Explicit CAD, PDM, & collaboration software

The CoCreate product family is a complete design environment, offering 3D CAD and 2D CAD, integrated product data management (PDM), and collaboration software. A broad set of add-on design modules brings additional product development capabilities to CoCreate CAD and PDM products. CoCreate provides speed, flexibility, and responsiveness-to-change for customers facing short design cycles, one-off product designs, or companies demanding a lightweight design process. This explicit approach to 3D CAD software design delivers faster design cycles and flexibility to the 3D design.

For more information on the two main products in the CoCreate product family, please visit the CoCreate Modeling and CoCreate Drafting product pages.

- Confront unpredictable or radical design change with flexibility
- Work with multi-source CAD data as easily as if you created it yourself
- Eliminate resource bottlenecks by giving everyone the flexibility to quickly pick up existing designs and carry them forward

CoCreate Drafting

2D CAD for the mechanical design process
CoCreate Drafting is a complete 2D CAD system built on a part and assembly structure that is tuned to the specific needs of mechanical engineers and designers. Specialized features, in CoCreate Drafting, such as assembly management and parametrics expand beyond the full set of standard 2D design capabilities to provide a complete 2D CAD platform, perfect for the product development process.
