Creo Parametric 3D CAD/CAM Solution
Product design software
for engineering teams in modern industry
Creo Parametric is parametric 3D CAD software for product and mechanical design, assemblies, 2D drawings, MBD, simulation, and manufacturing workflows. It helps engineering teams design, validate, and prepare manufacturing data in a structured way.
Creo Parametric for precise, reliable design
Creo Parametric helps engineering teams clearly control design intent. When model dimensions or conditions change, related information can update throughout the design process. It is suitable for organizations looking to reduce errors, improve working standards, and connect CAD data to real-world manufacturing.
- Supports 3D part design, assemblies, and 2D drawings
- Suitable for mechanical design, product design, and large assemblies
- Extend to MBD, simulation, manufacturing, and CAM workflows
- Suitable for Engineering, R&D, Mold, Tooling, and Manufacturing teams
Core Creo capabilities for product development

Drawing & MBD
Create 2D drawings, GD&T, and manufacturing information on 3D models for clearer communication with production teams.
Simulation Analysis
Analyze strength, stress, and potential issues before production to reduce testing and revision cycles.
Manufacturing / CAM
Connect CAD data to manufacturing preparation, toolpaths, milling, and manufacturing workflows.
Design, analyze, and manufacture in one workflow
This page shows customers how Creo goes beyond drafting software to provide an end-to-end product development platform.
Manage assemblies and mechanical parts systematically
Creo helps design teams accurately manage large numbers of parts, relationships between components, and assembly structures. It is suitable for mechanical design, system design, and products made up of multiple components.
- Supports small to large assemblies
- Helps control relationships between components
- Suitable for product development and mechanical design
Communicate manufacturing information with drawings and Model-Based Definition
Create 2D drawings, dimensions, GD&T, and the engineering information production teams need. Extend to MBD to present information clearly on 3D models and reduce discrepancies.
- Create engineering documentation from 3D models
- Supports GD&T information and annotations
- Helps reduce errors between design and manufacturing
Validate concepts before manufacturing with simulation
Reduce design risks by analyzing strength, stress, and component behavior. Help teams make faster decisions, reduce physical testing, and build confidence before manufacturing.
- Helps identify potential problem areas in components
- Suitable for product validation
- Reduce revision cycles and physical testing costs
Extend CAD design to real-world manufacturing
Connect design with manufacturing workflows such as milling, CAM, toolpaths, and manufacturing data preparation. Suitable for teams seeking closer continuity between design data and production.
- Supports a CAD-to-manufacturing approach
- Helps prepare data for CNC machining and milling
- Suitable for factories, mold making, and component manufacturing
