PTC Launches Creo 12 to Accelerate Design Speed, Productivity, and Collaboration

• Productivity improvements help accelerate design workflows and collaboration
• Faster composite design and manufacturing while maintaining high precision and quality
• Advanced simulation and AI-driven generative design support earlier product optimization
• Significantly expanded cable harness design capabilities improve design processes for electrification initiatives

BOSTON, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) today announced the latest version of its Creo^® computer-aided design (CAD) solution, built to help manufacturers deliver their best designs in less time. Creo 12 introduces hundreds of powerful enhancements to its design, simulation, and manufacturing capabilities, enabling teams to work smarter, get more done, and collaborate more effectively.

• Improved Usability & Productivity: Creo 12 delivers user-requested features like feature presets, assemblies driven from multi-body parts, and powerful updates to sheet metal design and the advanced surfacing module.
• Advanced Composites Design & Manufacturing: New and improved tools help accelerate composites development without compromising quality, enabling market-leading precision and performance in designing and producing composite structures.
• Enhanced AI-Driven Generative Design: Thermal physics have now been added to award-winning AI-driven generative design capabilities in Creo. Automatic contact creation in Ansys real-time simulation allows teams to iterate and optimize designs even faster.
• Design for Electrification: Creo 12 brings Creo's strength in assembly design to cable harnesses, simplifying collaboration and reducing the complexity of harness assemblies.

Creo 12 also introduces new links between Creo models and engineering material data in PTC's Windchill^® product lifecycle management (PLM) solution. This supports sustainability initiatives by enabling better visibility into material choices and their associated environmental impacts, including carbon footprint.

The latest version of Creo+^®, a software-as-a-service (SaaS) version of Creo that offers cloud-enabled collaboration and entitlement tools, is also now available.
