Creo Robust Surfacing Techniques
Creo Surfacing Training: Robust Surfacing Description
This Creo Surfacing training course is titled ‘Robust Surfacing Techniques’ It is essentially the first two days so the Design Engine WEEK ONE Surfacing Training intensive, This is the course you should have had before you started surface modeling. In this course, we share all the basics of surfacing and many different Creo surfacing styles and techniques. Learn with our specific examples the basics of surfacing. More than an introduction, this course sets participants up for an aggressive growth into surface modeling using your or the latest version of Creo software. In this course, the premise is that it’s not how fast you model something, but how fast you can change it twenty times… the premise of resilient or robust modeling. Changes are inevitable.
For those participants that can’t take the full week off for Creo Surfacing training they might consider to take this two day course then take the other two day courses in consecutive months.
