create assemblies quickly and accurately

Detailed Documentation including 2D and 3D Drawings

• Create 2D and 3D drawings according to international standards,
including ASME, ISO and JIS
• Create an associative bill-of-material (BOM) and associated balloon
notes automatically
• Automate the creation of drawings with templates

Technical Surfacing

• Create complex freeform shapes faster with Freestyle features
• Develop complex surface geometry using sweeps, blends, extends,
offsets, and a variety of other specialized features
• Trim/extend surfaces using tools such as extrude, revolve, blend, and sweep
• Perform surface operations such as copy, merge, extend, and transform
• Define complex surface geometry explicitly

Freestyle Surfacing

• Quickly create freeform shapes and surfaces using sub-divisional
modeling capabilities
• High-quality, parameterized surfaces can be immediately reused in a 3D
detailed design process
• Multilevel subdivisional modeling for more control over the surface,
enabling finer detailing without altering the existing shape

Revolutionary Warp Technology

• Make global deformations of selected geometry in 3D
• Dynamically scale, stretch, bend and twist models
• Apply Warp to geometry imported from other CAD tools

Sheetmetal Modeling

• Create walls, bends, punches, notches, forms, and reliefs using the
streamlined user interface
• Automatically generate flat patterns from 3D geometry
• Use a variety of bend allowance calculations to create flat
patterns of the designs

Digital Human Modeling

• Insert and manipulate a digital human inside your CAD model with PTC
Creo Manikin Lite capabilities
• Gain valuable insight about interactions between your product and people
who manufacture, use and service the product earlier in the design cycle

Weld modeling and Documentation

• Define joining requirements
• Extract valuable information from the model, such as mass properties,
clearances, interferences, and cost data
• Easily produce complete 2D weld documentation

Analysis Features
