PTC, Inc. (formerly Parametric Technology Corporation) is a U.S.-based computer software company specializing in 2D & 3D design software, product lifecycle management (PLM), and service management solutions.
PTC Creo (Computer-Aided Design), PTC Windchill (Product Lifecycle Management), PTC Mathcad (Engineering Calculation) are the core product lines of PTC.
Creo
Why Creo?
Creo is a suite of applications you can use to design products the way you want – not the way your CAD tool requires. With Creo, you can create, analyze, view, and share designs downstream using 2D CAD, 3D CAD, parametric and direct modeling capabilities. Each Creo application shares the same user interface and is interoperable, meaning data can seamlessly transition from one to another.
Creo’s CAD Software Can Help You:
- Industrial Design
o Take advantage of technical surfacing capabilities, advanced surfacing, rendering, and reverse engineering.
- Concept Design
o Explore innovative product development opportunities with the most powerful concept design tools on the market, including: freeform surfacing, integrated parametric and direct modeling, and more.
- Routed Systems
o Design Easily create 2D schematic designs and documentation for piping, cabling, and harnesses, and then use them to drive the associated 3D CAD models.
- 3D Design
o It’s all here: from the basics of part and assembly modeling to mechanisms to aesthetic surface design.
- Simulation
o Analyze and validate the performance of your 3D CAD designs before you make the first part.
- Leveraging Design Data Across the Organization
o Make sure stakeholders throughout the organization can easily view, interact, and share product data.
- Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM)
o Ensure product designs seamlessly transition to manufacturing with NC, tooling and mold design solutions.
- Designing in a Multi-CAD Environment
o Work effectively with data from multiple CAD systems in a single design environment.
Creo Parametric
The Most Powerful, Flexible 3D Modeling Software in the Industry
Creo Parametric combines ease-of-use with capabilities that can handle whatever you’re planning or exploring. Feel free to to reuse designs or collaborate with others whose designs were authored in a different CAD system. Unite Technology makes it easy. With a few clicks you can seamlessly integrate CAD models authored in other systems right into Creo Parametric and then return your focus to where it should be – your design.
Creo Parametric gives you access to a richer, more efficient product design experience backed by our global resources and decades of experience.

PTC Mathcad
PTC Mathcad is Engineering Math Software That Allows You to Perform, Analyze, and Share Your Most Vital Calculations.
PTC Mathcad has all your engineering notebook’s ease-of-use and familiarity – combined with live mathematical notation, unit’s intelligence, and powerful calculation capabilities. This engineering math software allows you to present your calculations with plots, graphs, text, and images in a single document. Nobody needs specialized skills to understand PTC Mathcad data, and now that your intellectual property has been preserved, you can leverage it for other projects.
PTC Mathcad does what spreadsheets, word processing, presentation software, and programming applications simply cannot do—it brings powerful calculation capabilities into human-readable form. It integrates these readable, live calculations with plots, graphs, text, and images into a single, interactive, and professionally presented document. This ease and familiarity of an engineering notebook enables design exploration, validation and verification, and the clear communication of critical engineering information. You don’t need to be a PTC Mathcad expert to read and understand PTC Mathcad documents.
PTC Mathcad Prime Features and Benefits
- PTC Mathcad is math software that allows live mathematical notation, unit’s intelligence and powerful calculation capabilities, presented within an easy-to-use interface.
- Keep unit consistency throughout all engineering calculations.
- Ensure the design intent of your CAD model is documented, protected and accessible for future efforts.
- PTC Mathcad includes powerful capabilities such as specialized and pre-built functions for engineers to solve advanced engineering math.
- Quickly solve systems of linear, non-linear, and differential equations.
- Leverage data in existing spreadsheets easily.
- PTC Mathcad provides engineers with a powerful solution for calculating and visualizing trigonometry.
- Write and integrate your own functions, customizing your environment to meet your specific requirements.
- Many complex models require 3D views to better understand these models and data. Create 3D polar, contour and surface plots.
- PTC Mathcad allows CAD engineers to communicate engineering knowledge and design intent across the design lifecycle.
