PTC Creo Interactive Surface Design Extension IIdelivers 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
