Why Most Engineers Stay in Core Creo, and When to Go Further

00:00 Introduction – Why Most Engineers Stay in Core Creo 01:03 Meet Daniela Alcantar 01:45 Why Engineering Teams Use Only a Small Part of Creo 04:51 Signs You May Need More Creo Capabilities 05:16 Repetitive and Manual Engineering Work 06:20 When Product Complexity Starts to Increase 06:56 Too Many Tools and Engineering Workarounds 07:34 Improving Consistency and Engineering Standards 08:04 Reducing Physical Prototypes and Late Design Changes 09:29 Creo Extensions That Can Deliver Fast ROI 09:50 Creo Advanced Assembly for Design Automation 10:41 Finding ROI with Creo Simulation 11:16 Creo GD&T Advisor for Consistency 12:29 Additive Manufacturing, Piping, Cabling and Tool Design 13:18 How to Think About ROI from Creo Extensions 14:02 Closing Thoughts – Get More from Your Existing Creo Investment Many engineering teams use the same core Creo capabilities for years: modeling, assemblies, and drawings. But as products, teams, and processes become more complex, engineers may find themselves relying on repetitive manual work, spreadsheets, macros, separate tools, or additional physical prototypes. In this SPK and Associates vlog, Michael Roberts talks with Daniela Alcantar about how organizations can recognize when it makes sense to look beyond core Creo functionality and consider additional Creo extensions. They discuss: Why engineering teams often use only a portion of Creo’s available capabilities Signs that manual processes and workarounds may be limiting engineering productivity How Creo Advanced Assembly can help with complex assemblies, top-down design, and product variations Using Creo Simulation to identify design issues earlier and potentially reduce physical prototypes and redesign How Creo GD&T Advisor can improve consistency across engineering teams Specialized capabilities for additive manufacturing, piping and cabling, tool design, and other engineering use cases How to think about ROI based on engineering time saved and repetitive work eliminated ABOUT SPK AND ASSOCIATES SPK and Associates (https://www.spkaa.com/) is a leading woman-owned Engineering & IT Services Company that serves product and software development teams.
