After teasing with sneak peaks and rumours for weeks, PTC finally set out the main features that will be available in Creo 4.0 when it launched the product last week. 

Creo Parametric 4.0 has many updates that help users to produce more complex parts much more easily. The main update which allows for greater complexity in design is the Freestyle Tree. The Freestyle Tree features are all designed to make the manipulation and adjustment of 3D shapes much easier.

The ability of the model-based approach (turning 2D drawings into 3D renderings) to provide a detailed insight into a finished product is unparalleled. This approach helps engineering firms to secure future business by delivering their best products on time.

The release of Creo 4.0 is imminent, and the upgrade promises to be the best available for modern engineering businesses. However, what will actually be included in the upgrade still remains a mystery. What will be the benefits to buying Creo 4.0 and what has changed from Creo 3.0 to now?

Having all of your model information all in one place may seem like an impossible dream. However some engineers are starting to realise the advantages of Model-Based Definition (MBD) and use it as the basis for their businesses. With MBD, not only can engineers keep all of their model designs and annotations in one place, but start to realise the full value of their 3D assets.

The release of Creo Parametric 4.0 is imminent. You may be watching closely, ready to buy and install it, or you might be wondering whether it is right software for you. To try and help you make your decision, we’ve rounded up 7 advantages of the upgrade.

If you’ve ever experienced that feeling during a meeting when someone passes off their idea as your own, you’ll know just how frustrating it can be. Before you know it, they’re being patted on the back and any attempt you could make to clarify the idea’s origin will likely be dismissed as sour grapes.
