PTC Creo 3.0 M090 + HelpCenter Full Multilanguage PTC Creo provides product design professionals with the most robust, scalable 3D product design toolset in the industry. And PTC Creo 3.0 continues to deliver greater power and more flexibility, to support the acceleration of your product development process. PTC Introduces PTC Creo 3.0 with Unite Technology, Delivering Unparalleled Multi-CAD Data Handling Capabilities Enabling customers to work with and consolidate data from any CAD source; providing new tools to foster innovation in concept development; and making everyday design tasks easier PTC Introduces PTC Creo 3.0 NEEDHAM, MA – June 16, 2014 – PTC (Nasdaq: PTC) today announced the latest release of its PTC Creo® revolutionary 3D product design software. With PTC Creo 3.0, PTC introduces new UniteTM technology which significantly enhances the ability to use CAD files from a variety of systems directly in PTC Creo. PTC Creo 3.0 also empowers innovation through more powerful, seamlessly integrated concept design tools ensuring efforts undertaken in concept design can be fully reused in the detailed design process. Key productivity enhancements within the release further add to customers’ ability to focus on higher levels of innovation and product quality. “With PTC Creo 3.0, we continue to deliver on the PTC strategy. Our ground breaking Unite technology addresses the data and process-related challenges of CAD consolidation. By enabling designers to convert data ‘as needed, when needed’, and only converting the data that requires modification, organizations can save a tremendous amount of effort and cost,” said Michael Campbell, Executive Vice President CAD Segment, PTC. “In situations where development teams need to collaborate across CAD formats, Unite technology enables designers to create and protect design intent between PTC Creo and other CAD data. This both significantly reduces the efforts needed to maintain design integrity and enables collaboration to take place earlier and more often in the design process.” “With Unite technology, richer and truly integrated concept design tools, and a continued emphasis on day-day productivity gains, this new release empowers our customers to bring greater efficiency to their product development process,” continued Campbell. Unite Technology Unite technology in PTC Creo 3.0 enables CAD data of varying formats to be used directly in the PTC Creo ParametricTM, Creo DirectTM, Creo SimulateTM, and Creo Options ModelerTM apps. As a result, this release enables significant efficiencies to be achieved when consolidating multiple CAD systems onto PTC Creo, as well as when collaborating with others using different CAD tools. These efficiencies enable improvements in on-time delivery, product quality and desirability by allowing design teams to spend more time innovating and less time on non-value add tasks such as recreating design intent and redundant file management. How Unite Technology supports more effective CAD Consolidation: Easily reuse existing CAD data as is, in its current format, with no need for a costly upfront migration Convert existing legacy data to PTC Creo easily, on demand, and only when modifications are actually needed No need to convert entire assemblies to modify individual parts, simply convert parts as changes are required How Unite Technology supports more effective CAD Collaboration: Open SolidWorks®, CATIA® and NXTM files directly in PTC Creo without the need for additional software Import SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, Solid Edge® and Autodesk® Inventor® files into PTC Creo without the need for additional software Enable higher levels of concurrent engineering between the product development teams and suppliers/partners/customers by allowing designers to quickly and easily incorporate CAD data created in other systems earlier in the process, create design intent across CAD formats and, as new versions of the non-PTC Creo data are updated in the assembly, ensure that any design intent build between the original part and the PTC Creo parts are protected when the part is updated. Support on-time delivery by ensuring that consistency and integrity are maintained between in-house and outsourced design data over the course of product development Promote the reuse and sharing of data Eliminate the need to manage many secondary formats, and significantly reduce the need to export data in neutral formats. Data can be shared in customer/supplier’s native format
