Pro/ENGINEER

also known as PTC Creo, is a 3D computer-aided design (CAD) software developed by PTC (Parametric Technology Corporation). It is a powerful and comprehensive product design and engineering tool used for creating, analyzing, and simulating product designs in various industries such as manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods.

Pro/ENGINEER utilizes parametric modeling

allowing designers and engineers to create and modify 3D models by defining parameters and relationships between different components. This parametric approach enables the creation of robust and easily modifiable designs, providing flexibility throughout the product development process.

Key features of Pro/ENGINEER include parametric modeling, assembly modeling, finite element analysis (FEA), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), and product data management (PDM). The software supports the entire product development cycle, from concept and design to simulation and manufacturing.

Over time, PTC rebranded Pro/ENGINEER as PTC Creo, incorporating additional features and enhancements. PTC Creo offers a suite of applications, including Creo Parametric for 3D CAD, Creo Simulate for simulation and analysis, Creo Illustrate for technical illustrations, and more.

PTC Creo is widely used by engineers and designers to create complex product designs, improve collaboration among teams, and accelerate the product development process. It remains a significant player in the CAD and product design software market.
