| Real-time simulation, AR and additive manufacturing enhancements
| Cloud-based AR enabling immersive collaboration
| Real-time feedback for design decisions

PTC announced on the 1st the release of the latest version of Creo, a CAD platform that enables 3D design and manufacturing innovation within an integrated environment.

Creo 6.0 includes new real-time simulation functionality, expanded augmented reality (AR) and additive manufacturing capabilities, along with various productivity enhancement factors.

Creo is being used by thousands of engineering and manufacturing companies worldwide to effectively respond to rapidly changing product design environments. Engineers can innovate the design process through embedded simulation, and can rapidly implement ideas into smart connected products through IoT-based design. Additionally, using Creo equipped with AR experiences, stakeholders around the world can collaborate in real-time.

Through collaboration with Ansys, the recently announced Creo Simulation Live supports simulation-based design and provides real-time feedback on design decisions. This tool, fully integrated into the Creo modeling environment, delivers results within seconds while running in the background.

Through this, design teams can iterate faster, discover problems earlier, simplify workflows, reduce costs, and generate more options, enabling them to bring better products to market more quickly.

AR improves the way engineers design and collaborate. It shares design information cloud-based and enables safe and efficient collaboration with colleagues, suppliers, customers, and manufacturing partners.

Through the AR Design Share feature applied across the entire Creo platform, design and manufacturing firms can rapidly iterate, minimize prototyping, and streamline the design review process.

Creo 6.0 provides over 10 AR experiences related to modeling and license management, and supports viewing models at full scale on smartphones, tablets, and HoloLens. Additionally, users can easily access AR experiences through ThingMarks and QR codes.

Creo supports a wide range of manufacturing processes by providing tools and connectivity solutions necessary for additive manufacturing design. Users can complete all processes of design, optimization, validation, and print checking within the platform without leaving Creo, thereby reducing overall process time and lowering the possibility of errors.

Additionally, enhanced flexibility enables the construction of stochastic foam and regular lattices, formula-based lattices such as Gyroids, and supports the definition of custom lattices using Creo geometry.

Users can analyze and optimize build direction to reduce print time, minimize support structures while maximizing tray utilization. Along with this, Creo 6.0 has expanded support for 3MF.

Creo 6.0 has improved usability through UI enhancements for enhanced user experience, mini toolbars for shape creation and editing, dashboard optimization, and model tree improvements. Features such as intelligent framework and intelligent extensions, model-based definition, cabling, and core modeling have also been strengthened.

Domestic customers can explore the key features of Creo 6.0 through PTC Korea's platinum partners Digitech, E3PS, and Forvis (distributor).

Brian Thompson, Senior Vice President and General Manager of PTC's CAD Division, stated, "There is growing demand for immersive collaboration capabilities consisting of real-time simulation, additive manufacturing functionality, and cloud-based AR," adding, "Through Creo 6.0, we will present a new horizon in design work by providing all the features necessary for industrial design innovation within the integrated Creo platform."

Meanwhile, from June 10 to 13, PTC's diverse CAD experience advancements can be experienced at the digital transformation conference LiveWorx, to be held in Boston, USA.
