The PTC Creo Elements/Direct Sheet Metal Productivity Package is a complete set of direct 3D design modules – packaged specifically for sheet metal designers. It enables you to create highly precise sheet metal designs while carefully managing all product development data. By leveraging the strengths of PTC Creo Elements/Direct Modeling, the world’s #1 direct 3D CAD system, you have the power to get products to market faster, reduce ECO frequencies and lead times, improve team collaboration, and ultimately decrease development costs.
Package includes the following PTC Creo Elements/Direct modules:
• PTCCreoElements/DirectModeling
• PTCCreoElements/DirectSheetMetal
• PTCCreoElements/DirectModelManager
