Top Rated Creo Elements/Direct Modeling Alternatives

I made best out of creo in Additive manufacturing and simulation extension, I'm currently using the simulation aspects to run simulations before sending to manufacturing unit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I find 3D modeling bit more challenging and complicated to do in here. It do have the extension of generative shape design but still the story is no different Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's direct nodellingfeatures which gives user advantage of designing any product on very shorter time period considering overall design cycle; by which any designer can effectively save time by designing on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Any designer has do design as per manufacturing compatibility of the product but creo elements let desiner make geometries rather than making it by extraction/extruded and feature command, by this at times product may face issues as far as DFM is considered.

The creo elements is best solid modelling software for designing parts and assemblies in 2d and 3d. The design can be done with high precision. The part or assembly design can be analysed for thermal, stress and fatigue capabilities is the best feature to avoid failures. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No issues are faced during our use. Everything works properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has a very simple user friendly UI easy to understand and use. Its direct editing and interchangeability to work on models created in different tools is a one of the best highlight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It needs more development to make process faster. Third party format change takes a long time. Also need more advance feature to use to create models quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This tool allows us CAD users to create almost anything that comes to mind. Any basic tool shape is very easy to create once there is a clear understanding of the different actions and commands available within the PTC Creo menus. I have been using Creo for the past few years in CAD, from variable shapes of nanoparticles to basic parts for building an engine. Very easy to use and an incredibly useful tool overall.

Practically nothing. It is good for beginners and those working on concept development, but it cannot be used full-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I believe it is a very robust software with great capabilities. If you are a design developer, it is one of the best tools you can use. Without a doubt, the best part is that it is completely free. The basic modeling commands (extrusion, revolution, etc.) are very intuitive and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For me, it's difficult to say what I like least about this program... perhaps it would be that if you want to learn to use it fully, the learning curve it presents is difficult (especially if what you want to do involves surface modeling). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Included data analytics and animation software allow you to analyze the real-world physics and impact of your modeled object
In-depth and detailed interface
High quality surfacing and radii creation softwares
Flexible, easy to use layering capabilities
The clean colors and customizable Wireframe view make it great for complex assemblies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Failure mode has trouble handling large assemblies
The user interface can be challenging to learn, especially for people with limited previous 3D modeling experience
Some users find that development changes to the software make it more difficult to learn Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Creo Elements es una herramienta excelente para el modelado de sólidos en 3D. Además de ser un software que se puede descargar de forma gratuita, es muy versátil y útil para diseñar algo rápido y sencillo. Permite crear y modificar los datos del diseño en tiempo real. Sus funciones son muy interactivas y útiles, que ayudan al diseñador a realizar ciertas técnicas, como copiar y pegar, arrastrar y soltar o empujar y tirar. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Es un programa algo diferente a todos los productos que hay en el mercado dedicados también al diseño 3D de productos. Aprender a utilizarlo puede llevar algo de tiempo, simplemente necesitarás alguna clase inicial para tomar contacto con el programa y muchas ganas y empeño, ya que si no pones de tu parte no podrás aprender nada nuevo.

It has a lot of functionality. It can quickly make an engineering drawing, to a given specifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not many people outside of the Engineering world use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The cross-format compatibility is the best feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The usage made processor feel a little lethargic and slow. However, it might have to do with my hardware more than the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to "share" parts. As a company we went through many 2D Drafting software to get the right balance, but this feature, which I believe is unique to Co-Create is a major help and helps in easy creation and maintenance of drawings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
sometimes, ".dxf" translation from and to other sources hit a snag. but very few times.
Also, not too many training videos/manuals are available readily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
