The day CAD changed forever

Do you remember the first time you heard about parametric modeling? It was more than likely that you heard about PTC’s Pro/ENGINEER at the same time.

Today, PTC, the company that first innovated parametric and direct modeling, launched another breakthrough: CreoTM, a new family of design software.

Thousands of people from around the world heard about Creo today. PTC showed how this new technology could solve problems that have long plagued companies using CAD software. Specifically, difficulties with usability, interoperability, technology lock-in, and assembly management.

By removing these frustrations, Creo unlocks potential within any organization by unleashing creativity, facilitating teamwork, increasing efficiency, and ultimately bringing more value.

And PTC has launched a new web site devoted to helping you discover CreoTM, http://creo.ptc.com. And it’s all here: Product-related information, discussions about today’s industry pains, opinions from press and industry influencers, and interviews with the people behind-the-scenes.

You’ll find daily updates, too. So visit the site regularly or, better yet, subscribe to the ever changing content.

We’d love to hear your thoughts. Did you attend the event? Leave us a comment, and let’s start the discussion—tell us what you think and help us as we redefine the mechanical CAD market.

I will have to agree that today was a landmark day for the CAD Industry. I won't know for sure how the experience of CREO will be until I get my hands on it, but the ideas and examples presented during the Virtual Event where very impressive.

I am once again excited about CAD. I was getting very worried about PTC's lack of innovation and direction with Pro/ENGINEER and now I know why. CREO must have been in development for some time now and I can only imagine that many resources where focused on the future direction.

I hope CREO delivers on it's promise because if it does, it's going to be an exciting time for the CAD Industry.

Sorry for my ignorance. Is CreoTM the latest version of ProEngineer?

After using Solidworks for the last seven years I am slowly shifting towards ProEng, but will concentrate on the latest software if possible.

Cheers

creo is the new family of design software that's made up of 3 elements.

  • Pro/ENGINEER, which is now Creo Elements/Pro
  • CoCreate, which is now Creo Elements/Direct and
  • ProductView, which is now Creo Elements/View

You can get the full skinny here. There was a rather elaborate event this morning in Boston, MA that unveiled Project Lightning as creo. I can share the link to the webcast reply when it's available.
