PTC Creo is a versatile CAD software that is widely used by engineering departments in various industries. Users have reported using PTC Creo for a wide range of purposes, including modeling and drawing products, designing manufacturing machine layouts, and creating 2D drawings. With its parametric software nature, PTC Creo offers flexibility in creating part models, allowing users to easily design both simple and complex mechanical engineering products.

One of the key advantages of PTC Creo is its ability to handle large assembly files with 1000+ parts smoothly, making it ideal for projects that involve complex geometries. Clients who use PTC Creo are often described as forward-thinking and creative, utilizing the software as a productivity tool rather than just a CAD system. In addition to its industrial applications, PTC Creo is also used in educational settings to teach engineering and CAD skills to students, helping them create prototypes and gain hands-on experience in STEM fields. Overall, PTC Creo has proven to be a valuable tool for product design and development, reducing lead time in development projects and enabling efficient collaboration through integration with PLM software.

It is one of the best in industry CAD software. Our organization uses PTC creo as CAD software. The primary uses of this software in our organization [are] creating 3D models of our product & creating detailed drawings. [PTC] Creo is only used by our design department which has 30 plus members. As we have [a] large variety of products in our organization, [PTC] Creo makes it easy to design & create detailed drawings & their storage with integrated PLM software.

We used PTC Creo for teaching undergraduate students part modeling, and assembly. This product varied from department to department. Started with basics of using a CAD software and basic approaches for modeling, then creating simple geometry, and finally taught best approach to deal complex geometries. Further, taught how to use assemblies to bring different part models to create a product. For example, a dove-tail joint was initial assignment and car scissor lift was more complex and large assembly that was taught using PTC Creo.

I use ptc creo for modelling of 3d mechanical engineering products. Creo helped me to create from simple model to complex products. Its is very flexible software out ther le present in world. It is very easy to change your view from 3d view to 2d view or vice versa.

The engineering department at each plant uses [PTC Creo] to model/draw products and manufacturing machine designs. We use PTC Creo for everything from small brackets on the production line machines to entire machine assemblies, forging dies, grinding wheel design, and even product drawings and quality lab gauging and fixtures. We also use PTC Creo with Windchill to organize all our models, drawings, and assemblies company-wide.

PTC Creo is one of many tools we use to support our clients. When we have a choice, we prefer to use PTC Creo. Clients using PTC Creo are usually forward thinking and more creative thinking than most. They made the decision to implement PTC Creo as a productivity tool, not as a CAD system. That philosophy aligns with ours.

PTC Creo has been used as our main work software for our Transportation business unit. We use it in Siemens offshore projects, for creating 3D models as well as 2D drawings. PTC Creo is a parametric software, so it gives us flexibility in creating part models. The software used by us is custom-built by PTC for our needs, which contains specialized tools for Siemens projects. Siemens' Creo is way different from the normal PTC Creo in interface and usage.

PTC Creo's main advantage is its ability to work well (remain smooth) with large assembly files with 1000+ parts. I had to "pick up" PTC Creo for one project, in which we knew that we were going to have an absurd amount of part files within the assembly. From my experience, this seems to be one of the only main advantages of Creo over other CAD programs. The software does allow one to get mechanical/product development work done, but I've never found the user interface to be intuitive.

Our mechanical engineering department uses PTC Creo to design mechanical components of electronic products. For us, a lot of the time this means an enclosure, but we also design mechanisms as well. The bulk of our designs will be molded plastic parts and we occasionally will design with sheet metal or other cast metal materials as well.
