If you’ve ever used Creo (or before that, Pro/Engineer), you’ll know it has never previously supported multibody modelling techniques. Instead, it’s the system’s multibody capabilities. The first area of Creo I want to cover is not a flashy new optimisation tool, or an additive manufacturing-related update, or some new cloud offering. So, shall we dive in and take a look at what PTC is now providing in Creo 7? Multibody Modelling Long-term Creo stalwarts, meanwhile, remain committed to the system and are enthusiastically adopting its newer offerings. In many cases, it’s proven more suited to their current work, due to product complexity, organisational complexity, or a combination of the two. We’ve seen users from among our own readership either re-adopt it or use it to replace mainstream offerings that they have outgrown. That work has paid off: Creo is a system that is experiencing a rebirth. It offered a redesigned user experience and an openness to third-party tools to supplement its own internal technologies.įast-forward a decade and we now have Creo 7 – a system that amply demonstrates how a company can continue to mature a robust toolset and make smart partnerships (with companies such as Ansys and Luxion), rather than attempting to reinvent the wheel.

But PTC soon rallied, launching a rebranded set of tools as Creo back in 2010.Ĭreo brought together the core of Pro/Engineer with some smart tools from CoCreate (namely, direct modelling). At one stage, it looked like its best years might be behind it, thanks to the explosion of lower cost systems such as Solidworks, Inventor et al. Since it launched Pro/Engineer, the company’s toolset has evolved. It introduced the idea that we should be able to parametrically edit our models and incorporate our engineering knowledge into our engineering data, as it was built. PTC took high-cost, specialist software and made it easier to use. If you’ve been involved in 3D design and engineering software at any point in the last twenty years, you’ll probably know that PTC is the company that kicked off the whole mainstream market for parametric 3D. With Creo 7, PTC amply demonstrates its skill at adding compelling new features to an already robust toolset and using smart partnerships to extend its capabilities even further.
