PTC has launched version 9 of its Creo computer-aided design software with the promise of helping engineers deliver their best product designs in less time. Creo 9 includes core enhancements and advanced features that encourage innovation with emerging features, including generative design, real-time simulation and additive manufacturing (AM).

Brian Thompson, PTC’s divisional vice president and general manager of Creo, said: “Creo 9 is an important release, and our customers’ feedback played a big part in making that happen. We made core improvements like the divide surface capability and stronger design intent management to benefit our users, while also focusing on advanced technologies that transform product design — including simulation, generative design, and AM.

“Finally, to better support our users, we have strengthened Creo’s ergonomics capabilities. All these enhancements are about helping engineers get their best designs to market more quickly.”
