Overall Satisfaction with PTC Creo

We use it to help students create prototypes and teach engineering and CAD skills in STEM.
  • Modeling.
  • Ability to make templates.
  • Rendering sometimes crashes.
  • Putting in backgrounds is difficult sometimes.
  • Ability to be innovative and cutting edge in technology.
  • Teach 3D modeling and CAD concepts to kids.
We were required by DoD to use this software, but we also like it because it is professional. Many people in the field use it and want kids to be familiar with professional software vs. things like TinkerCAD even though it is a good resource. We also had PC computers and worked well/were comparable with those.
I liked the training manuals I used to learn some, as I didn’t have CAD background in college or before this job. My coworkers were able to share with me what they learned in PTC training and I was able to get support online and through reading.

Would you buy PTC Creo again?

Yes

I know that it was great for us with our 3D printers and modeling. We made classroom prototypes with students but also used it to make classroom materials, solve problems in our organization, create images/models, etc. I also know many engineers who use this software. Overall we were able to tailor it to our 4th-6th grade students but would be great if there were some modifications that we could make for students.
