PTC Creo Interactive Surface Design Extension II delivers the ultimate integration of 3D design and engineering. By combining the power of parametric modeling with the flexibility of free- form surfacing, you can now create complex, freeform curves and surfaces directly within a single, intuitive and interactive design environment.
PTC Creo Interactive Surface Design Extension II combines industry-leading free-form surfacing tools within the modeling environment of PTC. Designers and engineers can create conceptual designs and free-form surfaces while having the ability to model the specific engineered components essential in every successful product. This way they can not only utilize the power of free-form surfacing, but also to leverage rich functionality – such as behavioral modeling, drafting, simulation, and manufacturing – from within a single application, making PTC Creo the ultimate solution for product.
Key Benefits![]()
- Build free-form geometry at any point in the design, using as many or as few constraints as desired, for maximum design flexibility
- Focus on adding value to your design, not on transferring and interpreting data
- Easy to learn and use to quickly define curves and surfaces, resulting in a faster ROI
- Full associativity allows surfaces and curves to instantly adapt to design changes, reducing product development time
Capabilities and Specifications
Curve creation
- Reuse curves from PTC Creo Sketch in Style
