Creo Customer: Liebherr Goes Big with Creo’s Direct Modeling Approach

By Geoff Hedges | Published: August 22, 2011

 

In these Creo Customer blog posts, we’ve talked about numerous manufacturers in all kinds of businesses: RKS guitars, Santa Cruz Bikes, the guns that shoot around blind corners. All very innovative and interesting products. But they beg the question, “does it scale?” That is, can Creo Parametric or Creo’s Direct modeling approach work on the big, big models and machinery?

 

They do. Just look at what Liebherr, Germany, is doing to unlock value with its construction equipment. Liebherr, a long-time user of direct modeling software, makes models that are large in size and large in assembly complexity. At the same time, the company demands enormous flexibility from its design software. We featured Liebherr in a recent blog post about the world’s tallest construction crane. Here, Allison and Vince tell more about its fast and flexible heavy equipment in this episode of The Product Design Show.
