Each Creo 12 package builds onto the feature set of the preceding package—here’s how that all breaks down.

Creo 12 Design Advanced

This package includes everything in Creo 12 Design Essentials, plus:

  • Engineering notebooks: Powered by PTC Matchcad, easily document engineering calculations, perform analysis on parameters, and capture critical IP.
  • Prismatic and multi-surface milling: Specialized tools facilitate a seamless transition from product design to manufacturing.
  • Top-down design and concurrent engineering: Build out assembly skeletons so teams can work on different parts simultaneously, and when design intents change on the skeleton, everything automatically adapts.

Creo 12 Design Advanced Professional

This package includes everything in Creo 12 Design Essentials and Design Advanced, plus:

  • Additive manufacturing: Go from concept to design, to print, to check, all within the Creo interface with built-in production-ready surfaces.
  • Advanced surfacing: Take advantage of the benefits of parametric modeling and the flexibility of freeform surfacing to advance product designs.
  • Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T): Get expert guidance for GD&T applications and validation that you have applied it correctly.
  • Mold design and high-speed milling: Improve the efficiency and productivity of mold designs and tooling by using high-speed machining tool paths.
  • Tolerance analysis: Analyze and document geometric tolerances directly on 3D CAD models.

Creo 12 Design Engineering

This package includes everything in all previous design packages, plus:

  • Advanced multi-CAD collaboration: Easily collaborate with teams that use other CAD solutions, thanks to Creo Unite technology.
  • Simulation and fatigue advisor: Easily integrate simulation into the design process with engineering-specific tools.
  • Production machining: Advanced NC programming capabilities across milling, turning, and wire EDM.

Creo 12 Design Engineering Professional

This is the most comprehensive package that includes all the features previously mentioned, as well as:

  • Advanced simulation: Easily complete near-real-time simulation to find and fix issues with liquid or gas flows before investing in prototypes.
  • Complete machining: Multi-axis machining, full NC programming, and extensive tool libraries.
  • Generative topology optimization: Optimize parametric geometry by defining objectives and constraints and then using generative design to drive your model toward those specific requirements.
  • Metal printing: Design and print tools for all major metal printers on the market.
  • Options modeler: Create and validate module 3D products.
  • Routed systems design: Automate piping and cabling as well as clearance and creepage analysis.
