Creo 5.0 introduces the Creo Additive Manufacturing Plus Extension for Materialise, which extends these capabilities to metal parts, allowing customers to print production-grade parts directly from Creo. By streamlining the process and reducing the need to recreate models, more time can be spent focused on what is really important, the design. This helps users save time and accelerate innovation by enabling creation of optimized and efficient parts.Ĭreo enables users to design, optimize, print check, and additively manufacture parts without the need for multiple pieces of software.

Creo Topology Optimization Extension automatically creates optimized designs based on a defined set of objectives and constraints, unfettered by existing designs and thought processes.

The physical design of products is often limited by existing designs and practices. “Creo 5.0 is yet another example of PTC’s continued innovation and ability to meet customer needs.” “PTC is on the leading edge of some of the hottest technologies today with the Internet of Things (IoT) and augmented reality (AR), but it has not forgotten its roots in CAD, instead transforming this business by infusing its leading Creo software with new technologies and capabilities,” said John Mackrell, chairman, CIMdata. Creo 5.0 introduces capabilities in the areas of topology optimization, additive and subtractive manufacturing, computational fluid dynamics, and CAM. With Creo 5.0, concepts can be transformed into smart, connected products, bridging the physical and digital worlds with augmented reality (AR) capabilities in every seat. Creo 5.0 introduces five new capabilities for product design and offers new productivity enhancements.

PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) announced Creo 5.0, the latest release of its Creo 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software that enables users to go from concept to manufacturing in one design environment.
