro/Engineer, direct modeling technology of CoCreate, and 3D visualization technology of ProductView. It is the first product launched by PTC's Lightning Plan.

Features

As a member of the PTC Lightning Program, Creo has three major characteristics: interoperability, openness, and ease of use. In the product lifecycle, different users have different needs for product development. Unlike other solutions, CREO aims to eliminate decades of unresolved issues in the CAD industry:

·Solve major unresolved issues in the field of mechanical CAD, including basic usability, interoperability, and assembly management;

·Adopting a new approach to implementing solutions (based on PTC's unique technology and resources);

·Provide a set of scalable, interoperable, open, and easy-to-use mechanical design applications;

·Provide timely and appropriate solutions for each participant in the design process.

Creo is a scalable suite that integrates multiple interoperable applications, covering the entire product development field. Creo's product design application enables everyone in the enterprise to use the most suitable tools, so they can fully participate in the product development process. In addition to Creo Parametric, there are multiple independent applications that provide new functionality in 2D and 3D CAD modeling, analysis, and visualization. Creo also provides unprecedented interoperability, ensuring easy data sharing between internal and external teams.

Significance

Creo means innovation in Latin. The launch of Creo is aimed at solving the four major challenges that plague manufacturing enterprises in applying CAD software. CAD software has been in use for decades, and 3D software has also emerged for more than 20 years, indicating that the technology and market are gradually maturing. However, manufacturing enterprises still face four core issues in CAD application:

Ease of Use

Although CAD software has gradually matured in technology, its operation is still very complex and the level of humanization needs to be improved.

Interoperability

Different design software modeling methods vary, including feature modeling, intuitive modeling, etc., and two-dimensional design is still widely used. But these software are relatively independent and operate in completely different ways. For customers, they cannot have both fish and bear's paw.

Data conversion

This issue remains a major problem that plagues the application of CAD software. Some manufacturers attempt to lock users in through the standards of graphic files, resulting in high data conversion costs for users.

Configuration requirements

Due to differences in customer needs, complex configurations often result in significantly extended product delivery times.

The launch of Creo is precisely to fundamentally solve the core problems faced by these manufacturing enterprises in CAD applications, so as to truly unleash their innovative capabilities, help enterprises improve their research and development collaboration level, and truly improve the efficiency of CAD applications, creating value for enterprises.
