Creo Robust Surfacing Techniques
Description
In this Creo Robust Surfacing Techniques course, discuss the many different Creo surfacing styles and techniques. Learn with specific examples the basics of surfacing. More than an introduction, this course sets participants up for an aggressive growth into surface modeling using Creo software.
Topics
- Use Extruded and Swept surfaces to create simple surfaces
- Learn to build thin protrusions from single and merged surfaces
- Learn to use the Extend, Freeform, Blend, Revolve and Flat Tools to create surfaces
- Use Transform surfaces
- Learn the basics of Import Data Doctor by managing IGES & STEP
- Learn to use basic Sweep functions
- Use the basics of four part boundaries
- Utilize Merge to join surfaces
- Discover how well Creo handles 3-part boundaries but understand the inherent problems with these 3-part surfaces
- Discover blends
- Learn to use Surfaces with respect to Top-down design
- Learn to use Copy and Paste special with Curves and surfaces
- Use surfaces to effect solid geometry
