Creo Parametric - Comprehensive 3D CAD Software for Advanced Product Design.pdf
- 1. PTC.com Page 1 of 6 | PTC Creo Parametric Data Sheet Where breakthrough products begin Engineering departments face countless challenges as they strive to create breakthrough products. They must manage exacting technical processes, as well as the rapid flow of information across diverse development teams. In the past, companies seeking CAD benefits could opt for tools that focused on ease-of-use, yet lacked depth and process breadth. Or, they could choose broader solutions that fell short on usability. With PTC Creo Parametric, companies get both a simple and powerful solution, to create great products without compromise. PTC Creo Parametric, helps you quickly deliver the highest quality, most accurate digital models. With its seamless Web connectivity, it provides product teams with access to the resources, information and capabilities they need – from conceptual design and analysis to tooling development and machining. In addition, high-fidelity digital models have full associativity, so that product changes made anywhere can update deliverables everywhere. That’s what it takes to achieve the digital product confidence needed before investing significant capital in sourcing, manufacturing capacity and volume production.

- 2. PTC.com Page 2 of 6 | PTC Creo Parametric Data Sheet Though most discrete manufacturers invest in computer-aided design and other technologies for product development, their investments do not always generate the desired returns. Lack of interoperability, capability shortcomings, poor usability and discontinuities across the concept-design- manufacturing continuum often hamper engineering teams in their effort to develop high-quality digital product models more efficiently. Deep and broad capabilities allow engineers to design to customer needs, not to the limitations of software. The software creates seamless digital product information throughout all engineering processes, with associative CAD, CAM and CAE applications spanning conceptual design to NC toolpath generation. In addition, it excels in multi-CAD environments and guarantees upward compatibility of data from earlier Pro/ENGINEER® releases. Fast, secure collaboration means more productivity and less risk. PTC Creo Parametric offers instant connectivity to valuable resources via an embedded Web browser. As part of PTC’s integral Product Development System (PDS), the software provides a seamless user experience with PTC Windchill® . Never Compromise Based on the proven technology of Pro/ENGINEER – chosen by over 600,000 designers and engineers at nearly 19,000 companies worldwide – PTC Creo Parametric offers the newest, most innovative 3D CAD capabilities for your detailed design process. There’s simply no better value, quality or capability – anywhere. As a design professional, you can’t risk having CAD tools that compromise your product, process or productivity. With the software, you never compromise because you have the exact tools you need to get the entire job done – accurately and quickly.
