Creo Parametric & Surfacing Intensive
Description
This training class is for Industrial Designers and Engineers who have previously taken Creo Design and Surfacing courses with Design Engine previously but are now migrating from SolidWorks, Rhino 3d, or Alias Studio to Creo and require a refresher workshop.
Topics
- Build selection sets in Creo
- Intense reintroduction to Style & to IGES import with Data Doctor or IDD
- Learn to take advantage of isoparms/isolines with respect to striation or flow of a surface
- Learn about tangent issues in-depth using examples from difficult surface anomalies with or without control points
- Learn advanced details of Sweeps, blends & other curve & surfacing techniques to maintain Draft
- Techniques for capturing form by looking at various foam models to initiate the modeling process
- Building surfaces from graph features
- Alternative surface creation techniques from robust curves
- Introduction to 3D bounding boxes or lattice structures
- Create ridiculously robust models utilizing lattice structures
- Discuss how to incorporate handles for further control as well as understanding surfaces that look at those curves
- Reintroduction to Wet Cardboard: affecting light reflection with geometry and adding lead in for resultant surfaces
- Reintroduction to top down design using Skeleton Parts and published geometry
- Adding bounding boxes to models in hindsight
Duration & Cost
40 hours = $2850 per student
