Capabilities
  • Combine the simplicity of 2D CAD with the benefits of 3D CAD with this lightweight, easy-to learn software. Moving from 2D to 3D has never been easier.
  • Respond to unexpected or changing requirements more frequently and much later in the development process.
  • Import and completely edit 3D and 3D design data with numerous powerful capabilities.
  • Create and modify design data in real-time. Drive design changes through direct push-and-pull paradigms. Advanced geometry intelligence automatically recognizes features in the context of the 3D operation- even on geometry that’s imported from other 3D CAD systems.
  • Design using either a top-down or bottom up approach, or drag-and-drop your parts and assemblies just as you do with files and folders. Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express features a single environment for designing within the context of the whole product assembly. Users don’t just build parts or assemblies- they build real products.
