The second instalment of our two-part Creo 12 webinar series focused enhancements to Creo’s integrated design, simulation, and manufacturing capabilities. In this article we provide the highlights of that presentation, demonstrating how Creo 12 provides industry-leading composite capabilities, expanded Model-Based Definition, improved real-time simulation, and streamlined manufacturing workflows.
The LEAP PTC team recently ran a two-part webinar series outlining the key updates and enhancements included in Creo 12, designed to simplify workflows and improve usability. In this article we have provided video highlights of the presentation including live demonstrations of these exciting new features in action.
Creo Simulate Elite features structural analysis tools that allow you to evaluate product integrity inside the design phase and within the familiar Creo environment, and is included in the latest Creo subscription bundles (Creo Design Essentials, Creo Design Advanced and Creo Design Advanced Professional). In this article which includes highlights from our recent webinar on the topic, we discuss Creo Simulate Elite’s capabilities, walk you through the installation process, explain the simulation workflow and finally, demonstrate Creo Simulate Elite in action.
In this blog we highlight the latest innovations featured in our recent webinar on KeyShot 2025.2, where we unveiled powerful AI-driven features designed to streamline your workflow, enhance visual quality and help your business achieve more in less time. From delivering faster, cleaner renders with minimal manual effort to suggesting intelligent materials and lighting that expedite design decisions, KeyShot 2025.2 offers the tools you need to gain a competitive edge with quicker turnarounds and higher-quality visuals.
PTC has updated its desktop products license management system for applications like Creo, Mathcad, and more — covering both floating and node-locked licenses. In this article we have provided the key takeaways from a recent webinar delivered by Ben Muston, Senior Application Engineer at LEAP who walks through how license administrators can request, retrieve and manage licenses, including host changes, to help ensure an optimal setup for all users within your team.
Creo provides automated annotation features that enhance productivity and improve accuracy in the design and documentation processes. By reducing the manual effort associated with annotation tasks and ensuring consistency across models and documentation, these features support a more efficient workflow for engineers and designers. As part of our Creo Best-Practices webinar series, Ben Muston, Senior Application Engineer at LEAP recently covered these features in depth, and here we have summarised the key take aways and provided the video hightlights.
Among the many creative and diverse entries to our 2025 KeyShot Challenge competition were two submitted by Edward Poropat, Industrial Designer at Alchin Long Group that caught our eye. In this article, Edward provides some background on his two submissions, explaining each design and the processes he went through to create his fantastic renders.
In this post we show you how to set your team up for success with standardised drawing templates and formats in Creo. As part of our Creo Best-Practices webinar series, Ben Muston, Senior Application Engineer at LEAP recently tackled drawing formats and templates, covering title blocks, custom symbols, revision tables, repeat regions, and how to drive consistency across 2D and MBD-enabled drawings for efficient documentation processes.
In this post we delve into the world of Model-Based Definition (MBD) and demonstrate how to embed annotation data directly into your 3D CAD models. As part of our Creo Best-Practices webinar series, Ben Muston, Senior Application Engineer at LEAP recently took a deep dive into MBD, explaining 3D GD&T, semantic references, and leveraging annotation planes. Read on and watch the highlights of Ben’s presentation to learn how your team can streamline design-to-manufacturing workflows without relying on 2D drawings.
As part of our Creo Best-Practices webinar series, Ben Muston, Senior Application Engineer at LEAP recently took a deep dive into the fundamentals of 2D annotations within the Creo Parametric drawing environment. Here we have provided the highlights from this session which will guide you through creating clear, compliant 2D technical drawings with views, dimensions, notes, symbols, and GD&T annotations. Read on to learn how to improve the clarity and manufacturability of your 2D outputs.
