Mike Goetz

Senior Engineer, Augustine Die and Mold Inc.

I started my career using SolidWorks, then I switched to Pro/ENGINEER which is now Creo. Creo Parametric, in my opinion, is the best CAD software available. I have noticed recently that files created in Solidworks tend to have solid modeling issues and make it difficult to design to the solid models needed. The reputation and performance that Creo has definitely surpasses any other software on the market.

Josh Bendel

Owner, Automation Design

PTC Creo Parametric is more intuitive and there are more options. It is more of a direct input environment and it seems to be a bit more professional.

Robert Higbee

Mechanical Engineering Adjunct Professor at Penn State Harrisburg since 2012

I have seen a lot of Value Added Resellers in my day – some good some bad.  After working with the EAC team for the past several years, I can attest to their knowledge and dedication.  They are among the best of the best.  They have always gotten back to me promptly with the correct answers to help me get over or around any Creo speed bumps.

What is the latest version of Creo Parametric?

Creo 9.0 is the latest version released on May 4th, 2022.

What makes Creo unique?

Creo easily integrates with other systems developed by PTC. It connects to a family of solutions that aid product development. This includes Windchill for Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Mathcad for engineering calculations, and Arbortext for enterprise publishing.

Is Creo used in the industry?

Creo has been the standard product design and development software for parametric modeling, simulation/analysis, and product documentation for 30 years. Learning Creo is one way to gain an edge over competition in almost any industry.

What programming language is Creo written in?
