Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Express (a lightweight, teaser version of Creo Elements/Direct Modeling, with a limit on the number of parts you can include in assemblies).Creo Elements/Direct Modeling (evolved from CoCreate, professional-class direct modeler with sheet-metal and decal functions).Creo Direct (built from the ground up, new direct modeler aimed at hobbyists, enthusiasts, and concept modelers).


In fact, PTC now has not two but four direct-modeling alternatives: Under the campaign to remake itself as the house of Creo, PTC renamed CoCreate as PTC Creo Elements/Direct. That warrants an explanation, as PTC already has a robust, commercial-class direct modeler. Creo Direct 1.0, part of PTC’s Creo app family, was “built from the ground up,” in PTC’s own words.
