CREO / Pro E

As a foundational pillar in mechanical engineering, PTC’s Pro/ENGINEER (now Creo) initiated a profound transformation in the manufacturing and product development worlds upon its release in 1987. It single-handedly democratized parametric, feature-based solid modeling by migrating the technology from disconnected 2D drafting and explicit modeling systems to fully associative design on powerful workstations. This pivotal shift dismantled previous design revision and data integrity barriers, placing integrated 3D modeling tools into the hands of countless engineers globally.
