About this update from Ptc Inc.
AI Assistant provides engineering guidance, best practices, and troubleshooting information, reducing onboarding time and reliance on external documentationBeta: AI that reads your 3D model to help teams catch issues earlier and validate designs fasterHundreds of enhancements across design, simulation, and manufacturing, reducing repetitive work and enabling accelerated workflowsBOSTON, June 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PTC (NASDAQ: PTC) today announced the release of Creo 13 and Creo+ 13.3, the latest versions of its on-prem and SaaS Creo® computer-aided design (CAD) solution. The release introduces the Creo AI Assistant, along with hundreds of enhancements across model-based product development, simulation-driven design, and manufacturing, to help engineering teams deliver better designs in less time.Bringing AI Into the Design EnvironmentThe Creo AI Assistant gives engineers an expert resource embedded directly in their workflow. Through a chat interface in Creo, engineers can get instant guidance grounded in best practices, without having to search for documentation or wait on a colleague. Whether someone is new to Creo or an experienced user tackling an unfamiliar workflow, the assistant enables them to move faster, make better decisions, and spend less time searching through documentation.In addition to the available Creo AI Assistant functionality, this release also previews a beta capability that reads directly from the 3D model, extracting insights intended to help engineers catch design issues early, validate compliance, and surface key design data on demand. It's an early look at how AI will become an active part of the design process, rather than a generic tool layered on top."AI in the design environment is changing how engineering teams operate, helping them work faster and make decisions with greater confidence," said Brian Thompson, General Manager of Creo, PTC. "With the Creo AI Assistant, our customers are no longer limited by how much institutional knowledge any one person carries. That changes everything about how they can scale, adapt, and compete."More Power Across the Entire Design ProcessIn addition to the new AI Assistant capabilities, Creo 13 and Creo+ 13.3 deliver powerful improvements across product design workflows:User Productivity: Expanded feature presets, improved surfacing, sketcher, sheet metal, welding, and multi-body desig...
