Projects: Calculate the developed length of material needed. Creo Sheet metal accounts for bends of different radii and material thickness. Convert IGES file with inconsistent wall thickness and punch geometry into a Pro/Sheetmetal part ready for production. Curriculum can be combined with Creo Surfacing tools for automobile sheet metal functions or for smaller battery contacts.
Prerequisites: Prior experience with Creo Sheetmetal and a willingness to learn.
Topics:
- Set up Creo Sheetmetal for team design efforts.
- Bend allowance and developed length.
- Y & K factors
- Punch and die reference parts.
- Sheet metal bend tables.
- Deformation areas.
- Importing STEP or IGES geometry then creating flattened states from these imports.
- Flexible modeling specifically to Creo sheet metal
- Starting with Solid parts vs Sheet metal parts (convert vs conversion)
- Alternate methods and workflow for experts
Discussion:
- Discuss differences between Notch Forms and Punch Forms.
- Sheet metal design approach.
- Discuss Creo 5.0 & 6.0 iconography.
- Discuss K and Y factors and how to modify them for specific tooling or prototyping.
- Discuss stretching due to deformation areas.
- Create bend order tables that specify the order, bend radius, and bend angle used for manufacturing.
- Importing STEP or IGES geometry
- Flexible modeling specifically to Creo sheet metal
- Starting with Solid parts vs Sheet metal parts (convert vs conversion)
Tutorials:
- Layout and develop oven and stove component.
- Create complex beryllium copper battery contact with bend on top of form feature.
- Use bend table to control.
- Use automatic Ordinate Dimensions on sheet metal component in drawings.
- Design sheet metal parts defining the volume and support structures for the components of an assembly.
- Discuss obtaining specific tolerances.
