It has been quite some time since 3D CAD became popular among those in the manufacturing industry. While the number of customers without 3D CAD has decreased, 2D CAD is still widely used. In this seminar, we will introduce the latest trends in CAD.

We are releasing a series of six seminars introducing PTC's 3D CAD, Creo, on our YouTube channel. This is recommended for those who missed the opportunity to register for this seminar series or who may have missed it. Please take this opportunity to watch.

At PTC Japan, we have launched "Creo Brothers Presents 'Creo Room'" on YouTube, featuring our skilled engineers. This time, we will introduce the "Mold Design Support Features for Cavity/Core Design in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling." Creo Elements/Direct Modeling includes Mold Design support features for cavity and core design. In this video, we will briefly introduce the overview of Mold Design. For more details, please check the related links.

PTC Japan has launched "Creo Brothers Presents 'Creo's Room'" on YouTube, featuring our skilled engineers. This time, we will introduce "Thermal Conductivity Analysis and Thermal Fluid Analysis." Both thermal conductivity analysis and thermal fluid analysis are useful for analyzing heat transfer and determining temperature distribution. The former can be executed with simple operations but is suited for analyses that do not require high precision, while the latter allows for various conditions to be set and is suitable for analyses that demand accuracy. We will explain the capabilities of these two analyses, the differences in thinking, and the differences in analysis scope, based on explanations and actual analysis examples. For more details, please check the link.

The use of 3D CAD in mechanical design varies depending on the customer's situation, with some companies having been using it for over 20 years and others just starting recently. According to data from December 2019, over 60% of companies are designing using 3D data. However, the methods of design instruction to partner companies show that 54.3% use drawings, 23.8% use 2D data, and when combined, about 78.1% of design instructions are given in 2D. In this context, when companies that have traditionally designed using 2D CAD adopt and utilize 3D CAD, discussions about "whether past 2D CAD data can be utilized" are frequently heard in our sales activities, not just regarding operational training and usage. The intention here is not to question the appropriateness of using past 2D data in 3D CAD, but to describe how to technically utilize 2D CAD data in 3D CAD using the feature "AutobuildZ" included in the basic package of Creo Parametric. Please check the details via the link.

At PTC Japan, we have launched "Creo Brothers Presents 'The Room of Creo'" on YouTube, featuring our skilled engineers. This time, we will introduce "Creating 3D Models from Scan Data." This is an introduction to the reverse engineering capabilities of Creo Parametric. It is a function that creates 3D models from point cloud data obtained by 3D scanning physical objects. It is used when there is a physical item but no 3D data available, and it serves purposes such as creating 3D models to compare 3D CAD design data with actual physical products, or to conduct structural or fluid analysis on reference physical items. For more details, please check the related links.

Creo is PTC's 3D CAD software that has been the industry standard for product design and development software for over 30 years. It offers high-end features tailored to customer needs. Starting today, May 1, PTC will begin selling the latest version of its award-winning, powerful, and user-friendly CAD system, Creo 11. The latest Creo enables optimal design in a shorter time frame through various enhancements that support electrification, composites, model-based definition, simulation-driven design, and advanced manufacturing. Creo simplifies workflows and provides an integrated design environment. There is no need for export/import. Therefore, when design requirements change, models can be easily updated to reflect new conditions. In Creo 11, the tools used daily have been significantly improved, making them easier to use than ever before. For more details, please check the related links.

At PTC Japan, we have launched "Creo Brothers Presents 'The Room of Creo'" on YouTube, featuring our skilled engineers. This time, we will introduce "Assembling the Same Part in Different States." Have you ever wanted to change the model's state between the part and assembly? For example, a spring is at its natural length when it's a part, but it stretches or compresses when assembled. Additionally, when placing multiple instances of the same spring, it needs to have different states depending on its location, even though it's the same part. We will introduce Creo's functionality for assembling the same part in different states. Please check the related links for more details.

PTC Japan has launched "Creo Brothers Presents 'The Creo Room'" on YouTube, hosted by our skilled engineers. This time, we will introduce "Creating Assembly Drawings from Wiring Models." We will present the Harness Manufacturing Extension, a feature that allows you to quickly create 2D drawings from wiring models created using the wiring design function PCX in Creo Parametric.
