It seems that 51% of concept design work is now done using electronic based systems, including 31% already using 3D data. But, this also means 49% of concept designs still begin as hand-drawn sketches and in engineering notebooks. Although paper based design work is a justifiable method for working on concept designs, the limitations are becoming more pronounced. As technology advances and more companies than ever before work on a global scale, it could be time to make the switch.
Part of the Creo 2.0 Parametric upgrade means users can now clearly define 3D annotations as part of their design framework. It's now simple to include and modify 3D annotations on 3D models, capturing design intent as annotation elements or notes.
Want to know how impressive the performance and capabilities of Creo Parametric 2.0 really are? Updates to Olaf Corten’s Utilities (OCUS) measurement benchmark now means you can capture key performance data of Creo Parametric 2.0 and Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 on your systems, to see how they compare. You can then compile your results on the OCUS website, to help other users get a complete comparisson Creo's performance potential.
Whether you're unsure about the benefits of Creo 2.0 or just want to get the low-down on all the new features and integrations, we’re pleased to bring you all the details of the upcoming Creo 2.0 live webinar. It's brought to you by PTC's Creo experts and the live webinar is being held June 12, 2pm (BST). Why not sign-up for the Creo now.
