Benefits of additive manufacturing
With Creo additive manufacturing, you can develop innovative designs, optimize, and print to a variety of printers with ease, all within Creo. With no more time-consuming, error-ridden hassle of multiple software packages, you can reduce time-to-market and expense with rapid prototyping and enable part consolidation.
Creo additive manufacturing extensions feature enhanced lattice capabilities with the Delaunay stochastic algorithm and hard-edge definition, enabling lattice modeling, print tray optimization, and metal printing with support structures.
Innovate faster
AM enables you to create designs that could not be produced using traditional manufacturing processes.
Optimize design performance with lattice features, generative design, and simulation.
Improve time to market
Design, optimize, and print all within the Creo design environment, avoiding the time-consuming, error-ridden hassle of multiple software packages.
Easily design and print your part designs, with interference check, print tray setup, and nesting optimization.
Reduce expense
Save assembly costs by consolidating multiple parts into one. Minimize material usage with lattice capabilities.
Leverage AM for rapid prototyping, manufacturing fixtures, production parts, and service parts.
Additive manufacturing
print technologies
There are several fundamental printer technologies, each optimized for specific materials and desired outcomes. Fortunately, Creo makes it easy to 3D print to a wide variety of brands and types of printers.
Powder bed fusion
Thermal energy from an electron laser beam fuses layers from a powdered material bed.
For both polymers and metals, power bed fusion (PBF) is ideal for precise, functional parts.
Photopolymerization
Layers of liquid polymer are cured by a light or heat source.
This process produces a high-quality surface finish, ideal for prototypes.
Material extrusion
Material filament is extruded through a nozzle and deposited in layers.
This produces inexpensive physical models using polymer, metal, and composite materials.
Direct energy deposition
Metal is melted, deposited, and fused in place.
This print technology is perfect for large metal products.
Binder jetting
A bonding agent joins thin layers of powdered materials.
Metal and composite materials can be used to produce low-cost, high-volume parts.
Design for additive manufacturing
AM is not a stand-in for traditional manufacturing methods. It’s a new way of looking at product design.
Design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) leverages the transformational power of AM to provide engineers and designers with the tools needed to achieve highly complex
designs that break the barriers set by traditional manufacturing.
Innovate faster with Creo additive manufacturing
See what’s possible when you design for additive manufacturing. Only Creo gives you the power and flexibility you need to design, optimize, validate, and run a print check all in one environment.
