Creo 12 delivers major upgrades across design, simulation, and manufacturing—enabling teams to work faster and collaborate more effectively. Key enhancements include industry-leading composite capabilities, expanded Model-Based Definition (MBD), improved real-time simulation, and streamlined manufacturing workflows. It also integrates Creo models with material data in PTC’s Windchill® PLM system.
Creo 12 delivers customer-driven usability and productivity enhancements such as feature presets, assemblies driven from multi-body parts, and powerful updates to sheet metal design and the advanced surfacing module, that help streamline your daily work. Model tree management has never been easier, and a new divided surfaces function allows for even better analysis and definition. Sketcher, multibody, Freestyle and ECAD have all been improved to simplify and speed up your everyday work.
Creo 12 delivers the world’s most robust, scalable composite structure design capabilities with innovative tools that enable engineers to efficiently design, simulate, and manufacture composite parts. You will realize faster, more accurate creation of solid geometry from composite layers and can create an associative manufacturing reference model. You can also now merge plies from different zones, expanding your conceptual composite design capabilities.
With Creo 12, engineers can use model-based techniques to deliver the right information to the right person at the right time. The program ensures that all product information is accurately defined within the 3D model and offers improved file export capability, including 3D PDF and STEP AP242, edition 3. Additionally, GD&T Advisor now supports Datum Reference Features and intent surfaces, and annotations are now easier to re-use.
Thermal physics have now been added to award-winning AI-driven generative design capabilities in Creo. Automatic contact creation in Ansys real-time simulation allows teams to iterate and optimize designs even faster.
Award-winning generative design and real-time Ansys simulation tools help engineers iterate and optimize designs early in the design process. With Creo 12, engineers can leverage AI- powered generative design for thermal optimization studies, in addition to structural and modal analysis. Creo 12 has also updated Ansys solvers (25R1) with simplified and improved results for both Creo Simulation Live and Creo Ansys Simulation.
As always, Creo is a fully integrated solution, driving the digital thread across every part of your organization. Design, simulation, and manufacturing processes are all linked together through the 3D CAD model to ensure that any changes are made downstream throughout the entire product development process. And engineers can now use additive manufacturing with Creo 12 to design conformal cooling channels in injection molded tools, for optimal results. Additive also has enhanced capabilities for connecting and customizing lattices, and subtractive manufacturing is now better than ever with undercut high-speed milling capabilities.
Creo 12 brings Creo’s strength in assembly design to cable harnesses, simplifying collaboration and reducing the complexity of harness assemblies.
