THE COMPETITION.

• It still works. Why replace it?

• We’re too busy.
• You’ll burst the budget.
• No.

Okay, maybe the fourth one isn’t an excuse, but it usually accompanies the top
three. Too bad because the product development landscape is changing fast.
When you adopt the most current versions of Creo, you get:

• Tomorrow’s solutions today—game-changing tools like augmented reality,

geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, and real-time simulation.

• The latest security features to avoid cyber-attacks.

• Updated interfaces that are easier to use and make your work easier.

HONESTLY ASSESS YOUR CAD ENVIRONMENT

REND E RI NG
Can you create photorealistic geometry? For those
in consumer products, seeing a model under good
lighting and in everyday settings shouldn’t be an
afterthought. [Available in all packages.]

EFFECTIVE DESIGN GU IDANCE

Are you confident you’re making the best decisions
possible? Your software should provide real-time
feedback on your design decisions as you make them—
freeing you up to try out more ideas and iterate faster.
[Available as an add-on to all packages.]

Rendering tools add life-like materials, lighting, and backgrounds

to models.

Creo Simulation Live provides real-time feedback as you make

design changes.

Key: DE=Design Essentials, DA=Design Advanced, DA+=Design Advanced Plus.

 FAST E NE R S
Work with screws, nuts, bolts, washers, pins,
and dowels? A library of common fasteners and
automatic, intelligent tracking, and placement can
help you avoid errors (and tedium) while building
complex models. [Available in all packages.]
Creo IFX includes a large, customizable library of fasteners.

A D DI T I V E MA NUFACT URI NG
Are you fully designing for additive manufacturing?
Your system should allow you to prepare parts,
including parametrically driven lattices; optimize
tray placement; and integrate directly with industry-
leading 3D printers. [Available in DA+.]
GO TO BROCHURE >>
Design, optimize, validate, and run a print check in Creo.
Works with polymers and metals.
GD &T A DV I SO R
Adopting a model-based engineering environment?
Use your CAD system to ensure your designs comply
with GD&T standards throughout the application
process—speeding up your work and preventing
costly errors. [Available in DA+.]
GO TO DATASHEET >>
Creo GD&T Advisor Extension takes the tedium and
inaccuracies out of geometric dimensioning & tolerancing.
 AU GME NT E D RE A LI T Y
Can you summon a fully immersive 3D tour of
your work with a single click? Augmented reality
experiences should be easy to generate and share.
Plus, they should be secure from unwelcome
viewers. [Available in all packages.]

See why Harvard Business Review says, “Every organization

needs an augmented reality strategy.”

ADVANCED ASSEMBLY
Are teams working concurrently to build your
complex products? Top-down structures and
skeletons ensure that anybody can create and modify
components and subassemblies without stepping on
others’ work. [Available in DA, DA+.]

Creo Advanced Assembly Extension ensures the whole design

team stays up to date.
