Creo Elements/Direct Modeling

What is Creo Elements/Direct Modeling?

The most comprehensive direct modeling capabilities on the market

With Creo Elements / Direct Modeling, you can make the most of direct modeling in 3D CAD.

Direct modeling is a lightweight, flexible design strategy that is fast. If you want to modify the geometry, click and use the drag handle or enter a new numeric value. You can modify with complete freedom as to the intent of the project. Therefore, direct modeling can be a powerful source of competitive advantage when you need to change a model in record time or when it is imperative to put your product on the market first.

Creo Elements/Direct Modeling is a mature product with the most comprehensive direct modeling capabilities on the market, as well as a full range of extensions to meet specific needs. So bring your most radical design change or that unique product: the software is intuitive, robust and ready for the task. Even with massive mounts. In addition, you or anyone on your team can pick up and work on a direct 3D product with minimal acceleration time.  You can easily embed data from multiple CAD partners or vendors and then quickly produce a prototype or digital proposal.

When you are facing design challenges or in a race of time, you will appreciate how direct and flexible Creo Elements/Direct Modeling is. With Creo Elements Direct Modeling, the faster your product hits the market, the faster the revenue is generated for your business.

Benefits of Creo Elements / Direct Modeling

• Reduce design cycles time by redefining or radically transforming existing projects into new and completely different products
• Quickly repeat product designs to create better opportunities for winning products in the market
• Emcomode important and unexpected design changes at any stage of development, keeping the transition to manufacturing on schedule
• Increase engineering productivity by eliminating resource bottlenecks and project delays through flexible design teams
• Directly launder multi-source CAD data from suppliers and subcontractors in the design process
• Easily move from 2D to 3D and easily switch from other 3D CAD systems. All legacy 2D and 3D CAD data is transported in Creo Elements/Direct Modeling
• Accelerate your product development process by leveraging seamless integrations for Creo downstream applications and other PTC products for advanced CAE, CAM visualization, enterprise-based visualization, and technical illustrations
