Hi,

Has anyone ever used, or is currently using, CoCreate Personal Edition? I noticed that it's a free download, complete w/ 3D and 2D capability. I currently use Pro/E Wildfire 2.0 Training Edition for all my 3D and 2D needs, and was wondering if CoCreate would be a good software to use as well.

If anyone can give me any feeback regarding the software, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I highly recommend it. The ease of use of CoCreate Modeling is amazing. I've used most of the major CAD systems, and I find that I can get things done much faster in CoCreate than any other product. Plus, the personal edition is free! I've used it to design a pinewood derby car for my son, and a castle project for my daughter.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. I assume that there is also no border saying "For Personal Use Only" on the drawings when they are printed out?

Thanks again.

"The only real drawback that I can see with the personal edition is that you only have a few export options, so you can't really send off part files for CNC manufacturing, etc."

Here you mean:

  1. it's not possible direct CNC machine control, or
  2. after doing a part I have no way to send it as an intermediate file (vector or whatever) to a 3rd party that will convert that file to it's CNC machine? If yes, what do you think is the real usage of this program, as all parts I do become "locked" into it?

Thanks

Jose
