What’s New in: Creo 11 and Creo+

Design for Composites:

With Creo 11, you can leverage composite materials to ensure the strongest and lightest results possible. Creo 11 allows you to:

• Explore expanded functionality for transitions, laminate section, and draping simulation, making it easier to manage and visualize plies
• Apply conceptual top-down composite design using zone-based regions and zone stack recipes to automatically create plies
• Get more flexibility during composite design and preparation for manufacturing as well as better clarity on the ply book drawing
• Increase composite product quality through support of leading laser projection formats

Model-Based Definition and digital thread:

Creo 11 gives you numerous powerful MBD tools that provide great clarity with less effort:

• Quickly and easily organize data in simple tables. Get access to flat-to-screen or annotation planes and support for parameter callouts
• Enhance search precision and efficiency with semantic query for inheritance models
• GD&T Advisor has been enhanced with support for ISO 22081 for indication of general tolerances and combined simplified hole callouts for ISO models
• Creo 11 supports export of STEP AP242, edition 3. This ISO standard for data exchange enables seamless sharing of 3D models along with associated semantic product manufacturing information. (Available in an upcoming maintenance release)

Additive and Subtractive Manufacturing:

• Create complex lattices with a new lattice command to connect two or more separate lattices
• Get additional flexibility with expanded capabilities for stochastic lattices and the ability to adjust Simplified lattices using Warp
• High-Speed Milling now supports 4-Axis rotary roughing and finishing toolpaths
• Additional Area turning capabilities have been added to 4-Axis
