CAD Customization

PTC Creo Customization, Automation & Integration

Unlock the full power of Creo Parametric. We develop Creo TOOLKIT and Object TOOLKIT applications, automate modelling and drawings, and integrate Creo with Windchill, ERP and your engineering systems.

Creo automation for complex engineered products

PTC Creo is used for demanding products in automotive, heavy equipment, industrial machinery and consumer electronics. These companies manage large assemblies, strict standards and PLM-controlled workflows, and there is huge potential to save engineering time through automation.

ENGIMANDI develops Creo applications with the official TOOLKIT APIs (C / C++ / Java) as well as lightweight automation with mapkeys and relations. We automate model generation, drawing creation, parameter management, quality checks and data exchange with Windchill and ERP.

FAQ

PTC Creo questions

Do TOOLKIT apps need a special licence?

J-Link and the free edition of Object TOOLKIT Java need no extra licence. Creo TOOLKIT (C) and the full Object TOOLKIT editions require development and runtime licences from PTC. We advise on the most cost-effective option.

Can you upgrade our old Pro/ENGINEER customizations?

Yes. We migrate Pro/TOOLKIT and legacy J-Link applications to current Creo versions.

Do you integrate with Windchill?

Yes. We automate Windchill workflows and connect it to ERP and other systems.

Can mapkeys solve simple automation?

Yes. For simple repetitive tasks we often start with mapkeys and relations before developing full applications.
