Creo Advanced Surfacing
Advanced Creo Surfacing Training Description
In this course, we delve into the more advanced functions of Creo Surfacing. Realize we don’t use the word ‘advanced’ lightly and consider the word over used in order to sell something. While some of your team might identify as old-school surface modelers, our approach is modern, innovative and new. Consider us New-School. Having already completed the first course on robust Creo Surfacing basics and already discovering various Creo surfacing styles and techniques, you are now ready for this more advanced two-day course. While there are only five days within the week format and for your information this 2-day class is the second part of three two days classes making up the Design Engine WEEK ONE in the Creo Surfacing training class.
In this course we will review and revisit the basics of surfacing through specific examples, but this course is designed to propel you toward aggressive growth in surface modeling using your release or the latest version of Creo software. Discussions will emphasize understanding light reflection and exploring numerous Creo surfacing styles and techniques. Through practical examples, you’ll solidify your understanding of the basics and advance your skills in Creo software. This course is the precursor to the Creo Style training class which is the later portion of the WEEK ONE Creo Surface Training class.
