PTC deployed the Creo AI Assistant in its Creo 13 and Creo+ 13.3 CAD software, giving engineers a chat-based AI tool embedded directly in their design environment. The assistant provides real-time guidance grounded in Creo best practices and can create geometry and perform analysis in a sandboxed environment before an engineer approves any changes.

Details

Released in June 2026 with Creo 13 and Creo+ 13.3, the Creo AI Assistant operates at two levels: an 'Advise' mode that answers questions about Creo features and best practices using help documentation, and an 'Automate' mode that can generate geometry and run analysis in a sandbox environment, sending results to the engineer for approval before applying any changes to the model. A beta capability also reads directly from the 3D model to extract insights intended to help engineers catch design issues early. The assistant is available to users of Creo 13 (on-premises) and Creo+ 13.3 (SaaS).

Other practices by PTC

Data AnalysisPTC deployed PTC Orbit in June 2026, a cloud-native platform that aggregates asset data from multiple enterprise systems and applies AI to detect service patterns, calculate asset health scores, and forecast maintenance demand. It is designed to give engineering, quality, and service teams a unified, current view of each physical asset after it has shipped to customers.ProductivityPTC announced in December 2024 that it is developing Codebeamer Copilot, a generative AI tool built into its Codebeamer application lifecycle management software, in partnership with Microsoft and Volkswagen Group. The tool is designed to help software engineers create, manage, test, and validate product requirements more efficiently, with a beta released to select customers in early 2025.Data AnalysisPTC deployed Windchill AI Parts Rationalization in January 2026, an AI capability built into its Windchill PLM software that automatically detects similar or duplicate parts across a manufacturer's enterprise data. The tool identifies redundant parts and helps drive consolidation through change workflows, aiming to reduce inventory costs and prevent engineers from creating parts that already exist.
