Creo Overview
Creo delivers on a commitment to continuous CAD improvement and features powerful new technologies designed for the ever-evolving world of product design. Creo introduces breakthrough capabilities in the area of AI-driven Generative design.
Generative design
Generative design autonomously creates optimal CAD model designs from a set of requirements you specify. Both of Creo’s generative design solutions help you deliver high-quality, lower-cost, ready-to-manufacture products, all within the Creo design environment. Choose to adapt the results or use them as a final design.
Generative Topology Optimization (GTO)
Let generative design bring you the benefits of digital transformation. When you can rapidly explore innovative designs, you’re closer to cutting costs and improving quality and time-to-market. Faster exploration allows more in-depth examination of different combinations of materials and manufacturing processes, revealing solutions you may never have considered.
Generative Design Extension(GDX)
GDX allows you to simultaneously develop numerous design studies with a variety of materials and processes, both seamlessly within the Creo design environment, to enhance productivity.

Creo 10 updates include:
- New composites design and analysis tools to leverage composite materials, ensuring the strongest and lightest results possible.
- Improve your products with updated simulation-driven design and generative design.
- Enhanced additive and subtractive manufacturing improvements, making it easy for you to deliver high-quality manufacturable products.
- Improved design tools for cables and harness design to help you create and manage wiring harnesses.
- Enhancements to design for ergonomics that allow you to account for the range of movement, the field of vision, and the uniqueness of users.
- Improved productivity with updates to areas such as multi-body design, surfacing, and model tree management.
- Powerful model-based definition tools to provide greater clarity with less effort.
