PTC is all about helping discrete manufacturers succeed by meeting their globalization, time-to-market, and operational efficiency objectives in product development. As one of the world's largest and fastest-growing software companies, we deliver a complete portfolio of integral Product Lifecycle Management solutions to over 25,000 customers in the Industrial, High Tech, Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Consumer, and Medical Device industries.

Highlights of this release include:
- Make design changes faster and easier!
Real-time, dynamic editing and disruption-free design will help users overcome the traditional barriers to flexible and easy design modification. (Enhanced direct surface editing is also up to 70% faster!)
- Accelerate time to productivity by up to 10X.
User Experience enhancements such as graphical browsing, intuitive UI enhancements, streamlined tasks and faster performance improve design efficiency and reduce time-to-market. (Create simplified sub-assemblies (envelope definitions) 78% faster. Create sheetmetal parts 30% faster, place forms 82% faster. New trajectory rib feature helps create parts up to 80% faster!. Analysis of weldment models is up to 10X faster. Create facing toolpaths 5X faster)
- Design in a multi-CAD environment faster!
Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 sets the standard for CAD interoperability. With increased native support for other CAD systems and non-geometric data exchange, designers can address the time-consuming and error-prone challenges of working with CAD data from disparate systems.
- Leverage new, seamlessly integrated Creo Elements/Pro applications.
Creo Elements/Pro continues to redefine how we work in today’s highly coupled, multi-disciplinary design environment. The new Creo Elements/Pro Spark Analysis Extension is the only commercially available product that helps analyze and optimize the electromechanical clearance and creepage properties of designs.

Continued technology leadership and enhancements to industry leading modules such as digital rights management, CAE, ECAD-MCAD collaboration, CAM and the newly introduced digital human modeling solution can save significant time and costs associated with wasteful physical prototyping, production rework and field failures. All of these capabilities are integrated to Creo Elements/Pro so users can reduce errors, time and costs from using too many disparate tools.
- Increase collaboration efficiency with breakthrough social product development capabilities.
Creo Elements/Pro 5.0, the first CAD solution enabled for social product development, will help users remove the communication barriers that prevent them from finding the right people and resources at the right time. Creo Elements/Pro’s seamless integration to Windchill ProductPoint, which leverages Microsoft SharePoint’s social computing technologies will help users find and reuse their design community’s collective knowledge and improve process productivity.
