Turn Creo parts, assemblies, and saved views into polished product renders from a viewport capture.
Parametric 3D CAD for mechanical product design, simulation, and manufacturing workflows
Parametric 3D CAD for mechanical product design, simulation, and manufacturing workflows
PTC Creo teams often work with detailed parametric parts, assemblies, sheet metal, mechanisms, and model-based design views before they need a polished customer or review image. Creo Render Studio can produce photorealistic output inside Creo, and KeyShot's Creo plugin can transfer the model to a dedicated rendering scene with LiveLink updates, but both workflows can mean material setup, render settings, plugin management, and a geometry-transfer step. RENDERCAD is useful when the Creo viewport already communicates the design intent: capture the part, assembly, exploded view, mechanism pose, or saved orientation and turn it into a refined product render without exporting native Creo files or rebuilding the scene in another renderer. It fits proposal images, design-review visuals, sales sheets, enclosure concepts, machined parts, fixtures, and industrial product concepts where speed and source-model control matter more than a fully editable render scene.
Open the Creo part or assembly view you want to present, such as a saved orientation, exploded assembly, mechanism pose, section, or shaded design review viewport. Hide construction geometry and distracting annotations unless they clarify scale or function, then capture the viewport and upload it to RENDERCAD. Use the result to explore finishes for machined metal, plastic housings, sheet metal, fasteners, gaskets, lenses, and product enclosure details while the native Creo model remains in your controlled CAD/PDM workflow.

It is a "Zero Footprint" solution. All processing happens on our cloud GPUs, so your laptop fan won't even spin up while generating 4K images.
Since RENDERCAD is also browser-accessible, it fits perfectly into a fully cloud-based workflow without requiring local software installation.
AI excels at organic curves. It smooths out polygon edges in the render, making even lower-poly models look like smooth, manufactured parts.
It removes the guesswork of tweaking numbers. You get a good result immediately, rather than waiting 20 minutes to see if a setting was wrong.
It allows you to direct the "acting" of the video - adding steam, movement, or atmosphere that isn't present in the static CAD model.
Yes. Upload any photo as a background reference and the AI will composite your PTC Creo model into that environment with matching lighting and perspective.
Select your product with a mask, then invert it to select everything except the product. This makes background-only changes quick and precise.
Use the same reference images across multiple models. Consistent lighting, material, and style references ensure a cohesive product family look.
No need for bump maps. Use the RENDERCAD overlay to capture the view, then prompt "Black Leather." The AI interprets the depth and stitching automatically.
Select the "Gradient" background in RENDERCAD or prompt "Reflective Floor." The AI generates a ground plane reflection derived from your uploaded image.
In RENDERCAD video settings, set the End Frame option to "Seamless loop." This ensures the last frame matches the first for a perfect loop.
If your local renderer fails, bypass it. Upload a CAD screenshot, real photo, or hand drawing to RENDERCAD to get the image you need instantly.
