Powerful parametric design
Precise modeling, rapid variation, and efficient reuse.
Creo — Smart 3D CAD Design
PTC's Creo is a powerful 3D CAD software with parametric modeling, generative design, integrated simulation, and AI-driven design — helping businesses accelerate product innovation.
Why choose Creo?
Creo delivers a unified parametric / topology / freestyle design environment, combined with integrated simulation tools (Creo Simulation Live) and additive manufacturing capabilities.
Tight integration with Windchill PLM keeps CAD data consistent throughout the entire product lifecycle — from concept to manufacturing and maintenance.
With advanced modules (Creo+, Creo Ansys Simulation, Creo Generative Design, Creo Flow Analysis), Creo becomes a versatile platform spanning mechanical design through multiphysics analysis.

Frequently asked questions
Does Creo run on macOS?
Creo officially supports Windows. On macOS, NEAX recommends Creo+ (cloud-based) or a Parallels/VM solution on a sufficiently powerful Mac.
How does Creo differ from SolidWorks, NX, or CATIA?
Creo stands out with flexible 'history-free + history-based' parametric modeling, built-in generative design, native multiphysics simulation, and the strongest Windchill PLM integration on the market.
How does NEAX provide Creo training?
NEAX offers a training path from Essentials, Advanced Assembly, Surfacing, and Simulation through Generative Design — combining theory with real projects in Vietnam.
