With a variety of CAD software options available, choosing the right one can be a daunting task. Selecting the right CAD software can literally make or break your product design process. Let’s take a look at the main differences between two famous CAD systems:
Creo is a CAD software application developed by PTC (Parametric Technology Corporation). It is used to design and model 3D parts and assemblies and create 2D drawings. Autodesk is a software company that provides a range of software applications for design, engineering, and entertainment. Some of their products include AutoCAD, 3ds Max, and Fusion 360.
Both Creo and Autodesk offer a wide range of features for 3D modeling, design, and visualisation. However, there are some differences between the two.
For example, Creo is known for its focus on parametric modeling, which allows users to define relationships between design elements and quickly update their models when changes are made.
Autodesk software, on the other hand, tends to have a greater focus on direct modeling, which allows users to directly manipulate the geometry of a model without being constrained by parametric relationships.
Creo is often used in the manufacturing and industrial design industries, while Autodesk has a wider range of applications, including architecture, construction, and media and entertainment.
PTC Creo manipulates large assemblies. It offers a variety of tools and features to help users manage complex assemblies, such as:
Additionally, Creo also have the ability to manage and organise large data sets with options like large assembly mode and lightweight mode, which helps users work with large assemblies with better performance.
Are you tired of using a CAD software that just doesn’t meet your needs? Switch to PTC Creo and experience the difference! With its advanced modeling capabilities, intuitive interface, and wide range of industry-specific tools, PTC Creo offers everything that other CAD software does and more. From mechanical engineering to aerospace and beyond, PTC Creo has the tools you need to bring your ideas to life. Don’t settle for less, upgrade to PTC Creo today and see the results for yourself

Another month in lockdown has past, but we are filled with positivity as the vaccination rollout is suppressing the virus infection in the UK. This will be great for businesses as well as our mental well-being as we look forward to things opening up in Easter and beyond.
This month, we have reached the end of the financial year and end of the quarter. I’m really proud to announce that this has been an excellent quarter for PLM Central as we’ve obtained more than 160% of our quarterly sales target for PTC.
We have to thank all our customers who have trusted in our products, support & services.
Just to highlight a few of them, we confirmed a large Digital Transformation order from a UK based “Flexographic printing machine maker”, who will be taking advantage of our support services, as well as our products (more information to be announced soon!). They will be fully utilising our Engineering & Manufacturing solutions, which you can learn more about in the like provided. And a first for PLMc – A major design house recently purchased our Creo Ansys Driven Simulation (CSL) software.
In terms of activities, our premier Engineering Calculation software PTC MathCad has had an upgrade to PTC MathCad Prime 7.0 . To celebrate, we hosted an excellent webinar exploring all the new features, which received fantastic feedback and engagement. Watch the full webinar here.
