Introduction
You take any version of Creo and it has never disappointed your expectations as promised! When Creo 7 is already winning the hearts of the designers across the world; PTC has launched its latest upgrade- Creo 8 on 14th April 2021.
In brief – Creo is the 3D CAD solution that helps you accelerate product innovation so you can build better products faster. Easy-to-learn Creo seamlessly takes you from the earliest phases of product design to manufacturing and beyond. ~ PTC
What’s new to expect from Creo 8
The main enhancements in Creo 8 are :
- Enhanced functionality with hole features, sheet metal, geodesic curves, routed systems, and more.
- New Creo ANSYS Design Optimization capabilities.
- Interface enhancements for Part and Assembly Design.
- Enhanced Creo Additive Manufacturing and Multi-body Design Enhancements.
- Updated Render Studio.
- Creo AR Design Share enhancements.
Creo 8 helps you design better products faster.
USABILITY & PRODUCTIVITY :
- Model tree enhancements (quilts, custom groups, side by-side tree) mean you can capture and group design items for easier understanding of model structure.
- Snapshot features enable historical review, so you can show or copy quilts / bodies at selected time in model history.
- Hole feature improvements give you enhanced tapped, threaded holes, and the placement of several holes with a single sketch.
- Creo now has the ability to create multiple flat walls in sheet metal to a common definition, the ability to create geodesic curves, and also offers enhancements to routed systems.
- Inseparable assemblies give you easier component management of purchased parts.
- Render Studio offers the option to leverage supported GPUs
MBD & DETAILING :
- Symbol modernization, including streamlined workflows, semantic definitions and symbol gallery.
- GD & T Advisor support for assemblies and improved workflows for dimension creation.
- Advanced surface collection capabilities for standalone annotations.
- Enhanced detailing capabilities, with new sketching tools to convey design intent more easily.
EXPANSION OF OPTIMIZATION AND SIMULATION :
- Automatic envelope, draft-handling, and radius constraint for generative design.
- Steady-state flow analysis as part of Creo Simulation Live.
- Improved mesh and deflection control in Creo Ansys Simulation.
ADDITIVE & SUBTRACTIVE MANUFACTURING :
- Simulation-driven lattices eliminate the manual process of adding variability to lattices. Simulation results from CSL and Creo Simulate can now be used to optimize the variability of the lattices. This capability is accessible via the same lattice feature UI and workflow.
- Tray and build direction enhancements for printability.
- 5-axis high-speed machining capabilities with easy-to-use simultaneous 5-axis and 3+2 axis collision-free tool paths.
Creo 8 gives you the access to combine powerful, proven functionality with new technologies such as generative design, augmented reality, real-time simulation, additive manufacturing and the IoT.
