Creo

Best 3D Parametric in the market

Pros

I find it very easy to use UDF-User Defined FeatureFamily TableShrinkwrap. We have seamlessly integrated TEAMCENTER without any issues regarding PLM.

Cons

We have no complaints as in our company, we handle all manufacturing processes in-house. When creating different models, we find family tables invaluably helpful. They simplify our lives by allowing easy insertion of images in the models, such as caution or warning signs in our machinery designs. We have seamlessly integrated Teamcenter/PLM, which works flawlessly.

Very robust mid-priced package let down by unintuitive quirks.

Pros

The software is very robust and ensures proper part design with minimal failures. It requires a specific workflow, but once learned, updating parts becomes easier without breaking anything.

Cons

The CAD package's restrictive nature and certain quirks in part and body modeling can make it feel unintuitive and confusing.

Creo Review

Pros

Among CAD software, Creo is widely recognized and used by many OEMs. It offers a broad range of features for 3D part modeling, and for those familiar with the software, it has a simple interface.

Cons

As someone new to 3D modeling, I needed training to fully understand the software's capabilities. Occasionally, the software crashes which results in hours of lost work.

CAD personified

Pros

Creo allows me to view not just complete assemblies but also individual parts within assemblies in 3D. I also like the ability to break down components into their smallest entities, which facilitates lifecycle management. Importing and exporting are also unproblematic.

Cons

Creo can be a bit too much for beginners due to its robust features. Licensing fees are on the higher side, but many argue that it's worth the investment.

Successes with Creo

Pros

Creo is an excellent resource for efficiently and accurately completing complex designs. Its machine design features simplify the work process.

Cons

Initially, the tool isn't the most user-friendly, but once you become familiar with its navigation and functions, it becomes easy to increase your knowledge and use the tool to its maximum potential.

Creo by Wade

Pros

My favorite modules in Creo are modeling, assembly, sheet metal and drawings.

Cons

Although the error messages can be cryptic, you eventually become accustomed to them.

PTC CREO is the best and easy to learn 3D CAD/CAM software.

Pros

The parametric modeling feature allows users to make design changes on the go eventually eliminating the need to start from scratch. Learning the software is both easy and enjoyable.

Cons

When compared to its competition, Creo's 2D abilities are not enough. CAM features could also benefit from improvements.

Terrible and should be avoided

Pros

I haven't found any pros. There are too many bugs and I don't consider it suitable for professional use.

Cons

The functionality of the software is terrible compared to other CAD packages. The Windchill data management system is defective and confusing, making it prone to data loss during system crashes. Basic functions like repeating the last command or undoing actions are missing.

Very Wide 3D Modules

Pros

Among 3D model design software, Creo stands out, especially for students. It provides a friendly and smooth experience for students starting their education.

Cons

I've noticed a lag in rendering, and I would say that the rendering performance is not as efficient as other 3D modules.

great 3D mechanical design software

Pros

Creo is a great design tool, although not the absolute best. What I like is that it's easier to use compared to other design software. When dealing with complex work, Creo helps save time. The rendering capabilities are good but not exceptional. The user interface is great with clear and easy grouping.

Cons

Creo software excels in many areas and saves time due to its ease of use, but the analysis capabilities in Creo are not enough. To obtain accurate results, it's necessary to rely on another software for analysis purposes.
