GO FROM DESIGN TO FABRICATION IN RECORD TIME

Creo Advanced Framework Extension (AFX) gives engineers


and designers the power to create structural frameworks
much faster using powerful, simple-to-use features that are
tailored to specific framework design tasks.
An integral part of the Creo product family, Creo Key benefits
AFX provides designers and engineers with a
means to dramatically improve the accuracy and Unified, integral design environment
productivity of defining structural framework
assemblies. Because this module is native to Creo, • Fully associative modeling ensures that
design changes are reflected throughout the
you can quickly and easily share this intelligent 3D
design process
model throughout all phases of the
project–design, detailing, analysis, fabrication, • Single digital definition–incorporating all
and final assembly. Now you can achieve faster manufacturing information–eliminates
structural framework definition and meet or management of additional files
beat even the most aggressive project deadlines.
• Eliminate time-consuming data translation
Add Creo AFX to your cache of design tools and
between software applications
dramatically reduce the time to create accurate
structures, frames, or assembly lines compared
Simple
to 2D CAD and traditional 3D CAD solid
modeling methods. • Easy to learn and use

• Automates many tasks, significantly reducing


design time

• 100% parametric definition speeds design of a


wide variety of framework sections

Powerful

• Quickly define corner joints and nodes between


virtually any section

• Eliminate costly changes due to fit up problems


or rework

• Fully associative definition adapts instantly to any


Putting together structures using Creo Advanced Framework design change no matter how difficult
Extension eliminates fit up errors, saves valuable engineering
time, and reduces the cost of development. • Seamless integration with Creo Simulate for ™
