3D Design

3D design uses computer-aided design software for modeling and technical documentation. It is used by designers and engineers to model and visualize real-world products and elements to study and optimize its design before it goes into the manufacturing process. What traditionally was done using manual drafting can now be replaced with CAD software connected seamlessly with emerging technologies to that allow designers and engineers to iterate faster on designs, reduce costs by forgoing costing prototyping costs and materials waste and improve overall product quality.

Types of 3D Design

3D modeling using 3D CAD

3D product design is the creation of a product in a virtual environment in which it has three dimensions (height, width, and depth). The result is a digital prototype of your product, one you can explore in detail and run further studies on.

Generative design

AI-driven generative design from Creo automatically allows you to quickly produce solutions optimized for your loads and constraints, using traditional and additive manufacturing methods.

CAM

Computer Aided Manufacturing software like Creo NC and Tool Design solutions give you everything you need to achieve the highest quality, highest precision machining in the fastest possible time. Now you can handle every aspect of the machine process from mold/cast design and advanced NC to 3D simulation and verification.

How does Creo support 3D design?

Creo is the easy-to-learn 3D CAD solution accelerating innovation from product design to manufacturing and beyond. It seamlessly combines powerful, proven functionality with new technologies. You will iterate faster, reduce costs and improve product quality. Product development moves quickly, and only Creo delivers the transformative tools you need to build competitive advantage and gain market share.

The vast list of capabilities that support the 3D design process include:

3D part & assembly design

Automated 2D drawing creation & update

Assembly management & performance tools

Plastic part design

Parametric & freestyle surfacing in Creo

Surfacing lets you create and manipulate surfaces and curves on a model. It also enables you to manipulate curve tangents directly on the screen. Use the Surfacing area of Help to learn about creating, changing, and manipulating surfaces. Surfacing Help shows you how to use surfacing applications to work with the curves and surfaces of parametric, nonparametric, and imported models. In addition, you will learn how to alter the form and shape of curves, quilts, facets, and solids by transforming, scaling, rotating, stretching, tapering, bending, or twisting the geometry.

Here are some of the Surfacing Modules:
