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 times 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.

Manufacturing-Centric Tools: :

  • Additive Manufacturing: Design for additive manufacturing with advanced lattice structures and build preparation tools.
  • Machining and CAM: Generate high-quality tool paths for CNC machining, including 5-axis machining.
  • Product Manufacturing Information (PMI): Create clear and concise manufacturing instructions directly within the 3D model.

Collaboration and Data Management: :

  • Cloud-Based Collaboration: Seamlessly collaborate with team members, regardless of location, using cloud-based design and data management solutions.
  • Interoperability: Import and export data in various formats, ensuring compatibility with other CAD systems and industry standards.

Real-World Applications

Creo 8 is being used by a wide range of industries to address complex design challenges and accelerate product development. Some of the key applications include:

  • Automotive: Designing lightweight and fuel-efficient vehicles.
  • Aerospace: Developing advanced aircraft and spacecraft.
  • Medical Devices: Creating innovative medical devices with precise tolerances.
  • Consumer Products: Designing stylish and functional consumer goods.

Innovative Technologies for the Future
